It was loving my husband that marked the beginning of my misery.
“Penelope must remain a virtuous wife until I cast her aside.”
To her husband, Penelope was merely a means to an end — a vault and a tool.
“I should have gotten rid of a nuisance like you from my life long ago.”
To her trusted friend, Penelope was a weed that needed to be uprooted.
On the day she uncovered the truth, Penelope was murdered by her husband and her friend. As she sank into the dark sea, taking their vile secrets with her, she thought that was the end of it.
But for some reason, she woke up on the very day she had died. It was the same time and day, yet it was a world that had changed one month before her death. There, she met a man who had died on the same ship and returned to life alongside her.
***
He was a suspicious man who had collected evidence of her husband’s affair in order to force a divorce.
“I want to kill the man who murdered my first love — your husband.”
Believing in the fire of his vengeance, Penelope made him an offer.
“Would this be enough to buy a chance to dance with you, Your Grace?”
“You asked me to be your sponsor. If you need me, then take me. Go ahead, Penelope — ride my name and stir things up as much as you like.”
But why would a man known for his cold calculations give so freely to Penelope alone?
“When I said I’d do anything for you…”
Blade’s words now hold the key to the mystery that began aboard the opulent cruise ship.
