The Lie Hidden In White
READING AGE 18+
'My perfect wedding day became my worst nightmare.'
Architect Autumn Coleen Contreras has always believed in building a life as beautiful as the homes she designs-stable, elegant, and full of love. With a successful career, a circle of loyal friends, a cousin who's more like a sister, and a man she's ready to spend forever with, everything in her life feels picture-perfect.
Until her wedding day.
The guests waited. The music played. A bride walked down the aisle.
But the woman in white... wasn't who they expected.

Now, in the silence that follows, Autumn must face what comes after the heartbreak. After the wedding that never was. After the future that never belonged to her.
Because some lies aren't spoken.
Some are worn.
And the most dangerous ones are hidden in plain sight-
The Lie Hidden in White.

Waiting for the first comment……
