Description

ONE WANTS THE MONEY . . .

Riah Arora has traveled from Italy to San Francisco to find her twin. Born in India and separated from her sister at birth, even she isn’t sure if she’s on a mission to deliver a message from their ailing birth mother—or con her sister like one of the marks she expertly robs to make her living.

THE OTHER WANTS TO BE FREE . . .

Anjali Murphy—successful owner of a trendy café, married to a well-to-do lawyer—has an agenda of her own. When she and her sister finally meet, they feel an instant connection only twins can understand. Even so, Riah is envious of Anjali’s life, and she seizes the opportunity to pull one last, lucrative con.

WHICH ONE WILL WIN?

A week after the twins’ first meeting, Riah wakes up in the hospital and is mistaken for Anjali. Moreover, she’s told by Sadie Harper, a homicide detective, that Anjali’s husband, Michael, is dead. Who killed Michael? And where is the real Anjali? As Riah struggles to recover her memory and answer these questions, she discovers a plot that runs deeper than bloodlines.
