From Substitute to Desired

Evelyn Carter was once naive, believing her silent devotion could make Adrian Sinclair love her. For three years, she endured being the substitute wife while he cherished another woman. But on the night she lost their child and called for him, he chose to board a plane with Isabella Sterling instead.



That night, Evelyn disappeared.



Two years later, she returns, transformed into the woman everyone desires—but completely untouchable. Adrian is stunned by the change. The once-submissive wife now stands as a force of power, attracting the admiration of men like Damien Westwood and even his rival, Victor Alden. But Adrian soon learns the shocking truth—Evelyn had been pregnant when she left, and he has a son.



Determined to make amends, Adrian fights to win her back. But Evelyn isn’t interested in his regrets. She has new allies, new strength, and no intention of ever falling for him again.



Yet, when their son is taken, when old enemies resurface, and when Evelyn’s past reveals hidden secrets, she faces a decision—trust Adrian again or risk losing everything.



With revenge, redemption, and love at war, can Adrian prove he’s the man Evelyn deserves? Or is he too late?
