The Glamorous Life of the Fake Mistress

In her previous life, Sally was swept off her feet by Duke Casis Esteban and taken in as his mistress. What initially seemed like a romantic escape quickly devolved into a waking nightmare when Duchess Elysee Esteban orchestrated a vicious campaign to destroy her. The duchess systematically turned the entire nobility against Sally, leaving her isolated and ruined by the very aristocratic world she had been drawn into. Now granted a miraculous second chance, Sally is determined to turn the tables on the cold duke who merely used her as a pawn to end his unhappy marriage. Armed with knowledge of the future, she agrees to enter their arrangement once more, but this time strictly as a fake mistress in appearance alone. She intends to control the terms of their relationship and protect herself from the impending betrayal. However, altering the past proves more complicated than anticipated. As Sally navigates high society with newfound caution, Duke Esteban begins to notice her sharp intellect and unexpected composure. Captivated by both her brilliance and alluring dreams he cannot shake, the duke finds himself increasingly drawn to her. Soon, he desires nothing more than to abandon the fictional boundaries of their agreement and make Sally truly his own.
