SUBSTITUTE BRIDE  - undefined novels & stories
Jane writes
Elena Brooks never expected to become a substitute bride. When her beautiful half-sister Vanessa flees the arranged marriage to Damian Sterling—the cold, wheelchair-bound heir of a powerful empire—Elena is forced to take her place. The contract is simple and ruthless: one year of marriage, public perfection, and the immediate production of an heir. In exchange, her family’s crushing debts will be erased and her sister’s medical care will be secured. Damian Sterling is not the broken man the world believes him to be. Controlled, commanding, and haunted by the assassination attempt that left him paralyzed, he accepts the marriage as a strategic necessity. A wife makes him harder to kill. An heir makes him untouchable. Feelings were never part of the agreement. From the wedding night, the contract turns physical. What begins as obligation becomes something far more dangerous—possession, hunger, and a growing attachment neither of them can afford. But while Elena learns the weight of Damian’s silence and the heat of his carefully guarded desire, enemies move in the shadows. Someone still wants the Sterling heir removed. And the closer Elena gets to Damian’s heart, the more she becomes a target herself. As secrets about the accident, residual sensation Damian has hidden, and the true motives of his controlling father begin to surface, Elena must decide how much of herself she is willing to give—and whether love can survive a marriage built on lies, duty, and the demand for an heir. In a world where power is currency and vulnerability is a weapon, one year may not be long enough… or it may be long enough to ruin them both.

Siyah Mcluxe
I walked in on my own birthday cake and my sister in my fiancé's bed. Same night, same house, same face as mine — because Noel and I are twins, and she's spent her whole life proving she can take anything that's ever been mine. He hit me for calling her a liar. She smiled when he did it. So I did the one thing neither of them saw coming. I got in my car. I found the nearest bar. I kissed a stranger like he could erase three years in one night. I didn't ask his name. Didn't need it — until it was on every headline in the country the next morning, and I was the scandal standing next to it. Ace Stone doesn't marry for love. He marries because his grandfather's will gave him ninety days and no room to lose his empire to a boardroom full of vultures. I don't marry for money. I marry because my mother's heart won't survive the paperwork it takes to say no. Twenty million dollars. A ring that isn't mine. One rule: don't feel anything real. We were supposed to be better liars than this. Because somewhere between the cameras and the countdown and the ex-fiancé who thinks I'm still his to reclaim, Ace Stone stopped performing. He pulled me off a dark street with his hands shaking harder than mine. He told a nurse I was family. He didn't sound like he was lying. My sister isn't finished with me. She never is. But I've spent my whole life being the "before" to someone else's "after" — too much space, not enough silence, never quite what anyone ordered. I'm done being edited down to fit. He married a scandal. He has no idea what she's about to become.
