Five times I died. Five times I tried to build a life, a bond, with Ethan Cole, and five times I failed. The last time was a masterpiece of cruelty. He knew. All along, through every new face, every persona, he knew. "I'd rather jump off this skyscraper, Amelia, than be with your desperate act." His icy words cut deeper than any simulated death the ReLife Program put me through. My current identity, Maya, drowned three days later. Always an accident. I was trapped in an endless loop of new lives, new hopes, and the same crushing, inevitable end. Just survive. Stop dying. Exhausted, I was offered an unprecedented choice: Ethan, or Liam Walker, his best friend. As consciousness faded, a desperate whisper echoed: "Next time... choose me..." A dying hallucination? Or was it Liam? I chose him. I became Sarah Miller, armed with five lifetimes of observation, determined to finally break the cycle. But Liam wasn't the salvation I hoped for. He was aloof, his actions bafflingly calculated. My carefully planned "accidental" encounter with CEO Liam ended with a cold dismissal, leaving me shattered. Was I destined to another death, or could I finally escape this cursed program, and the frustrating game he seems to play?

Introduction

Five times I died.

Five times I tried to build a life, a bond, with Ethan Cole, and five times I failed.

The last time was a masterpiece of cruelty.

He knew.

All along, through every new face, every persona, he knew.

"I'd rather jump off this skyscraper, Amelia, than be with your desperate act."

His icy words cut deeper than any simulated death the ReLife Program put me through.

My current identity, Maya, drowned three days later.

Always an accident.

I was trapped in an endless loop of new lives, new hopes, and the same crushing, inevitable end.

Just survive.

Stop dying.

Exhausted, I was offered an unprecedented choice: Ethan, or Liam Walker, his best friend.

As consciousness faded, a desperate whisper echoed: "Next time... choose me..."

A dying hallucination?

Or was it Liam?

I chose him.

I became Sarah Miller, armed with five lifetimes of observation, determined to finally break the cycle.

But Liam wasn't the salvation I hoped for.

He was aloof, his actions bafflingly calculated.

My carefully planned "accidental" encounter with CEO Liam ended with a cold dismissal, leaving me shattered.

Was I destined to another death, or could I finally escape this cursed program, and the frustrating game he seems to play?

On the night of my career-defining art exhibition, I stood completely alone. My husband, Dante Sovrano, the most feared man in Chicago, had promised he wouldn’t miss it for the world. Instead, he was on the evening news. He was shielding another woman—his ruthless business partner—from a downpour, letting his own thousand-dollar suit get soaked just to protect her. The headline flashed below them, calling their new alliance a "power move" that would reshape the city. The guests at my gallery immediately began to whisper. Their pitying looks turned my greatest triumph into a public spectacle of humiliation. Then his text arrived, a cold, final confirmation of my place in his life: “Something came up. Isabella needed me. You understand. Business.” For four years, I had been his possession. A quiet, artistic wife kept in a gilded cage on the top floor of his skyscraper. I poured all my loneliness and heartbreak onto my canvases, but he never truly saw my art. He never truly saw me. He just saw another one of his assets. My heart didn't break that night. It turned to ice. He hadn't just neglected me; he had erased me. So the next morning, I walked into his office and handed him a stack of gallery contracts. He barely glanced up, annoyed at the interruption to his empire-building. He snatched the pen and signed on the line I’d marked. He didn’t know the page tucked directly underneath was our divorce decree. He had just signed away his wife like she was nothing more than an invoice for art supplies.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What's worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn't thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn't seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he's different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
