This is book 2 of I OPENED A BAKERY INSTEAD OF STARTING A WAR
Audreylia Croix was betrayed, tortured, and left to die by the very family she once longed to call her own. Given a second chance at life, she vows to become the villainess everyone fears and destroy the Croix bloodline once and for all.
Meanwhile, Princess Aurora Auremont-Valecrest, daughter of Aurelia's two reigning empresses, has chosen to live away from the imperial palace to pursue her passion for medicine, seeking a life beyond the expectations of royalty.
Their paths cross when Aurora discovers Audreylia on the brink of death and takes her in, unaware that the woman she saves has returned from a tragic future.
As months pass, affection blossoms between the healer and the woman determined to embrace her villainous fate. But when Aurora learns the truth about Audreylia's past and her plans for revenge, she faces a choice: remain a physician away from the court or step into the world of imperial politics to help the woman she loves.
One seeks revenge. The other never wanted power.
But for love, even a princess may become a force the empire cannot ignore.
This time, Audreylia will not die-and Aurora will stand beside her, whatever the cost.
