She wakes on the morning of her engagement party, five years earlier. She doesn't scream. She doesn't cry. She walks out before the guests arrive and goes to the one man Julian fears: Adrian Kane, billionaire and head of a security empire. She offers him information about Julian's illegal dealings.

Because he's been waiting for this opportunity for fifteen years. The marriage is a performance—public appearances, shared penthouse, separate rooms.

⚠️ CONTENT WARNING | 18+ This is not your typical love story. Expect morally gray characters, a dangerous male lead, a fierce heroine, revenge, violence, mature sexual content, strong language, and complicated relationships. If you’re looking for rainbows, sunshine, and a conventional romance, this might not be the book for you. Reader discretion is advised. She spent her first life hunting ghosts. A legendary assassin. The unseen queen of an underground syndicate. A woman no one could kill, yet one who died with a single regret—never finding the family she'd lost. But not even Hell wanted her. So instead, she opened her eyes in the body of a young woman the world had condemned as insane, carrying memories that weren't hers... memories soaked in betrayal, cruelty, and five years inside a mental institution. They thought they had broken her. They had no idea they'd awakened someone far worse. Then she met the man they called the Devil. A breathtaking heir with the smile of an angel and the mind of a monster. He spoke of murder as casually as the weather, laughed while his enemies trembled, and wore kindness like a perfectly tailored suit. The world feared him. The world pitied her. Neither reputation was true. Because the Devil wasn't looking for someone to save him. And the Lunatic had never needed saving. Together, they would discover that madness is far more terrifying when it falls in love. After all... The most dangerous people aren't the ones who hide their monsters. They're the ones who smile while setting them free.
