On the night of their third wedding anniversary, Aelara watches the man she has loved since childhood drive a blade through her heart and say her sister's name as he does it. She dies on the ballroom floor making one wish — not for revenge, not for answers, just the day before everything was decided. The day before she chose wrong. Fate listens. Because Aelara is not just a king's daughter. She is the Goddess of Fate and Life, and even dying, her power answers her own prayer. Reborn to the morning of the choosing ceremony, she faces four suitors and a kingdom that expects her to name Caelan Dray the God of Conquest, the man who will one day kill her. She does not. She names Riven Ashveil, the quiet, unbothered God of Sovereignty who has spent nine years showing up for her in every way that mattered and never once asking for anything back. No one understands the choice. Caelan does not grieve it. He starts watching her instead. And Lysa, her half-sister and Caelan's secret lover, goes very still. What follows is not a simple love story. It is a slow war for a kingdom, a throne, and a goddess's life fought in corridors and courtrooms and dark divine channels by two people who believed they were owed something and could not accept that they were wrong. Riven is the most powerful god in the kingdom. But power means nothing if you do not know what is coming for you. Aelara knows. She died once already. She is not dying again.

She was just the nanny. Quiet, kind-hearted, and desperately in love with the children she cared for. He was a grieving widower with too many secrets and a heart locked in silence. And when her world fell apart, his offer came with one condition—marriage. After walking away from her first love and discovering a truth that shattered her dreams of motherhood, Monet Palmer finds herself caught between a life she planned and the one she never expected. The Abbott house was only supposed to be a job—but somewhere between bedtime stories and tear-stained lullabies, it became home. Now, with a wedding she’s not sure she wants, and a man she’s afraid to love, Monet is forced to confront the one question that haunts her: What happens when the heart chooses a family… but not the groom? In this emotional slow-burn romance, secrets, healing, and unexpected affection collide. Because sometimes, the most powerful kind of love… is the one you never saw coming.

During the holiday, I make a rare trip back to my hometown. After dinner, Dad orders me to wash the dishes. I pause for a moment and ask, "Do we not have a caretaker at home?" Mom frowns and says, "Julia works so hard taking care of us every day. Since you are back, you should let her rest. You should be the one doing everything." I fail to fathom the logic behind her reasoning. So, I argue, "I am paying her to be a caretaker here. Is this not exactly what she is hired to do? How does it make sense that I pay and still have to do the chores myself?" My words make the caretaker, Julia Woodard, cry. My parents get angry at me too. The frown on Mom's face becomes even more pronounced. "What's the point of raising you? We barely see you all year. You are not as thoughtful as Julia! At least she stays by our side every day." Dad points at me and scolds, "You might as well stop coming back. From now on, Julia is our real daughter! Go do whatever you want!" I let out a helpless laugh. I am busy working away from home, but I send a large amount of money back every month and even fork out extra money to hire a caretaker for them. But in the end, they think her as their caring daughter and shower her with affection instead. If that's the case, I'll stop sending money and see whether Julia will still act like their "daughter" for free.

Every Christmas Eve in Port Saint Giovanni, the Camerlano family hosts the Claiming Rite at Saint Giovanni Manor. Twelve girls stand in a line. Whoever receives the white-gold signet pin becomes the heir’s publicly acknowledged bride candidate. I am Grace Sorrento, the bastard daughter of the Sorrento family. If I do not receive that signet tonight, by sunrise I will be put on a plane to Chicago and married off to a Rizzo, a man rumored to have killed two former fiancées. Adrian Camerlano, the boy I grew up with, swore to me in blood three days ago that the signet would be mine. But when the moment came, his hand turned. With a smile, he pinned it on Lucia, the orphan his family had sponsored. Then he leaned close to my ear. "Let Lucia have her moment. No one has ever really looked at her before. Don’t worry. This is my estate. No one will dare arrange your marriage without my say." I grabbed his sleeve, but he removed my fingers one by one. "Lucia has no roots and no last name. Tonight is all she has. But you are a Sorrento. Even without the signet, no one will touch you." That phrase, no last name, drew every gaze in the ballroom toward me, full of pity and quiet mockery. The next morning, I boarded a flight to Chicago. When Adrian heard, he made one call to Port Saint Giovanni Air Control. "Ground every plane. Nothing leaves today!"

„Lass mich für einen einzigen Monat wirklich deine Frau sein, Daven.“ Es klang wie eine einfache Bitte – wie ein letzter, stummer Aufschrei einer zutiefst verletzten Frau. Doch für Althea Grayson war es eine Frage ihres Stolzes. Es war der Preis für all die Liebe, die sie gegeben, aber nie zurückbekommen hatte. Sie hatte es von Anfang an gewusst: Ihre Ehe war keine Liebesgeschichte. Daven Callister hatte sie aus Pflicht geheiratet, gedrängt von seiner Großmutter. Zärtliche Umarmungen, liebevolle Blicke – all das hatte es nie gegeben. Es gab nur kaltes Schweigen und ein Haus, das sich nie wie ein Zuhause angefühlt hatte. Trotzdem hielt Althea daran fest. Sie versuchte, eine gute Ehefrau zu sein, und klammerte sich an die Hoffnung, dass Daven ihr eines Tages vielleicht sein Herz öffnen würde. Doch diese Hoffnung zerbrach, als er sie verriet – er wollte eine andere Frau heiraten. Die Frau, die er wirklich liebte – ganz gleich, ob Althea einverstanden war oder nicht. Und seine ganze Familie unterstützte ihn dabei. Verletzt und ernüchtert bat Althea ein letztes Mal darum, einen Monat lang geliebt zu werden – wie eine echte Ehefrau. Ein einziger Monat … bevor sie für immer ging. Daven hielt das für einen verzweifelten, beinahe beschämenden Versuch. Doch dieser Monat stellte sein Leben auf den Kopf. Altheas Lächeln, ihre bedingungslose Art zu lieben – und sogar die Art, wie sie am Ende ging – all das ließ etwas in seinem Herzen zurück, das er nicht mehr loswurde. Und jetzt war Daven verloren. Jetzt, da sich die Liebe, die er nie gesehen hatte, endlich gezeigt hatte … war es vielleicht schon zu spät. Oder sollte er doch kämpfen – gegen alles –, nur um eine einzige zweite Chance?
