I was never supposed to become his wife. I was supposed to wear another woman's name for thirty days, marry Adrian Sterling, and walk away with enough money to save my family. That was the deal. No feelings. No attachments. No mistakes. But Adrian Sterling was nothing like the cold, ruthless man I had heard about. He saw through my defenses. He made me laugh when I had forgotten how. And somewhere between our arguments, stolen glances, and sleepless nights, the marriage that began as a lie started feeling dangerously real. Then he told me he loved me. And I almost told him the truth. Almost. Because the woman whose identity I had stolen suddenly returned. Victoria Laurent was alive. And she wanted her life back. When Adrian discovered that the woman he had married wasn't the woman he thought she was, the love in his eyes turned into something far more painful. Betrayal. But that wasn't the worst of it. The deeper I dug into the secrets surrounding Victoria's disappearance, the more I realized my fake marriage wasn't an isolated lie. My father's mysterious death, Adrian's mother's forgotten tragedy, and the war between our families were all connected. Someone had been hiding the truth for years. And now that Adrian and I had uncovered it, they would do anything to keep us silent. I entered Adrian Sterling's world pretending to be another woman. I never expected to fall in love with him. I never expected him to fall in love with me. And I certainly never expected the truth to make us enemies. Because when the man who loves you discovers that your entire marriage was built on a lie, can love survive the truth? Or will the woman he married become the woman he hates most?
