Description： She married the wrong man on purpose.

Mia Hawthorne has a secret. Her cold, volatile husband Marcus Cole married her because she resembled his first love. Everyone in their world knows it. What no one knows is that Mia chose Marcus for the same reason — because in certain light, without her glasses, he looks enough like James, the man she lost, to make the days survivable.

A marriage of mutual substitution. A grief so deep it rewrites a person's entire life.

When Marcus begins to fall genuinely in love — and Mia begins, against all her intentions, to feel something real — the question becomes whether either of them can step fully out of the past. And what it costs when you try.

*His Substitute Bride* is a devastating, beautifully crafted novel about the long shadow of loss, and the people who stay anyway.
