Synopsis

Following on from Lucy Lord's brilliant debut novel, Revelry, comes Vanity. Oozing with sex, wild partying and scandal join Bella and best friend Poppy as they continue to navigate the world of being young, fun and (almost) carefree.

Glamorous Poppy seems to have it all, and after a long tough year she is damn well going to enjoy it. But as Poppy's career in New York goes from strength to strength, her husband, Damian's takes a nosedive and she begins to wonder if love really can survive anything.

In London, Poppy's best friend Bella is basking in that new-couple glow with her boyfriend Andy. But, not everything is as perfect as it seems, and Bella can't help but be a little jealous of her best friend's Big Apple adventures. Meanwhile, their arch-nemesis, shallow but beautiful Ben, is in Hollywood to make his name on the silver screen, and annoyingly, is doing rather well at it!

From St Tropez to New York, LA to the impossibly chic Paris; join Bella and Poppy and their friends as they face the reality of friendships pushed to the limits, and embark on a road trip that they'll never forget...

From the Back Cover:

Gorgeous and glamorous Poppy seems to have it all, and after a long tough year she is ready to put the past behind her and start afresh. Whilst Poppy’s career goes from strength to strength, her husband, Damian’s takes a dramatic turn for the worse, leaving him trailing behind her as she becomes the face of a hot new TV programme in New York. As Damian spirals out of control, Poppy is forced to ask herself if love really can survive anything.

Back in London, Bella and Andy are blissfully happy and basking in their new-couple glow. But, not everything is as perfect as it seems and Bella is worried about journalist Andy’s latest investigative piece – a story about Russian people traffickers, led by a man known only as the Scorpion. Entering this shadowy and dangerous underworld, Andy has no idea just how dangerous the Scorpion really is...

Meanwhile, shallow but beautiful Ben is in Hollywood attempting to make his name on the silver screen. From St Tropez to New York, LA to the impossibly chic Paris; join Bella and Poppy and their friends as they face the reality of friendships and relationships pushed right to the limit.
