Vanity’s Vice: When Love Exposes the Lie

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

BOOK THREE of BURIED TRUTHS ~ What if the truth you buried came back… wearing a wedding ring? Elizabeth “Lizzy” Parks had a plan—one that shattered the life of Jonathan Blakey and left a child caught in the wreckage. Nearly three decades later, that child, Layla, has become a brilliant, resilient woman who finally finds love on her own terms… only to discover her fiancé is the son of the man her mother betrayed. As buried secrets explode into the present, generations must confront betrayal, shame, and the cost of silence. What begins as a love story turns into a reckoning. Layla must choose: surrender to the wounds of her past or break the curse and build the life she was never meant to survive. A gripping tale of generational betrayal, love that redeems, and the lie that almost destroyed them all.
