Five years ago, I woke up naked beside my husband’s beta, and in that moment, my entire world burned. My mate, Draven, the Alpha of Midnight MC, looked at me like I was filth. He didn’t let me speak. He didn’t believe me. He stripped me of my title, my name, and everything I was, and he banished me. I rebuilt my life from the ashes as a mechanic. A woman learning to live without the bond that once defined her. Until the day he walked back into my life, not Draven, but his estranged stepbrother, Calix. The same man who used to torment me in college just to get under my skin. Cocky, reckless, and infuriatingly charming, the kind of danger that made my heart forget how to beat. He offered me a deal to pretend to be his girlfriend in a three-month biker tournament and he’d rebuild my shattered shop. I should’ve said no. Because when I walked into that tournament, I saw Draven again, he looked colder than I remembered... and standing beside him, heavily pregnant, was my best friend, Lauren, who betrayed me. Now my past and present are colliding in flames. The mate who abandoned me wants me back. The stepbrother who once bullied me wants me. And the lies that ruined my life are unraveling faster than I can breathe. I’m torn between two brothers, one who broke my soul and one who pieced it back together. And I don’t know which one I’m meant to love... or which one will burn me in the end.

Después de dejar la universidad, mis padres no me presionaron. Pero la amiga de la infancia de mi novio, esa que se hacía pasar por la chica perfecta y de alto coeficiente intelectual, me llamó por teléfono. Yo estaba ocupada trabajando en el campo, sembrando verduras y jugando con el agua, sin tiempo para programar. En mi vida pasada, ella presentó su proyecto de diseño de software un día antes que yo, era exactamente igual al mío. Todos me acusaron de ladrona, de farsante sin escrúpulos. Intenté defenderme, pero nadie me creyó. Más tarde, incluso abrió un canal de transmisiones en vivo para difamarme, diciendo que yo la acosaba en la escuela. La gente en internet enloqueció, atacando cruelmente a toda mi familia. Mis padres, tratando de huir de los fanáticos que los perseguían, murieron en un accidente de coche. Yo no soporté el golpe, me lancé desde lo alto de un edificio… sin poder cerrar los ojos en paz. Hasta el último instante de mi conciencia, no entendía nada. ¿Por qué, si era mi esfuerzo y mi trabajo, alguien más pudo publicarlo antes que yo? Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, estaba de nuevo en el día anterior al plagio.
