A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

She's already married to Silas. Her life should be pretty sweet right about now, but apparently that's not enough for her. Now she wants everything the Jewell family has.

Lisette sat at the dining table, her expression frosty as she mulled it all over.

Dinner was a little awkward, to say the least. Her two older brothers kept piling mashed potatoes and roast chicken onto Calliope's plate, while Zelda, their mom, fussed over Lisette and made sure she had plenty of green beans and mac and cheese. There was this weird undercurrent, like a storm was brewing just beneath the surface, but overall, dinner passed without too much drama.

"Yeah," Horatio said, giving her a sheepish look. "Sorry, Lisette. I really am."

"I slept in there for years," Calliope said, her voice cool and even. "No one ever apologized to me. If I could handle it, why can't she?"

Horatio immediately turned to Calliope, looking flustered. "Callie, I'm sorry!"

Calliope just stared at him, deadpan.
