Her sister was the bride. She became the wife.
Hours before the wedding of the year, Vivian Ashford disappears - leaving her family on the verge of ruin.
To save them, Selene Ashford is forced to marry billionaire CEO Luke Kingsley in her sister's place.
The entire world believes she is the bride.
Luke knows she is not.
But he says "I do" anyway.
And when the priest pronounces them husband and wife - Luke leans close and whispers four words against her ear that make her blood run cold.
"This is a sentence."
Now trapped in a marriage built on lies, Selene must survive a husband who never wanted her, a family that used her, and a truth powerful enough to destroy them all.
Yet the more she tries to keep her distance, the more dangerous Luke becomes - not because he hates her.
Because he is starting to want her.
And Luke Kingsley has never been a man who lets go of what belongs to him.
A runaway bride. A substitute wife.
A marriage born from betrayal.
A love neither of them saw coming.
Sometimes the greatest love story begins with the wrong bride walking down the aisle. 🖤
