I Died the Night He Married Her

Death was supposed to be my ending—but the night Eli married someone else, my story truly began. As Autumn Jennings, I was never meant to be the heroine—just the shadow, loving from the sidelines, destined to die in a blaze for someone else’s happy ending. But when fate rewrites the script, I’m thrust back into a world of tangled family loyalties, forbidden longing, and a love that won’t stay buried. As the Midwest’s first female commander, I gave everything for the man I could never have—until a single bullet, a lost memory, and a chance encounter years later threaten to unravel destiny itself. If I can’t break free from the story written for me, will I lose Eli forever? Or is some loves strong enough to defy fate—even if it costs us everything?
