The fire scarred her, but she emerged as the winner. She’s ready to take YaYa’s place and live her dream life at long last, including all the money, the family and Indie’s love all to herself. Leah thinks she’s finally gotten YaYa out of the picture after years of trying, eliminating her competition for Indie’s love. Ashley Antoinette returns with Green-Eyed Monster, the third installment in her Prada Plan series.
