Vanity Heir - NYC Edition

He's New York's most scandalous model. She's a runway legacy… and they hooked up before she knew he'd make a deal with the Devil in Prada to keep the people he loves safe. Alcey Davenport walked away from the Monroe name and celeb spotlight seven years ago. She's finally got her dream gig, behind the camera for the book-to-screen adaptation from her favorite author. The only catch? Her supermodel mother has decided it's time for Alcey to come home. And Tallulah Monroe doesn't ask for what she wants, she takes it. Daine Cruse has spent a decade outrunning his past, but now that he's the legal guardian of his twin sisters, Tallulah has him dangling by a string. Mommy Dearest in haute couture only has one condition: bring Alcey Monroe out of retirement. In a world where every label is a leash and every lover is a liability, the only thing more dangerous than what they're hiding is what they're starting to feel. Everyone has secrets. Can Alcey and Daine keep theirs under the covers or will keeping secrets tear them apart when labels and lovers collide? Vanity Heir is a darkish New Adult Glitterati Romance–-Devil Wears Prada meets Fifty Shades, with a former child star reclaiming her name, a model mortgaging his future, and the kind of secrets that don't stay under the covers. Tropes: Former child star heroine, model sigma hero, forbidden romance, tortured hero/ine, redemption arcs, almost-one-night stand, secret identity, found family, manipulative mother, NYC fashion and publishing world, fake-dating-adjacent, and dark romance elements of overcoming a dark past, trauma, abuse, and addiction.
