About this book
I died heartbroken, betrayed by my husband and best friend. I woke up eighteen again, before it all began. This time, I won't be fooled by his charm. I'll use my knowledge of the future to build my own empire and make them regret ever crossing me. Watch me.
Chapter 1
The summer I turned eighteen, Liam Roscente taught me what it meant to fall from grace.
My body ached, but my heart soared through the night.
I thought my six-year secret crush had finally come true.
Then, the next morning, I overheard them by the classroom door.
His friend's voice slipped through the gap.
"Damn, Liam—you even landed the Prom Queen?"
I froze mid-step.
Liam's laugh was low and careless.
"The Campus Belle said I needed more experience."
"So I practiced on Emma Evans."
I stood there, silent, just outside.
Sunlight cut across my face, but I couldn't feel a thing.
Before I turned to leave, I pulled out my phone.
I switched my college application from New York to Paris.
His words were like shards of ice, sharp and sudden.
My blood went cold.
Even in the thick of summer, I was shaking.
The voices carried on.
"So you just used the Prom Queen as your test run?"
Liam snorted.
"She was willing. Not my fault."
Someone chuckled.
"She chased you for six years. Guess she finally got what she wanted."
Liam sounded almost bored.
