Fated Hearts: Reborn to be His Duchess

Once, Elysia Hartwell loved the Crown Prince enough to destroy herself for him.

As the last surviving daughter of the fallen Hartwell family, she entered a royal marriage believing devotion could earn affection. Instead, she spent four miserable years trapped beside a cold, indifferent husband who viewed her love as nothing more than a burden. Humiliated, abandoned, and blamed for a marriage she never truly chose, Elysia dies with nothing but regret in her heart.

But fate grants her an impossible miracle.

She awakens once more at seventeen—the night the King intends to arrange her engagement to the very man who ruined her life.

This time, Elysia refuses.

Before the entire royal court, she crushes every rumor of her obsession with the Crown Prince and boldly declares her admiration for the kingdom’s most feared and untouchable nobleman: Cassiel Drakemont, the Duke of Draevenor.

Cold, dangerous, and impossibly powerful, Cassiel is nothing like the golden prince she once adored. Whispers follow him through every ballroom, and even the nobility fear standing too close to him. Yet beneath his ruthless reputation lies a man who sees every wound Elysia tries to hide—and is obsessed with protecting the woman who chose him when no one else dared to.

As political schemes tighten around the throne and the Crown Prince begins to realize the woman who once loved him has slipped beyond his reach, Elysia finds herself caught between revenge, redemption, and a romance far more intoxicating than the one she left behind.

In her first life, she begged for love and lost everything.

In this one, she plans to rewrite her destiny… even if it means becoming the duchess of the kingdom’s most dangerous man.
