MY SISTER’S EX-FIANCÉ: A forbidden M/M romance simmering with secrets, revenge and extreme slow-burn tension

Blowing apart the wedding of the century was the perfect plan. Falling for the groom was never part of the arrangement. Ryan has spent thirty years perfecting the art of being the 'invisible son'. As a literature teacher, his only goal is to survive in the shadow of Sophia, his elder sister: the Golden Girl, the perfect heir and the absolute protagonist of the family. The final act of Sophia's tyranny is her imminent marriage to Mark, the ruthless heir to a Quebecois financial empire, known in corporate circles as the 'Android of Wall Street'. But perfection is a façade, and when Ryan discovers that his sister is using the engagement as a sham to conceal an affair, he decides the time has come to stop being collateral damage. Ryan delivers the evidence to Mark, expecting him to call off the wedding in a clinical, quiet manner. Instead, Mark proposes an alliance: to feign that all is well and execute a public revenge, calculated to the millimetre, that will shatter Sophia's theatre in front of the entirety of high society. It is a strictly logistical arrangement. Or at least, that is what they try to tell themselves. Between clandestine meetings in seedy cafés, the analysis of invoices and escapes to isolated cabins, the logistics begin to crumble. Ryan discovers that beneath the three-thousand-dollar suits and the scent of sandalwood, Mark is not a machine, but a suffocating man breathing for the first time when by his side. And Mark discovers that Ryan's stinging sarcasm is the only shield behind which he wishes to hide. - Enemy of my enemy (Alliance for revenge)- High-voltage Slow-Burn- Class difference (Billionaire x Middle-class teacher)- Grumpy x Sarcastic Sunshine- From forced proximity to 'He falls first... and harder'
