Jim And Claire

« Claire, quand tu étais petite, nous avions arrangé un mariage pour toi. Maintenant que tu vas mieux, accepterais-tu de rentrer à ville J pour te marier ? Si tu ne veux toujours pas, je peux en reparler avec ton père pour annuler ces fiançailles. » Dans la pénombre de sa chambre, Claire n'entendait que le silence. Au moment où sa mère, à l'autre bout du fil, pensait avoir encore une fois échoué à la convaincre, elle a soudainement pris la parole : « J'accepte de rentrer pour me marier. » Delphine est restée stupéfaite au téléphone, visiblement surprise par cette réponse. « Tu... tu es d'accord ? » « Oui, j'accepte », a répondu Claire d'une voix calme. « Mais j'ai besoin d'un peu de temps pour régler mes affaires ici à ville H. Je reviendrai dans quinze jours. Maman, vous pouvez commencer à préparer le mariage. » Après avoir donné quelques instructions supplémentaires, elle a raccroché.

When I learned that Holly Jones had gone to deliver cold medicine to her young assistant, even though she knew I was trapped in the elevator and suffered from claustrophobia, I asked for a divorce. Holly signed without hesitation. Smiling at her best friend, she said, "Jim is just throwing a little tantrum. His parents are gone, so there's no way he'd really divorce me. Besides, there's a thirty-day cooling-off period before it's finalized. If he regrets it, I'll graciously forgive him and take him back." The very next day, she posted a couples' photoshoot with her assistant, captioned: [Capturing your every sexy moment.] I counted the days. Calmly, I packed my belongings and made a phone call. "Uncle, buy me a ticket to Hudson City."

Claire was quiet, brilliant, and invisible—until she uncovered the truth that got her murdered. But death was just a transition. She awakens in the body of Clary, her hidden twin sister, a werewolf noble who had chosen poison over a forced marriage to the most feared man in the realm: Alpha Damon. Once a hero, now a bloodthirsty beast, he is a man who seeks a wife only to satisfy a debt of blood. Traded like cattle by the only family she has ever known, Clary—now inhabited by Claire’s soul is thrust into a world of primal laws and brutal instincts.Clary must play the part of the submissive bride to survive, but the Alpha’s touch awakens more than just desire. It unlocks the suppressed memories of a stolen life and a terrifying, rare power her birth parents tried to bury.

On my twentieth birthday, my parents placed a stack of photos in front of me—eligible bachelors from elite families all over the country—and told me to pick one for an arranged marriage. I told my dad to leave it to fate and draw lots. In my past life, I had chosen without hesitation the man I’d long admired: Lucas Whitmore, the most eligible bachelor of Astor Hill's elites. But after we got married, I found out the truth. His first love—the girl he had always held dear, Claire Monroe—was devastated by our marriage. One night, heartbroken, she went out drinking and was assaulted by a group of thugs. Claire attempted suicide three times after that. And Lucas blamed it all on me. He handed over my family’s fortune to Claire, draining every last cent from the Meyers. In the end, Lucas even helped her cut the brake lines on our car. My parents and I died in that crash. Now that I’d been given a second chance at life, the name I drew was Liam Morgan—the reclusive heir from Orchard Valley, known for shunning the world and dedicating himself to Buddhism. But when I showed up arm-in-arm with Liam at our engagement party, Lucas lost his mind.

On my wedding day, the first love of my boyfriend appeared and declared she wanted my place at the altar. Sobbing theatrically, she pleaded, "Claire, I’m seriously ill.
