The Last Bell Contract

One stolen silver heart. One execution bell. And a city that burns to the ground every single night, only to reset with Mara Vance waking up in the same blood-stained alley. Dax Calder is the ruthless Chief Judge sworn to hunt her down, but in a world where every rewind steals a piece of her memory, he is the only anchor she has left. He claims he wants the heart back, but as he locks her soul to his own with a forbidden contract, his grip feels less like an arrest and more like a desperate obsession. Now, as the countdown on her skin nears zero and her memories of her brother fade into nothing, Mara must decide: can she trust the man who has killed her in a dozen different timelines, or is he the very monster who erased their future?
