Veils and Vows — Michelle Lynn Brown

Renee Winters has the voice and the face of an angel. She's the worship leader at her church, runs the Brides for Christ program for young teenage girls, and she is the chaste "bride" modeling the gowns for the bridal shop she works at. The problem is - it is all a lie. Renee's childhood was filled with memories of an alcoholic mother who paraded a slew of men in and out their home. Renee vowed she would never turn out like her, but one broken night, she runs from the nightmare of her home and into the arms of handsome bad-boy, Ian McKnight. She laid down her vow to God that night, and woke up with a heart filled with regret. Since then, she has tried to erase her moment of weakness with years of faithful service. Yet each time she stands before a group of young girls, preaching about the beauty of remaining pure, she is painfully aware of her broken vows. Then Ian returns - a wounded soldier, a recovering alcoholic and no stranger to broken vows. Ian is the only one who knows the truth, and Renee tries to avoid him at all cost, unsure if she can trust him - or herself. When the bridal shop she works for hires him to create their website, she realizes that she can't avoid him forever. With his camera pointed in her direction, he tries his hardest to capture the real Renee - the one behind the veil of lies. Will Ian tempt Renee to break her promises again, or will he help her understand the true nature of her vows?
