His Fake Identity, My Real Heart

His Fake Identity, My Real Heart

The story centers on Ivy Friedman, a 24-year-old woman whose world collapses overnight when her father is arrested for fraud he didn’t commit — leaving her with no money, no home, and no choice but to accept a contract marriage to Evan Wellington, the bedridden heir to Chicago’s most powerful family, in exchange for her father’s freedom. But the man who slips into her room each night — voice distorted, face hidden in shadows, impossible to resist — is not Evan at all. It’s Wyatt, his brooding and secretive older brother, forced into the deception by a family that has never truly accepted him. What begins as a calculated lie slowly becomes the one thing neither of them can walk away from — and by the time Ivy discovers the truth, she is already carrying his child, already broken by his betrayal, and already too deep in love to pretend otherwise.
