THE PROXY BRIDE: His bride. Her Secret.
He wanted a blonde. He got a wildfire.
I married him in her place.
Wore her dress. Lightened my hair.
Played the silent, obedient bride.
Because when your stepmother sells your sister to a billionaire obsessed with legacy and looks—and your sister runs—someone has to take the deal.
So I did.
Cassian Drevane doesn’t want a wife.
He wants a symbol. A blonde. A mannequin.
Not a woman with secrets, a spine, and a mind that won’t stay quiet.
But I wasn’t just playing the part.
I was studying him.
And the more he tried to control me, the more I saw the truth beneath his ice.
He never wanted me.
Neither did I love him.
Now we can’t live without each other.
Not because of love,
but because of something deadlier.
In a world where secrets are currency and love is a luxury no one can afford, one lie can destroy everything.
What began as a marriage built on deceit slowly turns into something dangerously real — a slow-burning war between duty and desire.
In a house filled with whispers, shadows, and betrayals, love becomes the most dangerous secret of all.
