My fiance's Brother

Trapped in a loveless engagement to a philandering scumbag, Evangeline’s life is a gilded cage. But one wild, drunken night shatters her carefully constructed world, throwing her into the arms of a stranger—a man whose dark allure and possessive nature awaken something she never knew existed. Now, as the truth of his identity unravels, she discovers her one-night stand is none other than her fiancé's cold, powerful stepbrother. Will this forbidden connection be her undoing or the key to her unexpected liberation?

The thrum of the college parking lot faded into a dull roar as Evangeline Yoke watched her fiancé, Jake, shamelessly flirt with another girl from her class. He insisted on picking her up, but it was always just an excuse for his casual philandering.

"I hate this scumbag," Cassy, her best friend, muttered beside her.

Evangeline’s chest tightened. "I hate him too." Her words were a raw, bitter confession. She was trapped, bound by an ancient contract to marry into the powerful Bishop family, a fate she loathed but couldn't escape without dire consequences for her own family.

Cassy pleaded, "Eva, I will help you. Pack your stuff and run away. Anything is better than marrying this scumbag. Please, Eva, don't waste your life!"

But Evangeline shook her head, her gaze fixed on the laughing pair. "You know I cannot do that. They will find me no matter where I am. My father and family would suffer first." The words were a familiar, heavy weight on her tongue, the truth of her gilded cage.

She was a Yoke, and a Yoke was bound to a Bishop. She couldn't sacrifice her family, even if they had always neglected her. She turned away from the sight of Jake, a dull ache in her heart. "Let's go to a club and forget all about this for a while," she said, a desperate plea for escape in her voice.
