I was engaged before I was even born. When I meet my fiancé, it's love at first sight.But then my life is burned to the ground… and my husband-to-be is gone without a trace. Heath is everything I've hoped for in a husband. Handsome, kind and calm - the exact opposite of his cruel uncle Xavier.But Heath doesn't come for me on my eighteenth birthday, and instead, monstrous Xavier shows up. He murders my loved ones and takes me back to his mansion. He says I'll no longer marry Heath. I'll be his wife instead… All I can do is cling to my memories of Heath while Xavier abuses me. I still remember what he said to me."You should be afraid of me, foolish little girl." Maybe I'm better off with his uncle, after all… The Bride Thief is the free prequel of the Dark Vows duet. The story continues in Book 1, The Wife Breaker. Author's note: Hope you're ready for an intensely emotional, very dark & twisted romantic tale. This is a free short prequel novella with a cliffhanger and a happily-ever-after guaranteed by the end of the series!
