A Marriage of Illusion

Marriage of Illusion
by Dulce M
After a painful divorce leaves her with nothing but thirty dollars and a shattered heart, Isabella believes life has given up on her. Homeless, struggling with depression, and haunted by the betrayal of the man she once trusted, she sees no future ahead of her.
Everything changes when she stumbles across a newspaper advertisement seeking a woman willing to become a stepmother to two young boys. Desperate for a fresh start, she agrees-never imagining that the mysterious widowed father is actually a prince living behind the gates of a grand estate.
Within hours, she finds herself trapped in a marriage built not on love, but on necessity.
To the world, they are the perfect family.
But behind the palace walls, their marriage is only an illusion.
As Dove forms an unexpected bond with the prince's sons, she slowly begins to heal from the wounds she thought would never fade. The laughter of one little boys, the kindness she never expected, and the possibility of being loved for who she truly is force her to confront a question she has been too afraid to ask:
Can a heart broken by betrayal learn to trust again?
In a world of secrets, duty, and appearances, Isabella must decide whether this marriage of convenience will remain a beautiful illusion... or become the home and family she has always longed for
