Deuxième Chance

Anthony Hudson was just a broke pizza delivery driver trying to survive college and keep his sick mother alive. Then, in one night, everything fell apart. He caught his girlfriend cheating. His mother collapsed. And the hospital demanded half a million dollars for the treatment that could save her life. With only $314 to his name, Anthony had nowhere left to turn. Until Robert Stark appeared. The billionaire CEO of the Stark Consortium claimed to have spent twenty years searching for Anthony's mother. Now, he was offering Anthony something beyond his wildest dreams. An inheritance worth billions. A life of unimaginable luxury. And a place inside one of the most powerful families in the world. But there was a catch. To inherit the Stark Consortium, Anthony must marry one of Robert's seven daughters. Seven beautiful women. Seven different personalities. Seven different reasons for wanting him close. Some see him as an opportunity. Some see him as a threat. And one has already decided she won't let him escape. Anthony thought becoming rich would solve all his problems. He had no idea he was walking into a family where love, obsession, and power could be more dangerous than poverty.

Seo Yuna died saving Han Jae-won's life. For three years afterward, the official report said he was never in any danger. Three years later he awakens, and the system hands him the worst classification on the board. F-Class: Soul Resonance. A party trick. Something that senses ghosts. Something the internet turns into a meme and the Association files under liability. But when a hunter dies in his arms, Jae-won does something impossible. He resonates, and for ninety seconds he wears a dead man's power like a borrowed coat, carrying that man's last memories along with it. The dead leave more behind than bodies. And one of them never left at all. Yuna is still there. A voice in his skull, and it sounds exactly like her. She knows things about his ability that she shouldn't know. She warns him about people he has never met. And sometimes, in the dark, she says things Yuna never would have said. Now the F-Class freak is the only person alive who can touch the souls of the fallen, and someone has been harvesting those souls for years. The deeper Jae-won digs into the night Yuna died, the less the report makes sense.

She is Nine. Blade IX of the Nine Abysses. Three hundred years ago Hell erased her name, burned its sigils into her arms, and installed a recitation under her ribs that counts her target's sins until the day she ends him. Her target: Xiao Jin, crown prince of Dalang. Wolf-blooded. Disrespectful. Weighed and found owing. The Moon's blessing makes a wolf prince untouchable to enemy blades. Only his bride can take him: the one who shares his bed and speaks the condemnation in the bridal rite. So Hell sends brides. Two burned before her. Seven was collared and sang for three days. Now Nine walks into the Looking Room wearing a drowned girl's face, meaning to be chosen. He chooses her. Then he laughs at her, a real laugh, the first true thing anyone has given her in three hundred years, and the recitation under her ribs goes silent mid-word. Now she is his chosen bride, one locked door from his bed, with a priest who already knows what she is, a kingdom that believes he murders brides, a Hell that does not forgive failure, and a mission she can no longer remember how to speak. Every chapter ends with something snapping. The only question that matters: which of them breaks first, and into what.
