THE BACKUP BRIDE
She has a spreadsheet for everything. He has a secret that could ruin them both. When a wedding implodes, the only variable they didn’t calculate was love.
Maya Chen lives her life by the data. As a wedding planner (and secret coding prodigy), she believes that chaos can be controlled with enough conditional formatting. But when a high-profile bride vanishes hours before the ceremony, Maya is forced to make an impossible let the event—and her career—crash and burn, or step into the designer heels of the missing woman.
Her groom? Leo Sterling. The billionaire CEO of SoulSync. The man whose arrogant betrayal destroyed Maya’s tech career ten years ago.
Now, trapped in a breathless fake engagement to save Leo’s company from a hostile takeover and protect his family’s legacy, Maya finds herself dragged into the cutthroat world of Silicon Valley espionage. But the polished exterior of Sterling’s life hides a fractured a neurodivergent sister fighting to be heard, a predatory algorithm harvesting human trauma, and a man far more broken than his GQ covers suggest.
As they race to rewrite the code of a corrupt AI and save the people they love, the lines between their contract and their chemistry begin to blur. Leo is the glitch in Maya’s perfectly ordered world, and for the first time, she’s terrified that the error isn’t in the system—it’s in her heart.
From the boardrooms of San Francisco to the vibrant streets of the Mission District, The Backup Bride is a searing enemies-to-lovers romance about ethical tech, second chances, and finding a love that defies the algorithm.
