TRAPPED IN MY ENEMY'S BED

Stephy Hart Romance

“Chloe has spent months hunting the man she believes responsible for the hit-and-run that ruined her mother's life. Her only goal is justice-until a case of mistaken identity turns her life upside down. Taken in place of a runaway bride who looks exactly like her, Chloe is dragged to the home of the groom. Then she sees his face and realizes the horrifying truth: he is the dangerous man she has been hunting. No matter how desperately she explains that she is not his wife, he refuses to believe her. To him, she is his wife and whatever game she thinks she is playing will not change that. Now trapped in his mansion and forced to live as his wife, Chloe is cut off from her sick mother and surrounded by people who believe she is someone else. But she refuses to surrender. With a sharp tongue, stubborn courage, and a growing determination to escape, she begins searching for answers. Who is the woman who looks exactly like her? What really happened the night her mother was injured? And why does every answer lead to another secret? As Chloe digs deeper, the walls between her and the billionaire begin to crack. Their hostility gives way to an unexpected, dangerous attraction neither can explain. Yet Chloe still cannot trust him-and she has no idea that the truth about the accident may be far more complicated than she ever imagined. She is determined to escape and finish what she started. He is determined not to let her go.”
