On her perfect wedding day, Sarah Anderson wears a sixty-thousand-dollar gown and smiles for three hundred guests. But hidden inside the massive hoop skirt is a man—Jorden, her husband's best friend, a dwarf with a predatory obsession. While the priest reads vows, his hands crawl up her legs, and no one can see. Sarah must stay silent, or ruin her own wedding. But the nightmare doesn't end at the altar. Jorden threatens her, blackmails her, and returns again and again. Worse, Sarah discovers that her own husband, Chad, orchestrated it all—sharing her like a trophy with his friend. Her maid of honor and best friend, Jennifer, isn't a victim either; she's been turned into Jorden's accomplice, helping him trap Sarah at every turn. Broken but not defeated, Sarah stops running. She hides a camera in her hairpin, records every assault, and builds a case that will expose not just one predator, but a conspiracy of betrayal. In a shocking courtroom finale, she names every perpetrator—including the man who vowed to love her. Beneath the Wedding Dress is a harrowing psychological thriller about one woman's journey from silent victim to fierce survivor—and the terrifying truth that the people closest to us can be the most dangerous of all.

Always.I finally hit my limit. I was done. Packed up and broke it off.But the day I left Ainsley? He totally lost it trying to find me.

A week before Easter, Adrian gave me seven days off and had a ticket to Stockholm slipped into my bag. I thought he was finally learning how to care. Then I heard him talking to our son on the staircase. “Dad, are you really going to marry Aunt Bianca? What about Mom?” Noah was holding his model car, trying to sound brave. Adrian was quiet for a moment. “It’s only a legal marriage. Matteo is gone. Bianca and Sophia are exposed, and I can’t leave them that way. They need the DeLuca name for protection.” “Does Mom know?” “She can’t know.” His voice softened. “Keep this from her, Noah. On your birthday, I’ll buy you that Aston Martin model you want.” So the ticket was never a gift. It was a way to move me out of the picture. If he could put his family name on another woman, even for show, then I could take back the pride and ambition I had buried in this marriage. This time, when I left for the north, I would not come back.
