It was only a matter of time before my twin sister brought chaos into my quiet life. Mel's messed with the wrong people. Now she's in danger and needs my help. She's the only family I have left and she knows I'll do whatever it takes to make sure she stays safe.
Unfortunately helping her means pretending to be her. And my sister just happens to be under contractual obligation to Griffin Mandeville. He's one of Boston's wealthiest bachelors and owner of The Patrician, an exclusive members-only gambling club.
Griffin needs a wife - rich people and their ridiculous inheritance problems - and Mel was supposed to take those vows. Instead he's got me.
So now not only am I deceiving everyone in his social circle into believing he and I are falling in love, I'm also deceiving him. He thinks he's hired an experienced, mercenary woman who understands our arrangement is purely business.
Except, I'm not my sister. I'm not at all what he expected and suddenly we're both finding it hard to separate business from pleasure.
Griffin's everything I shouldn't want - selfish, brooding, arrogant and high-handed. Yet he's also complex, intelligent, and the sexiest man I've ever met. He's awoken desires I never knew existed within me.
I'm drowning. I'm drowning in the lies. The lies I'm telling the world. The lies I'm telling Griffin. And the lies I'm telling myself. We're deceiving ourselves if we think we can pretend we can control this passion for each other. A passion that will turn to dust if Griffin ever learns who I truly am.
