The Wrong Bride by Catharina Maura is a heart-wrenching, drama-soaked romance that’s like a soap opera you can’t stop reading. Raven Du Pont has been in love with billionaire media mogul Ares Windsor forever, but he’s engaged to her older sister, Hannah, a narcissistic movie star who’s always been their mom’s favorite. When Hannah bails on their wedding day to chase her career, Raven’s forced to step in as the bride to save their family’s failing business—an arranged marriage that’s pure torture, since Ares only has eyes for Hannah. Determined to win his heart, Raven pours everything into their marriage, but Ares’s lingering feelings for her sister, messy family dynamics, and a pregnancy scandal (is Hannah lying or not?) keep them on the edge of disaster. The 400-page standalone is a rollercoaster of angst, steamy scenes, and slow-burn love, with fans swooning over Raven’s resilience and Ares’s intense devotion once he sees her as “his queen.” But critics slam Ares as a “dumbass” for his flip-flopping, call the sister drama over-the-top, and cringe at nicknames like “Cupcake,” saying the “it’s always been you” trope falls flat when he’s been with Hannah for years. BookTok’s split—some cry over the HEA, others rage at the toxic vibes—but it’s a wild start to the Windsors series.

Who Should Read It? This is for contemporary romance fans who love angsty arranged marriages and slow-burn drama, readers craving Twisted Lies or The Fine Print vibes, or anyone into billionaire romances with messy family ties. If you’re cool with triggers like emotional manipulation, infidelity themes, and intense family conflict (check Maura’s warnings!), grab this for a spicy, emotional binge, perfect for ages 17+. It’s a standalone, but sets up The Temporary Wife. If you hate unlikeable side characters or inconsistent heroes, it might frustrate you—check reviews first.
