The Godmother's Obsessed Ward

Isabella was the godmother of Blackstone Shipping. In her first life, she was betrayed by everyone. Her father sold her to a mob boss. Her husband died. She raised his son, Brooks, alone for eight years. Then her lawyer Julian, her family, and her father's second wife drowned her in Lake Erie. She died. She learned the truth: her mother had been murdered. Brooks had killed every enemy and then blown himself up with her body. Then Isabella woke up. She was back one year before her death. Julian was proposing to her. Her enemies were circling. She tore up Julian's offer and walked straight into Brooks's arms. She moved into Blackstone Manor, a fortress, a cage, a weapon. She used his obsession to destroy her enemies. She exposed Julian's affair. She trapped her stepsister. She broke her stepmother. She drove her father insane. And when Julian tried to kill her one last time, Brooks knelt, bled, and fought beside her. She killed Julian herself. She took back the empire. She stayed with Brooks. Not as his mother. As his everything.
