The Returned Villainess Vows to Stay Single

Lydia Evanzi's first life came to a tragic end, and she knows exactly who to blame: her catastrophically poor judgment in men. Granted a second chance at life, she makes an unbreakable vow—romance will never darken her door again, no matter what. To honor that promise, Lydia chooses the chaste path of a priestess, cloaking herself in an image of holy devotion. Yet beneath the sacred robes lies a far more worldly purpose: the priesthood is merely a convenient facade for her true mission, a carefully plotted campaign of revenge against everyone who wronged her in her previous life. Her meticulously laid plans, however, are soon complicated by the arrival of Arsen Edith. Far from being the hindrance she expects, Arsen proves to be an unexpectedly capable ally—a man who may turn out to be a far better partner than Lydia ever dared to hope for.
