Forced into marriage as a substitute for her twin sister, Valeria Hale finds herself bound to a man feared by all—Mr. Devil.

Rumors of his cruelty and ruthless nature paint a terrifying picture, and she braces herself for the worst. 

But her mystery husband never shows himself.

Instead, she is drawn to his devastatingly handsome assistant, Zane Michaels—a man who embodies everything she has ever desired. 

She knows she shouldn’t want him. She knows she shouldn’t crave his touch.

Yet, she does.

Torn between forbidden attraction and the looming wrath of the husband she has never seen, Valeria fights to suppress her feelings. But her world shatters when she discovers the truth—Zane and Mr. Devil are the same man.

She had fallen for the devil himself without even knowing it.

Now, faced with his deception and the secrets surrounding their marriage and her birth, Valeria must decide—was she merely a pawn in his grander scheme, or was their love the most dangerous game of all?

Mr Devilish's Substitute Bride

As the warm water hit my skin and ran down my body, a subconscious sigh of comfort escaped my lips. 


After pulling an all-nighter for three days straight and finally closing a headache-inducing business deal in the early hours of the morning, I was beyond exhausted. 


All I wanted after getting out of the shower was a good sleep before my flight back home. 


But I had barely taken a step out when I heard a knock followed by my secretary, Vivian’s voice. 


“Come in," I said lazily after a brief pause, fastening my robe more securely in the process. Vivian might be married, middle-aged, and have been around me for a couple of years, but I still wasn't comfortable showing her too much of my skin. 


“Is there a problem?” I asked as she entered, for I had made it quite clear that I was not to be disturbed until it was time for my flight. 


“I apologize for intruding, but there’s a situation online that I think you ought to see.”
