You Were Always the Stand-In

Description： Everyone said Vivian Hart was living in someone else's shadow.

Her fiancé's heart belonged to his first love. His friends called Vera a counterfeit. And for two years, she played the part assigned to her — gracious, yielding, invisible — while the man she was promised to looked straight through her.

What no one knew: Vera had been living with a broken heart long before Ryan Calloway walked into the picture. For eight years she'd been mourning her adopted brother Ethan — bright, steady, warm Ethan — who was declared dead in a crash the night she was away competing.

Then Ethan walked through a door at her disastrous, interrupted wedding.

And Vivian finally understood: Ryan was never the center of this story. He was never anything but her stand-in for the person she'd actually been grieving all along.

A warm, sharp, deeply romantic novel about the one who was always the real thing.
