Runaway Bride

Imagine discovering the man you love is marrying someone else, and you're expected to help plan the wedding. Janice Smith's carefully constructed world unravels when her boyfriend, Simon Fitzgerald, drops a bombshell: his childhood sweetheart, Amelia Burnett, is supposedly dying and her last wish is to marry him. Simon, ever the dutiful hero, agrees without a second thought, leaving Janice reeling from the devastating news that she’s not the bride. This contemporary romance takes a sharp turn into emotional turmoil as Janice is further humiliated by Simon's request for her to be Amelia’s bridesmaid. How can she stand by and support the woman who is stealing her future? The knife twists deeper as Simon insists Amelia wear the wedding dress Janice painstakingly designed, even suggesting she adorn herself with Janice's family heirloom jewelry. Trapped by societal expectations and Simon's manipulative nature, Janice feels she has no choice but to comply. Protesting would paint her as selfish, a label she desperately wants to avoid. Beneath Janice's seemingly compliant exterior lies a secret. She is the globally renowned seamstress who has secretly kept their company, Refined Threads Co., afloat. Using a pseudonym, she sells her exquisite crochet work, earning a fortune that dwarfs Simon's contributions. However, she has always hidden her success, knowing Simon's fragile ego can't handle a woman outshining him. Now, as she watches her life being handed to another woman, Janice wonders if her carefully constructed facade can withstand the pressure. Will she continue to play the supportive girlfriend, or will the fire of her hidden talent and ambition finally ignite, consuming everything in its path? And if she chooses to fight back, what will be the cost?
