Reborn, I Refuse to Take Her Place

Sadie once betrayed her roommate Diana by taking her place at a meeting with Eric, the online crush Diana had confided in. Sadie married him, but the union curdled: Eric grew cold, and Sadie's desperate need for proof of his love turned into tracking, threats and self-harm. After seven years he told her he wished she were dead, and she died during an experimental psychiatric treatment.

She wakes on her dorm bed on the very day Diana was meant to meet him. Sadie hands back the white dress and refuses to go, urging Diana to meet Eric herself. When Diana returns wearing Eric's jacket, she insists he seemed disappointed, as though he were waiting for someone else. Sadie knows him far better than she admits, and she knows Audrey, his advisor's daughter, is the reason he once demanded a divorce.

Now Sadie must face the man she wronged and the friend she used, while a doctor's appointment stirs memories of the mother she lost to an institution. Can she truly let Eric go this time?
