Ethereal Souls

When Sadie Blake died clutching divorce papers, watching her husband Marcus Whitmore and best friend Gwen celebrate over her poisoned body, she swore her last breath would not be in vain. Betrayed, beaten, and robbed of her unborn child, she closed her eyes on a life of shattered dreams. But fate had other plans. Sadie awakens three years in the past, standing before the same three marriage contracts that once sealed her doom. The first belongs to Marcus Whitmore—the man who would become her murderer. The second to Julian Ashford—her childhood sweetheart who chose Gwen over her. The third to Damien Cross—the disabled CEO she'd callously rejected, pitying his wheelchair-bound condition. This time, Seraphina knows exactly who to choose. What she doesn't know is that Damien Cross harbors his own deadly secret. Reborn from his own violent death at Marcus and Gwen's hands, he's spent three years plotting their destruction. When the woman who once scorned him suddenly appears at his altar, willing to be his bride, Damien suspects a trap. Two souls reborn. Two hearts burning for vengeance. One marriage contract that will either unite them in their quest for justice—or destroy them both when their hidden truths collide. In a game where love and revenge intertwine, will Sadie and Damien become each other's salvation, or will their secrets tear apart their second chance at life? Sometimes the greatest revenge is living well... together.

Dylan Fontanilla had everything a man could ever ask for... a successful career, a promising future, and the woman he loved more than his own life. To him, his world was already perfect. Until one morning, that perfection was torn apart. He woke up to the cruel truth that his girlfriend was about to marry another man. The reason was even more painful: she had betrayed him, and her parents had forced her into marriage after discovering her infidelity. In a single breath, Dylan lost the love he thought would be his forever. Then, on one reckless and drunken night, fate led him to Kaia Clemente, the longtime best friend and forbidden lover of his ex-girlfriend’s fiancé. Two broken souls collided, bound by the same betrayal. From that night, a dangerous plan was born. If he could no longer have the woman he loved, then he would take the woman meant for the man who stole her. If this was a war of stolen hearts, Dylan vowed he would never be the one to lose. What began as a game of revenge turned into a game of desire. Love was never part of the plan. Yet fate had its own twisted sense of humor. What Dylan never expected was that their reckless scheme would lead them not to destruction… but to the altar, standing before God, exchanging vows neither of them planned, yet both would soon be unable to escape. Because in a game that began with betrayal, only one question remained: Was their marriage built on revenge… or was it destined to become real love?
