Drowning in Second Chances

Summary

I’m a villain. A total Mean Girl.

Ten years ago, I leveraged a family debt to force Julian Sterling to marry me.

I forcibly tore him apart from his soulmate, Annie Clarke, and made him hate my guts. He loathed me for a decade.

But later, when we were trapped in a catastrophic flood, he swam against the current, exhausting every ounce of his strength to save me.

When the water rose again, threatening to swallow us whole, he lifted me high above his head, keeping me safe while the deluge consumed him.

The water crept over his lips, then filled his lungs.
