Life rarely offers a second chance. But if it does— I’m not going to waste it on suffering and obedience. Now I’m Adèle Faber, a titled lady in a world where traps hide behind polite smiles, and luxury is just a gilded cage. But I’m not going to be a convenient wife and someone’s puppet. I’ll have a home that becomes my refuge. A job that brings independence. And a man that high society will never accept—yet I’ll be able to trust him with the most important thing: myself.
