The Strange Groom's Cursed Bride Novel

Alice, believing herself cursed and desperate for money, agrees to impersonate her twin sister for a year, marrying the Wildfire Heir. She expects a distant husband and a simple arrangement, warned to avoid the second and third sons. However, she crosses paths with the second son, a man eerily resembling her dreams, who becomes her unexpected groom. Alice struggles with her deception, lacking her sister's legal expertise and discovering her sister's vegetarianism, abstention from alcohol, and apparent victimization, hinting at a deeper mystery behind her disappearance. The second son's intense scrutiny, like a predator's gaze, adds to her peril. She questions if the substantial financial gain is worth risking her life among the volatile Wildfires. Meanwhile, Hades, intrigued by the idea that women desire powerlessness in men, spots Alice and tests his theory. He swiftly scoops her up and carries her over his shoulder, much to her vocal protest and the stunned silence of onlookers. He believes this forceful act will lead to her falling for him, despite his underlings’ misinterpretations of her reactions. Later, when Alice ignores his calls, Hades interprets her rejection as a desire for his physical presence, deciding to visit her. The story promises a dark, comedic, and 18+ romance where Alice’s attempts to avoid exposure are comically unsuccessful.
