Introduction

I gasped, air burning my lungs, and woke up in my boyhood room, fifteen years in the past.

My nightmare, my first brutal life at the hands of my venomous wife Tiff and her associate Marcus Thorne, was seemingly over.

But then, my adoptive brother Kyle, with a greedy glint in his eye, declared at breakfast, "I want Tiff!"

He remembered. Kyle, the arrogant fool, was reborn too, still chasing the very woman who had orchestrated my destruction.

A cold, fierce joy ignited in me as I considered the drugs, the abuse, the helplessness I' d suffered in my past life at Tiff' s command.

He was blindly walking into the same web of torment, envious of a "glamorous" life that had been my personal hell.

The injustice of it, the sickening realization that he desired the very chains that had bound me, fueled a grim resolve.

I died believing I was discarded trash, and Kyle' s casual disdain for everyone else had festered in my first life.

But never again would I be a victim; this was my chance for justice, for everyone she' d hurt.

"If Kyle prefers Tiffany," I said, meeting my adoptive father' s surprised gaze, "I have no objection to marrying Olivia Vance."

My first move in a game of fate and vengeance had just been played.
