The Replacement Bride

Mira Reid coordinates weddings for a living. She's never been the bride. When a billionaire's fiancée walks out three hours before a 400-person ceremony, Mira gets an offer she can't refuse: $50,000 to wear the dress and say the name. One weekend. Then she walks away. Soren Graves built an empire on structure and control. His marriage to Odette Sinclair was the capstone of a nine-figure merger — until she sent a six-word text and disappeared. Now he's watching a stranger walk down his aisle, and she's better at being his wife than the woman who was supposed to be. When a clause buried in the merger contract forces them into thirty days together, the arrangement becomes something neither of them planned for. She moves into his West Village brownstone. Guest bedroom. Separate lives. Except she makes sweet tea in his kitchen and reads his family better than he ever could, and he stocks her favorite tea before she tells him she likes it and draws magnolia trees he can't explain. Then the real bride comes back. With leverage. A story about the woman who wore someone else's dress and refused to stay in someone else's life.
