THE BILLIONAIRE'S FAKE BLIND WIFE

joycejehoch Romance

Elena Carter grew up in an orphanage with no idea who her real family was. She never expected an answer to that question, and she never expected the answer to come with a price.
The Carters, a wealthy and powerful family, show up one day and tell her she is their real daughter. There is no warm welcome and no apology for the years she spent without them. Instead they have one request. Their other daughter, Vivian, the one they actually raised, is supposed to marry Alexander Blackwood, heir to one of the most powerful families in the city. But Vivian refuses, because everyone believes Alexander is blind, disabled, and unable to run anything on his own. She wants nothing to do with him.
So the Carters turn to Elena instead. Take Vivian's place. Marry a stranger. Elena has no reason to protect a family that hid her existence for years, but she also has nothing left to lose, so she agrees.
What she doesn't know is that Alexander Blackwood is not who everyone thinks he is. He can see perfectly well. The accident that supposedly left him blind three years ago was no accident at all. Someone close to him tried to have him killed, and he has spent every day since pretending to be helpless while quietly searching for the person responsible.
He expects his new wife to be just like the woman who was supposed to marry him, someone shallow, someone easy to control. Elena is nothing like that. She doesn't flatter him. She isn't afraid of him. And when she finds out the truth about his eyes, she doesn't run to expose him. She keeps his secret.
That single choice changes everything between them.
What starts as a marriage neither of them wanted slowly becomes something real. But real feelings are dangerous when there are people watching, people lying, and people still trying to finish what they started three years ago. As Alexander gets closer to the truth about who tried to kill him, he uncovers a connection to Elena's own family, and Elena begins to suspect her past was not the accident she always believed it to be.
Somewhere between the lies, the secrets, and the danger closing in around them, Elena and Alexander have to decide if what they feel for each other is strong enough to survive the truth, once everything finally comes out.
