Family is everything. Well, at least it was to Charlotte Merile. She would do anything for them. So, when her identical twin sister begs her to stand in for her at work so that she can be whisked away to Bali with her new boyfriend, Charlotte agrees. Seeing as their own parents still got them confused, Charlotte wasn't worried about her sister's boss finding out.
Only, Mason Morrentti was not only easily fooled. Meticulous, ruthless and precise were three words constantly used wherever Mason's name was involved. The CEO of one of the largest cybersecurity company in New York expected nothing but perfection from not only himself, but his staff.
As realities start to mesh and lies start to get twisted, Charlotte and Mason find themselves questioning everything, even themselves.
