Adrian Hale, the ruthless young heir to the Hale Group, has long built his life around his career, his trusted friend Emmett Rusk, and his long-time lover Julian Crane. That carefully ordered world collapses when he is lured into a deadly ambush engineered by the very two people he trusts most. In the bloodshed that follows, the last person Adrian expects to step between him and a bullet is Milo Ellery: the quiet, gentle young man his grandfather pressured him into marrying, the husband he has treated with cold indifference from the day they wed. Milo dies protecting him, leaving only a half-spoken confession and a lifetime of regret burned into Adrian’s heart. When he next opens his eyes, Adrian finds himself reborn, transported back to the early months of his arranged marriage. With full foreknowledge of every betrayal lying ahead, he finally sees what he once refused to see: Julian’s performative tenderness, Emmett’s simmering resentment, and the silent, unshakable devotion Milo has carried for him for years. Determined to rewrite his fate, Adrian vows to shield Milo from harm and settle old scores with his betrayers, as what starts as a debt of gratitude slowly deepens into a soft, all-consuming love he never thought possible.
