Cinquanta Cox-Smith: Life Of A Star Before The Fame, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

She confessed her darkest secret. Now she has to live with the fallout.

A raw, explicit Black contemporary romance about the price of fame and the cost of honesty - Book 3 of the Journeys of the Heart series. Heat Level 5. Trigger warnings forward.

Lilly DuPont has everything she ever dreamed of: a record deal, a fiancé who adores her, and a tour that's launching her into superstardom. But the past she buried to get here is clawing its way back.

Before the sold-out shows and the Grammy nominations, Lilly was surviving - bartending at Cheetah's strip club, falling for a drug dealer who broke her heart, and making choices she's spent years trying to forget.

Now, engaged to producer Eric Powers and on the verge of mainstream success, Lilly is haunted by the secrets she's kept from everyone she loves:

▸ The abortion she had after her dealer boyfriend ghosted her

▸ The casual relationships that made her feel wanted but left her empty

▸ The drunken threesome in Turks & Caicos - with her best friend's husband

When the guilt becomes too heavy to carry, Lilly makes a choice that changes everything: she tells the truth.

But honesty has a price. Her best friend Mary won't speak to her. Her fiancé Eric questions whether he can trust her. And Lilly has to face the possibility that some secrets are meant to stay buried.

This isn't a soft love story. It's a reckoning. A rise-from-the-ashes, burn-it-all-down, confess-your-worst-self kind of book - the one you'll finish at 3 AM and immediately text your group chat about.
