Sophie Langston

My sister died saving me. I married her billionaire fiancé as my penance.
Now, I am his living doll — dressed in her clothes, echoing her voice, punished for every flaw in my imitation.

Then he found a new doll. One who looks more like her than I ever could.

They say I’m going mad. Maybe they’re right. Because if I have to shatter to escape this gilded hell… I’ll make sure he watches me break.

My sister died saving me, her final breath a curse: “Marry Calvin.”
Now, I wear her wedding gown, live in her shadow, and bear the wrath of her grieving billionaire fiancé. To him, I am not a wife, but the murderer of his true love—a living reminder to be punished. Every touch is vengeance, every luxury a gilded cage.
I endure the allergic reactions to her favorite foods, the public humiliations, and the cold bed that should have been hers. I survive, because this hell is my penance.
But when his cruelty pushes me to the edge of death, a secret threatens to unravel… and the hunter might just become the prey.

I married the man who hates me most—Lucien, the mafia don who blames me for his beloved’s death. My sister’s dying wish bound me to him, a life sentence of atonement. For five years, I’ve endured his cruelty, his contempt, and the whispers of a city that calls me a murderer.

He punishes me in the dark, calls me by her name, and keeps me close only to watch me break. But in this gilded cage of suffering, a dangerous truth is unraveling. Someone else wants me dead, and the past is not what it seems.

How far will his hatred go to keep me alive—when my only crime was surviving?
