I Was the Substitute, Now He Begs

Emily spends four thankless years pretending to be her glamorous twin sister Alison, enduring the icy contempt of corporate titan Charles and the insults of his favored mistress. She plays the role of dutiful contract wife with quiet dignity, counting down the days until her sister returns to claim the social title.

The moment the agreement terminates, Emily gathers her modest savings and vanishes to another city to start afresh. There she reunites with Samuel, an influential industrial tycoon whose life she saved decades earlier. When Charles finally realizes which sister truly touched his heart and tries to force Emily back, he finds himself outmatched on every front.
