"… Are you planning on making me someone else?" I asked, my bottom lip trembling slightly as I began to realize what I had gotten myself into.
"Too many questions." He stared straight at me, and then his lips spread in a sly smirk, "You are right, anyways. You are no longer who you used to be. What is your name?" "Persephone Walters." I told him with a hidden plea in my voice. Please don't make me disappear…
"From now on, that person is dead. You will now be my girlfriend, and wife-to-be, the elegant Kassandra Aaron."
*** *** ***
Desperate and starving, Persephone Walters steals a loaf of bread—and crashes straight into the world of Aiden Bates, a cold, calculating billionaire with a broken engagement and a dangerous plan.
She looks exactly like his missing fiancée.
He needs her to pretend.
The price of refusal? Prison.
Forced into a fake relationship, Persy is suddenly living in a penthouse, wrapped in designer clothes, and shadowed by secrets. But Aiden doesn’t want her. He wants a memory. A stand-in. A body with a familiar face.
But Persy is not Kassie.
And she’s not going to disappear quietly.
As their contract relationship spirals into something more, desire battles resentment, and lines between performance and reality begin to blur. When the real Kassie returns, everything explodes.
Will he still see her?
Or has she just been a ghost all along?
A dark, twisted romance where a possessive alpha claims her, desire turns dangerous, and escape feels just like falling in love.
