The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

For three years, Freya Dawson worshipped the ground Kieran walked on, her love unconditional and her self-respect dwindling with each passing day. To Kieran, she was merely a plan B, a secondary choice behind his true love, Eloise Harwood. To everyone’s knowledge, Freya was just a cheap stand-in for the woman Kieran truly loved.
