The Substitute

Description： Sophie Harlan has spent ten years running from guilt — and from Ethan, the man she loved and destroyed with a lie she told to protect him from the truth.

Then she meets Ryan: younger, charming, dangerously like the one she lost. She tells herself it's nothing serious. He only wants money, and she has plenty of that.

But Ryan is patient. Careful. And something between them becomes real before she can stop it.

When the truth unravels — not just about Ryan, but about who he really is — Sophie realizes that the past she's been running from has been quietly, obsessively running after her.

The Substitute is a slow-burn, emotionally devastating story about guilt, second chances, and the terrifying lengths to which love — and obsession — will go.

*Some people are both the dream and the nightmare.*
