BETROTHED

Abstract

Shayenne is trapped in a suffocating engagement to Josh, an alcoholic ten years her senior. When she's finally allowed to pursue film studies in New York, she meets charismatic producer Shane Lucas. "But Shane already has a girlfriend," Keisha warns. "I can't control what I feel," Shayenne whispers. "When he's near me, I feel alive for the first time." "I've never felt this way about anyone, not even Sloane," Shane confesses, holding her hand. Caught between loyalty and passion, Shayenne must make the hardest choice—return to the familiar cage or risk everything for a chance at true love.
