The Vampire Count's Substitute

Twin sister Camille was branded "cursed" at birth and abandoned in a slum. Twenty years later, a vampire count demands a princess bride. Her sister refuses, so Camille is brought back to take her place. But the count is no monster—he teaches her to read, gives her warm meals, and treats her as an equal. Meanwhile, her jealous sister plots murder. The count exposes the priest's lie: the curse was just a birthmark. The duke publicly acknowledges Camille, her sister begs forgiveness, and Camille chooses to stay in the vampire castle. From castaway to countess, she reclaims her name and her future.
