You're not the woman I agreed to marry." Lena Montgomery never expected to wear a wedding dress meant for her beautiful sister Clara. She certainly never imagined walking down the aisle to marry Grayson Hawthorne the billionaire heir she's loved in silence for three years. When Clara runs away hours before the wedding, Lena faces an impossible choice: substitute as the bride and save her dying mother's medical care, or refuse and watch her family crumble. She says "I do" in her sister's couture gown, and Grayson's eyes burn with betrayal the moment he lifts the veil. Their marriage is a battlefield. Separate bedrooms. Icy silences. A contract that binds them for two years. He thinks she's a opportunistic replacement, just another Montgomery woman after his fortune. She's drowning in guilt, knowing her secret feelings make everything worse. But Lena isn't Clara. She speaks seven languages and saves his failing international deals. She brings laughter back to his ill grandmother's eyes. She sees past his cold exterior to the lonely man beneath the empire. And Grayson is starting to notice that the "plain" sister is anything but ordinary. Now he's falling for the wife he never wanted. And Lena is terrified because when he discovers she's been in love with him since the day they met, will he see it as fate or the ultimate betrayal? In a marriage built on deception, can truth lead to love.
