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

Klappentext

Some dreams cost more than money. Lilly paid in pieces of herself.

They call her VAELI now. Chart-topping single. Sold-out shows. A face on billboards from LA to Atlanta. The girl from Ember Ridge, North Carolina finally made it - engagement ring on her finger, a fiancé who looks at her like she hung the moon, and the kind of life she used to only pray for in the dark.

But nobody knows what she did to get here.

Before the fame, there was a dealer named Fish and a smile that made her ignore every red flag. Before the fame, there was Cheetah's, a bartender's apron, and a stage she never wanted to dance on. Before the fame, there were choices she buried so deep she almost convinced herself they happened to some other girl.

Now the past is circling back like smoke - and the one secret that could burn it all down has a name her best friend calls husband.

Eric loves the woman she became. But can he love the woman she had to be to survive?

They say the truth will set you free. What they don't tell you is that sometimes it burns everything down first.

Lilly's about to find out if what she built is strong enough to survive the fire.

Life of a Star Before the Fame is Book Three in the emotionally charged Journeys of the Heart series - a raw, steamy, redemptive Black romance about survival, self-forgiveness, and the terrifying cost of being truly seen.

For readers of Kennedy Ryan, Jahquel Jones, and Love Belvin.
