Live by the Lie: Rising Again from Ashes

She died once. She won't die again.

Astrid Winthrop has everything—a legendary family name, a fortune built over generations, and a heart that believes in goodness. When she meets Sebastian Morrow, a philanthropist who seems to share her every passion, she thinks she's found her soulmate. He volunteers at her shelters. He rescues the same strays. He loves the same causes.

But on her wedding night, a nightmare floods back: a forest, a rope, and the cold certainty of betrayal. Except she's still alive. And she remembers everything.

Now Astrid knows the truth about her perfect husband. His charity is a lie. His love is a con. And he'll stop at nothing to drain her foundation dry—even if it means silencing her forever.

Armed with the knowledge of what's coming, Astrid begins a dangerous game of deception. She'll smile through dinners, sign his papers, and play the devoted wife—while secretly gathering the evidence to destroy him. But she's not alone. Enter Alexander Hawthorne, a billionaire CEO with his own reasons for wanting Sebastian brought down. He's everything Sebastian isn't: fierce, loyal, and utterly determined to protect her.

As Astrid navigates a world of shell companies, money laundering, and human trafficking, she must decide how far she's willing to go for justice. She survived the forest once. This time, she's the one setting the trap.

Because the man who killed her is about to learn that some women rise from the ashes.
