She's Charleston's perfect bride. Until she isn't.

Margot Ellison has everything a Southern belle should want: a prestigious family name, a handsome fiancé, and a wedding that will be the event of the season. So why does she feel like she's drowning in silk and pearls?

When a chance encounter at a charity gala awakens something dangerous inside her, Margot discovers that the life everyone expects her to live might not be the one she wants. Someone sees through her practiced smiles. Someone makes her question every careful step she's ever taken. Someone who should be completely off limits.

As her wedding approaches and Charleston society watches her every move, Margot must decide: continue the performance she's perfected her entire life, or risk everything for a truth that could destroy two families.

But some secrets have a way of revealing themselves. And in Charleston, scandal travels faster than summer lightning.

Will Margot choose the life that's been planned for her? Or will she finally choose herself?

A breathtaking story of forbidden desire and impossible choices. Pick up The Woman I was Before today!
