The Wife He Never Saw

Two families made a deal. A marriage for a merger. The bride was supposed to be Vera Calloway. She ran away to Europe the night before the wedding. So they took her twin sister instead. Wren had been hidden in a small town for eighteen years. She was wearing an apron when the bodyguards found her. They offered her a deal: pretend to be Vera for three years, take five million dollars, then disappear. She said yes. For three years, she played the perfect wife. She learned Julian's coffee order, his allergies, his schedule. Everyone thought she loved him. She was just counting down the days. Julian only loved Camille, the woman who left him years ago. Then Camille came back. Wren signed away her rights. She was pregnant. She left with the money and her grandmother's name. Five years later, a bakery in Savannah. A boy with Julian's eyes. The countdown was over. The secret was not.
