“Title: The Twin's Ruin The devil I married wears my husband's face. But the monster in my bed has a different name. Seraphina Vance was once the shining star of high society. Now, she is a bird trapped in a golden cage, forced into a loveless marriage with Adrian Blackwood-a cold, cruel billionaire who uses her like a toy and locks her away behind closed doors. But Sera isn't just a helpless victim. She is a viper waiting in the grass, playing the dutiful wife to uncover the evidence that will destroy Adrian and avenge her ruined family. She expects a loveless, suffocating marriage. She doesn't expect the blackout. She doesn't expect a man to slip into her bed in the dead of night. The hands that touch her are impossibly gentle. The voice that whispers in the dark is achingly tender. But when his lips trace her skin, Sera feels a jagged scar on his collarbone. A scar her husband doesn't have. It's Julian. Adrian's identical twin brother. The rival. The enemy. The shadow. Instead of screaming, Sera plays along. She lets Julian believe she doesn't know the truth, intending to use his dark, suffocating obsession to steal his secrets and destroy them both. But Julian is not a fool. He knows exactly who he is holding. He doesn't just want her body. He wants her soul. He wants to replace his brother piece by piece, and he will stop at nothing until the woman who belongs to Adrian is screaming his name in the dark. But when Adrian returns early, the game turns deadly. Now, Sera is trapped between two identical faces. One wants to break her. The other wants to worship her. In a house full of secrets and lies, who will survive when the brothers go to war? And when the mask slips, will Sera escape the monsters... or will she fall in love with the cage? WARNING: This is a dark, psychological romance filled with identity deception, obsessive love, forbidden desires, and a heroine who fights back. Read at your own risk.”
