His Substitute BrideUpdated at Aug 18, 2026, 05:34
The morning of the wedding, my sister ran. She left a note on the pillow, a wedding dress in the bridal suite, and my family with a contract that had to be honored. So I put on her dress, walked down the aisle, and said "I do" to a man I'd met twice.
Damian Black knew I wasn't her. He said my name at the altar — "Hello, Sofia" — like he'd been waiting for me. But that night, alone, he called me by her name. Now I live in his house, under his rules, with his secrets — and a painting in his study of a necklace I designed and never saw made.
My sister said don't believe a word he says. But the more I dig, the more I find she was hiding something too. Someone threatened her to run. Someone wants me gone. And Damian Black knows more about my designs, my family, and my sister than he'll ever admit.
A dark romance about a substitute bride, a husband with too many secrets, and the twin sister who ran. Marriage of convenience, mystery, betrayal, and a slow-burn love that has to survive the truth.
