I was three months pregnant when my Austin penthouse became my tomb. My boyfriend, Liam, pushed me from the balcony, a fall swift and final. My death was staged as a tragic suicide, a lie the news readily swallowed. They didn't know the real reason: Daisy, a coyote pup I'd rescued, could shift into a beautiful woman. Liam couldn't let that secret out, and now I watched my killers, my spirit haunting the home I' d paid for. He pulled Daisy into his arms, sharing a passionate kiss right where my lifeless body had fallen. "She's gone," Liam whispered, "It's all ours now." They slandered my name, seized my family' s oil fortune, and buried me in a cheap wooden box. Then, on my family ranch, over my desecrated grave, Liam confessed: "I only dated her to give you this life, Daisy. Chloe owed you this." I burned with a rage so consuming, it felt like my very soul was on fire. And then, I woke up, back in my Range Rover, the Texas storm roaring outside, faced with Daisy once more.

Introduction

I was three months pregnant when my Austin penthouse became my tomb.

My boyfriend, Liam, pushed me from the balcony, a fall swift and final.

My death was staged as a tragic suicide, a lie the news readily swallowed.

They didn't know the real reason: Daisy, a coyote pup I'd rescued, could shift into a beautiful woman.

Liam couldn't let that secret out, and now I watched my killers, my spirit haunting the home I' d paid for.

He pulled Daisy into his arms, sharing a passionate kiss right where my lifeless body had fallen.

"She's gone," Liam whispered, "It's all ours now."

They slandered my name, seized my family' s oil fortune, and buried me in a cheap wooden box.

Then, on my family ranch, over my desecrated grave, Liam confessed: "I only dated her to give you this life, Daisy. Chloe owed you this."

I burned with a rage so consuming, it felt like my very soul was on fire.

And then, I woke up, back in my Range Rover, the Texas storm roaring outside, faced with Daisy once more.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
