She was never supposed to wear the veil. Marren Ashcombe has spent her whole life in the shadow of her twin sister — the pretty one, the chosen one, the one whose name was written into the treaty that would end a generation of war between three packs. Marren was the spare. The furniture. The girl nobody looked at twice. Until the morning her sister runs, and Marren is the only body left to fill the wedding dress. She expects humiliation. She expects to be discarded the moment the ink dries and the alliance is secure. What she doesn't expect is Alpha Kaelen Voss — the man the packlands call the Cold Alpha, a war-alpha who has never once shown mercy on a battlefield — realizing under the wedding veil that he married the wrong twin, and saying nothing at all. What Marren doesn't know is that she was never the wrong bride. She was the only one the enemy — and Kaelen's own family — ever actually wanted. The Wrong Bride is a 350,000-word slow-burn shifter romance of forced marriage, buried bloodlines, and a woman who stops apologizing for taking up space.
