Ablaze is what I feel every time Micah looks my way, because he is dark, otherworldly, and alluring. Irresistible is the pull between ustaut, yet unbreakableand it binds us to one another despite our efforts to deny its presence.Black and blue is the color of my skin, because my mother doesnt keep her hands to herself. Shattered is the state of my heart, because she is all I have left, and she doesnt love me anymore.No control is what I have, because in all things, I am powerless. Im to be forever at the mercy of others.This is my story, and its one of violence and darkness, but its also one of love and light.

Lily Stassen: awkward nobody by day; same by night.Not suited for the limelight, I was just another face in the background. I was a simple woman who liked simple things, and I craved a simple way of life. But when I met Wren, everything changed I changed. Wren was the CEO of Intrigue, a luxury lingerie company, and I was his new, reluctant secretary. He was everything I wasnt: mysterious, cold, gorgeous, and confident. So, imagine my surprise when I found out I had broken his heart in a past life. Me The nobody.Wren Everly, Duke of Avondale: sexy billionaire by day; nightmare by night.Imagine my surprise when my new secretary steps into my office and she looks exactly like a woman from my past. Id lived a hundred and forty years without Lily, so I couldnt fathom why I nearly crumbled at the sight of her. Being the fool that I was, I thought I could separate who she was in the past from the woman before me, but it was impossible. She was the same person reincarnated; she was the woman I had loved.
