“To love and to cherish,” — To make my sister's killer pay.” This was Salsa’s vow. The accident should have killed them both. Instead, twisted metal and shattered glass claimed only Samantha, Salsa's twin, and landed Salsa in the ICU. The private investigator hired by Malcolm reveals it wasn't an accident. Someone wanted the twins dead. Someone from the Alexander family—the very bloodline bound to theirs by generations of tradition, where first daughters of Malcolm marry first sons of Alexander. With Samantha gone, the duty falls to Salsa. Her father's demand is simple: Be the substitute bride. Marry Damien Alexander. She agrees, but not for tradition. Not for family. For vengeance. What she doesn't expect is the way Damien Alexander looks at her, not with the resigned duty of an arranged groom, but with a hunger that seems to reach into her very soul. A man she came to destroy, who speaks her name like a prayer he's whispered for years. He wanted her. Always her. Never Samantha. But as Salsa plays the perfect bride while hunting a killer, the truth begins to unravel like a thread pulled from a blood-soaked tapestry. Each clue she follows leads not toward the Alexander family, but back through her own doors, down her own halls, to her own blood. And in the shadows of her investigation, a darker truth emerges: Samantha wasn't just a victim. She was playing a game with stakes higher than anyone knew. The question isn't just who killed her—it's what she discovered that was worth dying for.
