He dies on a rain-swept road and wakes up at the moment that started it all—two years earlier, with a second chance and one stubborn regret: he never protected the girl he loved. Ian Peters remembers every cruelty, every missed goodbye, and every loss from his first life. This time he vows to change the ledger: keep his mother alive, stop the rumors, and—most dangerously—keep Annalise May from self-destruction. But Annalise is not the helpless heroine she looks like; she’s a brilliant, reckless heiress with a private grief and a private vice. Protecting her will cost him everything if he plays it wrong. A reset gives Ian foresight, but not power. He must learn how to climb faster, fight smarter, and love before he’s allowed to lose again. He will steal small victories, expose liars, and build a life so impossible the past can’t touch it. The question is simple—and sharp: will second chances be enough to rewrite a destiny built on silence?
