Substitute Bride

By: Raven Knight

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When the bride runs, someone else must take her place.

Zara Williams escaped her family’s criminal empire years ago. She refuses to be traded like property—until her cousin flees her arranged marriage and a war looms over Philadelphia.

Now Zara is the substitute bride.
Married off to John Castellano, a silver-haired Don who doesn’t repeat himself and doesn’t tolerate defiance, she expects a cold arrangement and a loveless bed.
What she doesn’t expect is him. Controlled. Ruthless. Absolute in every decision—except when it comes to her. The marriage was meant to be temporary. Political. Clean. Instead, it becomes something neither of them planned.
Because once Zara steps into his world, John realizes she was never a replacement. She was the only woman he would have chosen.

And in a city ruled by loyalty and blood, a Don does not surrender what is his.
