Sisters in arms—bound by loyalty, betrayed by love, and forced to face the secrets and decisions that could destroy them.
In Murky Waters Rising, friendship isn’t just survival—it’s a battlefield. Against the backdrop of military life in Ft. Meade, Maryland, and Norfolk, Virginia, four women fight to protect each other from betrayal, buried grief, and dangerous truths that refuse to stay hidden. When the bonds of love twist into deception and loyalty collides with revenge, they must decide how far they’re willing to go—and what battles they’ll fight in the name of sisterhood. Suspenseful and sensual, this first installment drops you straight into the trenches of love, loss, and the kind of loyalty only sisters in arms could understand.

Sisters in arms from the start—caught in the haze of love, betrayal, and choices that would ignite the battles to come.
Hazy Views takes readers back to where it all began—the nights of laughter, the sparks of passion, and the choices that would harden into scars. Against the backdrop of military life in Ft. Meade, Maryland, and Norfolk, Virginia, Jen, Lace, Nika, and Sasha form bonds that feel unbreakable. But every sisterhood has its origin story, and theirs was written in blood and silence. This prequel reveals the early battles—the ones fought in shadows—that would bind them as sisters in arms and set the stage for the storm waiting in Murky Waters Rising.

NEW BOOK COMING SOON

What our readers say

Everything I didn't know before: I would like to give this book 5 stars simply because, there were so many things that were revealed in this story that made me understand Murky Waters Rising. Secrets KEPT and some UNLOCKED. I cant wait for the next book to see what happens next. I love the fact that the girls are all best friends but more so like family than anything always looking out for each other and each others families. A GOOD READ. Vanity Smith is very creative in her stories. Check it out !
