Substitute Marriage: Healing My Disabled Husband
“My adoptive family forced me to take my stepsister's place in a PR marriage to Conley Bond, a crippled, disgraced NHL captain. They threatened to dump my dead grandmother's belongings into the harbor if I refused. But they didn't know my grandmother was murdered outside Conley's estate, Kensington Manor, six years ago. The moment I stepped into the manor, I was treated like absolute garbage. The butler tried to break my shoulder, and Conley's family humiliated me at every turn. They even brought in top league doctors and armed federal marshals to arrest me. "She's a country fraud without a medical license! Take her to federal prison!" I stared at the hostile faces around me, my heart turning ice-cold. Why was the water in Kensington Manor so deep? Why was Conley secretly being poisoned by his own trusted cousin to rot in a wheelchair forever? And how did these hidden monsters connect to the ghosts who killed my grandmother? As the marshals swung the cold steel handcuffs toward my wrists, Conley suddenly grabbed my hand, his previously paralyzed legs twitching with life. I smiled behind my thick glasses. It was time for me, top international neurosurgeon and underground operative "Frost", to cure the captain and drag every killer out into the fire.”
