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

“Sorry, can you repeat that again. I didn’t catch it the first time.” 


“You want to do what?” I looked at the woman in front of me—someone I called my sister—the way one would look at a lunatic. 


“I want to replace Valeria as Ria.” 


Okay. So my hearing was perfectly fine. I had heard her correctly. 


The way she put it—so casually, as if it were the most reasonable request—left me utterly befuddled. 


Genuinely puzzled, I blurted out the question before I could stop myself. 


I expected her to get angry at me, undeniably insulting as my question was, but to my surprise, she didn’t. 


‘I guess she also knew how crazy she sounded,’ I mused. 


“You only have to tell me whether you’re willing to help me or not,” she leaned forward, stubborn determination in her eyes. 


My answer was just as resolute, ”I won’t.”
