Shadow of the Stand-in

Alex Reed is the perfect substitute: submissive, quiet, and living in the shadow of the woman who walked away. To the elite society of Burlington, she is Landon Hale’s "ghost bride"—a hollow stand-in trapped in a gilded cage of possessive obsession. But beneath the hypnotic fog clouding her mind, a terminal secret is ticking away. As her suppressed memories of a dark scientific past resurface and the man who claims to own her turns his toxic devotion into a deadly game, Alex realizes the terrifying truth: she was never just a replacement. She was the experiment. With her body failing and the "white moonlight" returning to reclaim her throne, Alex must uncover the truth of Project Phoenix before her time runs out. Landon will do anything to keep her, but how do you hold onto a woman who is already fading away?
