Marriage of Convenience
Bianca de Arno, the infamous, spendthrift countess, thought death was her final escape from a life of regret. She squandered her husband Zachary’s fortune, turning a blind eye to his sacrifices on the battlefield, only realizing the monstrous wife she’d been in her dying moments. But a desperate plea for a second chance is answered, thrusting her back into her 19-year-old body, a fresh slate with a lifetime of mistakes to correct!
Now, Bianca isn’t just looking to redeem herself; she’s determined to truly *see* the man she once dismissed as a mere convenience. Count Zachary, the stoic warrior she so cruelly neglected, now appears in a new, complex light. But how do you rebuild trust where there was only contempt? How do you awaken affection in a heart hardened by years of her past cruelty? Bianca faces the daunting task of unraveling layers of misunderstanding, battling her own wicked reputation, and proving that this time, she’s not just a different woman, but one capable of genuine love and devotion. Can she transform a marriage of convenience into an unbreakable bond, or is their fate sealed by the shadows of her first life?
