5 Second Rule Book

I thought I was Flynn Lancaster's wife. Until the night his *real* wife showed up at our door, pregnant and demanding a divorce. Three years of being the perfect wife. Three years of dyeing my hair, quitting my job, losing myself. All based on a lie. Flynn never divorced Sienna. Which means our marriage is a fraud, and I'm just the other woman. But when Sienna reveals the truth about Flynn's criminal empire, his pattern of abuse, and the mysterious death of her partner, I realize something worse: I'm not the first woman he's destroyed. I won't be the last. Unless we stop him. Two wives. One monster. And a conspiracy that goes deeper than either of us imagined. Flynn thinks he can control us. Silence us. Make us disappear like he's done to others. He's wrong. Because the woman he tried to erase? She was never really his wife. She was a kidnapped heiress with a photographic memory and nothing left to lose. And she's about to burn his entire world down.

She died a naive heiress. She woke up a cold-blooded ghost. Clara Vane was murdered by the two people she trusted most: her husband, Marcus, and her best friend, Sienna. Pushed from a rooftop on the night that should have secured her future, she was supposed to be a forgotten sacrifice. Instead, she wakes up three years in the past—before the lies took root, and before the betrayal cost her everything. This time, Clara isn't playing the victim. She’s the predator. To dismantle Marcus’s empire, she enters a high-stakes contract with the "Ice King" of the corporate world, Alistair Thorne. Alistair is a man whose name alone silences courtrooms and ruins bloodlines. He offers her the protection she needs, but his shadow comes with a price that blurs the line between a business deal and a dangerous obsession. Revenge is a cold game, and with Alistair at her side, Clara is ready to play. But in a world of wealth, ancient secrets, and absolute control, she’ll have to decide how much of her soul she’s willing to burn to watch her enemies ash. Some betrayals cut deeper than death. Some second chances are written in blood.
