He Saved Her First and Let Me Drown

Rosalind Ashcombe gave a careless man eight years of her heart, and it cost her everything. Switched at birth and only reclaimed by her wealthy family at sixteen, she was married off to the brilliant surgeon Adrian Whitlock to settle an old debt — while his real devotion always belonged to Celeste, the girl raised as her sister. When both women are kidnapped, Adrian races to save Celeste's minor cut and leaves his bleeding, pregnant wife on the riverbank to drown. Now Rosalind is dead, and her soul cannot move on. Bound to the husband who never loved her, she watches him discover, far too late, the truth of what he threw away: the pregnancy report on the table, the diary of her quiet devotion, the plain silver bracelet that snaps in the morgue. And she watches the police uncover the one secret that undoes them all — that gentle, weeping Celeste orchestrated the whole thing. A tragic, slow-burn revenge told entirely from beyond the grave, about a woman who finally stops waiting to be loved. Adrian's regret comes in a flood; hers is a single cold vow — in the next life, never again a fool for a man who does not treat her right.
