He Once Said Love Lasts Forever

Everyone said Caleb Stone loved Kelly Hope to the bone. To marry her he defied his parents and endured ninety-nine lashes with a cane. Yet on their wedding day he chose Jenna, a young housekeeper, willing to surrender his inheritance for her sake. He begged Kelly to understand: Jenna had saved him when his enemies drugged him, and he owed her a debt. Marriage, he swore, was only a formality; Kelly was the one he truly loved.

Kelly remembers another life. In it she became his hidden mistress, endured humiliation, and died beaten for a crime she never committed. Now she has woken again on her wedding day, and this time she cuts through her gown and calls the wedding off. She turns instead to the Croft family, whose heir, Sebastian Croft, once offered three hundred million for a marriage.

Caleb still comes to her in the night, certain she is waiting for him. But Kelly has learned that even the deepest love can fade, and she will not drink the same poison twice.
