Sherice Van den Krawitz thought she had found her forever in Zachary Hillson—charming, attentive, and everything a man should be. Everyone adored him. She trusted him. But love is not always what it seems. Behind closed doors, the man who once made her feel special begins to take away her voice. What starts as control is soon disguised as care. What starts as jealousy is soon justified as love. As the wedding day approaches, Sherice finds herself walking down an aisle she no longer chose, wearing a dress he picked, to a future she never wanted. When the truth of their relationship becomes impossible to ignore, Sherice must decide whether to keep surviving... or finally fight for the life she deserves. EVERY PROMISE HAS ITS THORNS. NOT EVERY HAPPILY EVER AFTER BEGINS WITH LOVE. BEAUTY. PROMISE. FOREVER.SOME ROSES COME WITH CHAINS. BEHIND EVERY SMILE, THERE CAN BE A SECRET. HE GAVE HER A RING.SHE GAVE UP HER VOICE.
