The Girl Who Found Her Laugh
Harper was the girl everyone loved: the kind soul with the laugh that melted ice, whose life was set for a happily ever after. But on her twenty-first birthday, her parents delivered a cold, crushing truth: she was to marry Matthew, a man with a dark reputation and an even darker soul.
Trapped in a quiet, loveless marriage, Harper's vibrant spirit fades until she is merely a ghost in her own life. Her only connection to the outside world becomes the apartment next door, home to a couple in crisis-and to Andrew, a familiar face from her past who sparks a forgotten hope.
When Matthew's temper turns to violence, Andrew steps in, forcing a confrontation that shatters their polite facade. As secrets unravel and a past love rekindles, Harper realizes she only has one choice: sink beneath the weight of her prison or risk everything for a chance at freedom.
A desperate, whispered plan for an escape is hatched, sending Harper and Andrew on a life-altering journey. But even across state lines, the past is hard to outrun. This is the story of a woman who chose life, love, and the courage to rebuild her own happily ever after, not on a promise, but on the enduring strength of her own heart.
