The Bride They Rejected

“Just as the groom, Maxwell, was about to slip the ring onto Elena's finger, she slowly pulled her hand back. At that exact moment, the projector flickered to life, casting a chilling video across the room. Her stepsister Anne was entangled with Maxwell the night before the wedding.

Just when she believes she has nothing left, fate offers her one unexpected chance to begin again. But can a woman betrayed by everyone she loved ever learn to trust again... or will the truth she's about to uncover destroy what remains of her heart?”
