Her sister's fiance was said to be dead in an accident, but her parents won't give up on this marriage for their own benefits. Of course, they won't sacrifice her sister - she's always the favored daughter. But as for her, well, they never cared for her. That's how she became a substitute bride for her sister, marrying a dead person. Until she finds out... he wasn't dead at all!

She died with nothing — only to wake in a world where having everything could still cost her life Anna never asked for much.

On the day of her wedding, Ivy Quinn vanishes, leaving behind only a note: "I’m sorry, I can't marry a blind man." To protect her son from heartbreak, Elizabeth Winters strikes a desperate deal—Ruby, Ivy’s identical twin, must take her sister’s place at the altar. Trapped by duty and family pressure, Ruby agrees, believing it will only last until Stefan’s eyesight is restored. But from the moment they marry, Stefan senses something is different about his "wife." The woman beside him is nothing like the shallow fiancée he once knew. She’s sharp, resilient, and understands his business in a way Ivy never did. Against all odds, he falls harder than ever for this new version of her. And Ruby? She never expected to fall in love with a man who was never meant to be hers. But just when she finds the courage to tell him the truth, Ivy returns, ready to reclaim the life she abandoned. When Stefan finally opens his eyes, will he see the woman who truly stood by him—or will he be too blind to recognize real love? ****Excerpt**** “By the way, did Ruby come to the wedding?” he asked, catching her off guard since she hadn't expected him to ask her that all of a sudden. Was he already suspecting that it was her and not Ivy? Ruby’s fingers froze on the door handle for just a fraction of a second. It was enough to set off alarms in Stefan's head. “I—uh…” She hesitated, but only briefly. “No. She had work. She couldn’t make it.” Was he suspecting a switch already? What must have set off the alarm in his head? Stefan hummed, tilting his head slightly. “Oh, I see. How is she, then? I hope she's coming to visit one of these days?” Her fingers tightened on the handle, though her voice remained steady. “Yeah. She would, the moment she is chanced and can come.” A slow smirk tugged at the corner of Stefan’s lips, though he kept his expression neutral. Interesting. Very interesting. His wife had just lied to him and he didn't know why. Even though he was blind, he'd find out why soon enough.

Some want her company, some want her gone, and some even want her hand in marriage—because marrying her means marrying power itself. When the pressure reaches its breaking point, Katherine makes a choice no one expects. On a quiet seaside vacation, she meets a man who seems ordinary—charming, calm, and uninterested in her status. On impulse, she offers him a marriage contract with clear terms. No affection. No expectations. Divorce in three years. Stability in return. He signs without hesitation. To the world, Alessandro becomes the perfect husband, silencing her critics with a single look. In private, he remains distant, never chasing her, never asking for more. She tells herself it is a simple arrangement. Yet every small action of his begins to unsettle her carefully guarded heart. But Katherine does not know who she truly married. Rivals vanish, enemies fall, and whispers follow him wherever he goes. The man she thought was a convenient pawn is far more than he appears. And when his true identity comes to light, she realizes she has bound herself not to an ally, but to a hidden emperor whose power eclipses her own. Their marriage was meant to be a shield. Instead, it becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.

Stripped of her name, inheritance, and freedom by her uncle—Lord Alexander—she was treated like property and promised to a Count four times her age. Desperate to escape, she fled into the cold night… and straight into blood. A stranger. Wounded. Beautiful. Terrifying. She should’ve left him. But she didn’t.

But fate packed its bags and vanished. Because the moment she met him- Her world cracked like a ribcage, And something feral crawled out. She doesn't know his name. Doesn't know where he came from. Only that when their eyes met across the wreckage- She lost her breath. Her grip. Her goddamn mind. He isn't someone you crush on. He's the kind you survive. He doesn't flirt. He doesn't smile. He doesn't chase. But when he looks at you- You run. Or you fall. There's no in-between. And she? She fell. Hard. Fast. Wrong. Because this isn't romance. It's war. A war between peace and the storm that wears a man's face. Where secrets are bullets, the battlefield is a bed, And the only rule is: Don't ask what he's hiding. But secrets don't stay buried- Not when they whisper your name like sin. Not when they leave bruises and paint your soul in portraits you don't remember posing for. She thinks she's smart. She thinks she knows danger. But the truth? Danger saw her first. Years ago. And it never looked away. --- > "You shouldn't fall in love with strangers."
