About Not Your Substitute
Olivia is weeks away from marrying Ryan, her father’s former star student. Then a routine checkup reveals he’s gained twenty pounds — not the real issue. The problem is the nightly calls he won’t answer, the hidden social media posts, and the manicured hand feeding him in photos she never saw. When she forces him to put a call on speaker, a familiar voice orders a favorite fish dish. It belongs to Claire — Ryan’s ex of ten years. Olivia doesn’t yell. She picks up her keys. “Let’s go get that fish.” But the truth she’s about to uncover is far worse than she imagined.
