The Price of a False Hero

From the back cover

Ethan Miller possessed a secret gift: blood that could heal any wound, reverse any sickness.

In a past life, he used it to save Bree Vanderbilt, a beautiful socialite paralyzed from the waist down.

The Vanderbilts had promised him immense wealth and marriage, but Bree, fixated on her "hero" boyfriend, Chad Kensington, turned her back on Ethan once healed.

When Chad supposedly died searching for a cure, Bree, consumed by twisted grief, forced Ethan to try and revive him, draining him relentlessly.

Ethan died right there, exhausted from the futile attempt, unmourned by Bree, who only had eyes for her lost Chad.

It was only after his death that the bitter truth emerged: Chad wasn't a hero or a martyr; he was a cheat, murdered by a jealous husband.

Ethan had died for nothing, for a woman who mourned a liar and a scoundrel.

The betrayal, the pain, the utterly pointless sacrifice-every agonizing detail burned into his soul.

Then, with a gasping breath, he woke up, the sterile scent of his family' s hidden clinic sharp in his nostrils.

It was the exact day Eleanor Vanderbilt was scheduled to bring her paralyzed daughter, Bree, for his assessment.

This time, things would be different.
