"I don't know this man, I don't know his friends, I don't know his type." No amount of love could replace the past. And they had a lot of that for one another-love that is. The two child hood friends had bonded early on, especially over their love of music. Where one lacked, one had. Mariah was the writer, Kentrell the performer. It's only until a high school talent show that Kentrell performs a song written by his beloved best friend, Mariah...that his career takes off. But it happens to take off without Mariah. And he had promised to take her. Promises were meant to be broken I suppose.

Legally, nothing about their relationship was wrong. Morally? That was a different story. She was eleven years older than him, his professor-and yet, she couldn't resist. Kamron, with his irresistible brown eyes, his honeyed voice laced with a hint of southern charm, and a smile that could stop you in your tracks, had her completely ensnared. Robin had seen the way he captivated everyone around him, and now, fate seemed to toy with her: the boy who embodied temptation living just beside her as her next door neighbor, his bedroom window staring straight into hers. Two forbidden hearts. One impossible desire. Window to window.

Different schools. Different lives. But nearly the same face. At first it feels like a simple coincidence. Then it starts happening too often to ignore. When the two girls finally come face to face, the resemblance is impossible to deny. What begins as confusion quickly turns into anger and suspicion as buried secrets begin to surface. Years ago, their mother gave birth to semi-identical twin girls, she was told one of them died during delivery. But the truth is far darker. One baby didn't die. She was kidnapped at birth. As the girls dig deeper into the past, they uncover a web of lies, stolen identities, and a truth that should have never stayed buried. Learning they are twins is only the beginning. Trust doesn't come easy between two strangers forced into sisterhood, and the bond they're trying to build is tested by resentment, jealousy, and the painful realization of everything that was stolen from them. But blood has a way of pulling people back together and when the truth finally comes out, the sisters will have to decide whether the life they lost is worth fighting for... or if the family they found in each other is enough.
