In a world ruled by power, blood, and unbreakable alliances, Alexander King Costello, the ruthless Italian Mafia don known as the Ice King was promised a bride to seal a vital empire building deal. But on the day of the arranged meeting, the chosen daughter, Emily Havard, vanishes without a trace. Desperate to save their family from Alexander’s wrath, the Havards offer the only thing they have left: their hidden, unwanted son Aiden. A quiet, overlooked young man who has spent his life in the shadows of his own home, Aiden is thrust into a nightmare. Forced into a marriage he never asked for, he becomes nothing more than a temporary replacement. “You are just the replacement till we find her. Know your place,” his mother hisses. His father’s words cut even deeper: “We are doing you a fucking favor.” To Alexander, the swap is an insult. “What do you mean my bride is gone?” he growls, his cold blue eyes promising retribution. Yet as the reluctant union begins, the dangerous don finds himself inexplicably drawn to the soft spoken man who fears him… and somehow sees him. What started as a mistake, a forced marriage built on lies and desperation slowly turns into something neither of them expected. In the dangerous underworld of power and betrayal, falling for each other might be the most dangerous risk of all. "The marriage was a mistake." "But falling for you wasn’t."

He wanted a replacement. I was the original. For three years, I was Evie, a woman with no past, saved from a tragic accident by the devastatingly powerful Nathaniel Blackwood. He gave me a name, a home, and a purpose as his contract lover. I thought it was love. The night he proposed in a shower of gardenias, I believed my fairy tale had come true. Until she walked back into his life. Serena Sterling. His missing first love. The woman whose face is my mirror image. In a single moment, my world shatters.
