Her Second Life, His Last

My sister Eleanor was set to marry Marcus Thorne, a powerful man whose family held immense sway.

It was a pre-arranged union, heralded as the cornerstone of a grand alliance between the Harrisons and the Thornes.

Before I could expose his monstrous secret, a killer's hands clasped my throat.

The suffocating scent of expensive oud cologne filled my lungs as my vision faded.
