I Loved You Before Her(Full Book On Amazon KU)

She was never meant to be the bride.

Millie had spent her entire life in the background, quiet, overlooked, and painfully aware that love always belonged to someone else. Especially him. Jake Hathaway, her brother's best friend, the man she loved in silence while he looked at her sister like she was the sun.

So when Jake's wedding to her golden sister falls apart the night before it happens, Millie doesn't expect to be the replacement.

But she becomes the wife anyway.

A stand-in. A substitution. The second choice in a story that was never hers.

On their wedding night, he leaves her alone to chase a ghost. And when he returns, it isn't love he offers, it's rules. Distance. Coldness. A marriage built on obligation, not feeling.

Then her sister comes back.

With a child.

And suddenly, the man Millie was never chosen for is a husband, a father, and a stranger living under the same roof.

While they build a life in front of her eyes, Millie quietly disappears inside herself.

Until the truth unravels.

Until lies crack open.

Until the man who destroyed her realizes she was the only thing real in a life built on illusion.

And by then, loving her back won't be enough.

Because some people aren't broken by being left behind.

They're broken by being chosen last.
