No Longer in His Shadow

On her sixth wedding anniversary, Velay Beauty co-founder Vera Bennett returns to New York with an eight-week ultrasound—only to catch her husband, Grant, kissing influencer Blair Reed. Blair is pregnant too, and with Grant’s help, she steals Vera’s founding story and claims credit for her work. When Vera exposes the truth, Grant orders his assistant to confiscate her notebook. The struggle sends her down the steps—and costs her the baby. Vera wakes up, removes her wedding ring, and refuses to surrender her company. If they want to erase her name, she will take back her brand, her career, and her life. By the time Grant finally sees the woman he kept in the shadows, it is far too late.
