Twice a Bride

Monica Reed, a determined woman from Chicago, dreamed of a better life for herself and her family. When she met Brandon Carter, the charming heir to a powerful Atlanta political family, she thought she'd found her escape. But life as Mrs. Brandon Carter was far from the fairytale she envisioned. Brandon's family rejected her, and he became emotionally neglectful and abusive. Monica was falsely accused of cheating, humiliated, and kicked out, pregnant and alone. Returning to Chicago, Monica rebuilt her life, secretly raising her daughter, Leila, while working multiple jobs and earning a degree. She reinvented herself as Morgan Chase, a successful CEO of a multi-billion-dollar empire. A decade later, Morgan has the power and resources to take down the Carter family and is determined to destroy their legacy. When Brandon, now divorced and struggling, meets Morgan, he's captivated by her success, unaware she is the woman he abandoned. He tries to win her back, but Morgan seeks more than revenge-she wants to break him and his family. Now in control, Morgan must decide if revenge is enough, or if she wants to destroy everything Brandon and his family hold dear.

Elena Carter has always believed in hard work, not love. After her parents died when she was young, Elena and her younger brother were taken in by her aunt, but life in the cramped household was far from easy. Tension simmered in every corner, and family disputes made it clear they were never fully accepted. Now, with her grandmother's flower shop falling into debt and her brother's mounting medical bills, Elena finds herself with no choice but to sign a contract that offers her the only lifeline she can grasp. The deal is simple: marry Damien Sinclair, a seemingly ordinary businessman, for one year. No emotions, no love-just a transaction that will give her the financial freedom she desperately needs. But Elena's fears about marriage run deep. Her best friend, who was forced into an arranged marriage, has shared painful stories of how her husband's cruelty has scarred her, leaving Elena terrified of repeating the same fate. When Elena says yes to the arrangement, she dreams of marrying a man who will be her partner, someone who can protect her and help her escape the weight of her responsibilities. But when she meets Damien, nothing feels as simple as it seems. He is cold, distant, and utterly mysterious. His indifference behind closed doors contrasts sharply with the burning intensity of his gaze in public. There's something about him that draws her in, though she can't place it. He's not the man he appears to be-there are layers to him she can't quite figure out, and whispers of power follow him wherever he goes. It's only when a careless slip of the tongue at a gala shatters Elena's world that the truth comes crashing down-Damien Sinclair isn't just wealthy. He's one of the most powerful men in the country. Stunned and heartbroken, Elena feels betrayed. She's been living a lie, used as a pawn in a game she never agreed to play. As much as she wants to hate him, she can't ignore the way his touch lingers on her skin or how deeply she feels his absence when she walks away. Despite the cold treatment from Damien, Elena proves herself strong, shouldering responsibility on her own with a determination that leaves a lasting impression on him. But the stakes are higher than she ever imagined. Damien may have kept secrets, but he's not the only one with things to hide. With Elena out of his life, Damien's empire is under threat from all sides-and it's only when it starts to crumble that he realizes just how much he needs her. And then, the truth comes to light. Elena realizes the man she has come to love is the same boy who showed her kindness in her darkest moments-Damien. Her past and present collide in ways she never imagined, forcing her to confront the depth of her feelings for him. As they both navigate the treacherous waters of trust, betrayal, and power, Elena must decide: can she trust a man who lied to her from the start? Or will her heart betray her as she watches the man she once loved fight to keep her by his side, even if it costs him everything?
