Heir’s Pawn, Twice Betrayed

He was the heir I saved from the fire—the man who would become both my salvation and my undoing. When Gabriel Whitmore returned to claim his fortune, the town buzzed with secrets, but no one knew I’d lived this moment before. In another life, I asked for love and became a pawn in their games—betrayed, locked away, poisoned by the girl who wore white at his side. This time, I bow my head and ask only for safety, but the Whitmore estate is a maze of old grudges and new dangers. Judge Langley plots, Gabriel’s heart hardens, and I must decide if survival means giving up on hope forever. Can I break free of the cycle, or will history repeat itself—one heartbreak at a time?
