About
Description:
Lydia Ashford knows exactly how a single polite favor can ruin a life.
An orphan raised in her aunt's noble household, Lydia grows up with beauty, good manners, and almost no power over her own future. In her first life, she accompanies her cousin Clara to a supervised courtship meeting at the abbey-and the gentleman meant for Clara leaves believing Lydia is the young woman he has chosen. By the time the mistake is discovered, the damage is done. Clara's marriage turns bitter, Lydia's own marriage becomes a cage of blame and restraint, and she dies carrying a lifetime of grievance.
Then Lydia opens her eyes and finds herself back at the beginning.
This time, when Clara asks her to come along, Lydia says no.
But refusing to repeat the past does not free her so easily. Julian Ashford, the man who once took her for granted, begins to see the cracks in the life they shared. Adrian Fairfax, the noble heir whose first mistake set everything in motion, is no longer a distant stranger. And in a world where family duty, reputation, and marriage bargains can decide a woman's fate, every choice Lydia makes threatens to entangle all of them in a different future.
Lydia has already lived one life shaped by silence and sacrifice. If she wants freedom this time, she will have to choose the truth-no matter whose heart it breaks.
