On Martha’s Vineyard, the Laurent estate has always stood as a symbol of legacy, wealth, and power. But beneath the salt-stung air and rows of clinging vines lies a family poisoned by secrets. Victoria “Vee” Laurent returns to the island after years of addiction, haunted by the child she was forced to give up and the ghosts of her past. Evelyn, the iron-willed matriarch, rules with ruthless precision, determined to bind her family’s future to the vineyard—no matter the cost. Marcus, the chosen heir, hides betrayals that could shatter both his marriage and the Laurent name. Camille, the quiet observer, uncovers truths so dangerous they could burn the entire estate to the ground. And then Arianna Greene arrives—an outsider with questions no one dares to ask, her presence threatening to unravel everything Evelyn has built. As tensions rise and long-buried sins surface, the fragile balance cracks. Poison slips into wine. Death stalks the halls. Accusations spiral, loyalties fracture, and every Laurent becomes both suspect and victim in a house where blood ties are shackles. The vines cling. The secrets tighten. And the truth—like roots buried deep in the soil—will not stay hidden forever. Lies, Like Vines is a dark, atmospheric family saga of wealth, betrayal, and the cost of control—perfect for readers who love gothic suspense, twisted legacies, and psychological thrillers where the past is never truly past.
