Sophie Langston

I married my dead sister's fiancé to atone for my guilt. Now, I'm just her replacement — punished, humiliated, and forced to wear her smile. He brought home a woman who looks more like her than I ever could. He says I'm the hollow copy, yet his obsession is driving me to the edge of sanity. What happens when the shadow he created finally breaks? And what if my madness is the one thing he can't control?

My sister died saving me, her last wish binding me to the man who hates me most: her billionaire fiancé, Calvin. Now, I wear her wedding gown, live in her shadow, and bear his cruel vengeance. He calls it marriage. I call it my living hell. Every touch is punishment, every glance filled with loathing for the woman who stole his true love's life. But in this unholy vow of atonement, as my body and spirit break… whose heart will shatter first?

My sister died saving me. My punishment is to replace her.

Bound in a vengeful union to the Don who loved her, I live as her hollow reflection. He denies me the mercy of death, forcing me to wear her life as my penance.

In society's eyes, I am his tragic bride. Behind closed doors, I am the whipping post for his grief. This gilded cage of remorse has one name: The Punished Replacement Bride.
