When her mother died, her father wasted no time bringing his mistress and her two children into the house. In her last life, Ella Buckley was destroyed by the three of them — abandoned by everyone, stripped of everything, and left to die alone. Given a second life, Ella endured five years of humiliation, biding her time and planning every move to outwit her stepmother, stepsister, and stepbrother. Her revenge was complete. And along the way, she crossed paths with Luke Nash, the man who had once saved her life. Two kindred spirits, drawn to each other by mutual understanding, they finally found their way to happiness together.
