MARRIED TO HER EX'S FIANCE STEPBROTHER
“Twenty-four hours before her dream wedding, Ivy Carter receives an anonymous video that destroys everything she believed about the man she loved. The man she was about to marry, Ethan Jake, was never in love with her. He only wanted her family's wealth, influence, and power while secretly betraying her with another woman. Humiliated and heartbroken, Ivy believes her future is over. Until Anthony Jake-the cold, mysterious billionaire and Ethan's stepbrother-offers her an unexpected solution. Marry him instead. A one-year contract. Separate rooms. No love. No expectations. A marriage created to save her reputation and destroy Ethan's plans. But living under the same roof with Anthony becomes more complicated than Ivy expected. Because beneath his cold exterior is a man who protects her, understands her pain, and quietly gives her the love she never received. Yet Anthony is hiding something. Family secrets begin to surface. Someone is determined to destroy them. And Ivy starts questioning everything. The greatest betrayal was not only Ethan's lie... It was the truth behind why Anthony chose her.”
