One wrong move and you could hurt someone you love.</p><p>But when she earns a spot in the Tournament of the Unraveling, where competitors battle it out for a chance to rewrite the past, Vesper finally has a shot to reverse the mistakes that have changed her forever.</p><p>She turns to Sam Hardy, a former MMA fighter who's also carrying a tragedy he desperately wants to undo.
