“SPECTACULAR, RICHLY PLOTTED
“Racing to a shocking climax, this glittering novel is first-class entertainment.”
—NY Times Book Review

Deedee Dahlen and Lana Bantry…rich girl and socialite…poor girl and outcast.  Sisters and strangers, they share a father but not an inheritance.  They share a lover  but not a commitment.

Deedee, born with a silver spoon, is indulged and celebrated—until her world turns upside down.  Lana, the child of a brief encounter, is ignored and rejected—until she forces the world to pay attention.  They do not know of each other’s existence and might never have met until their worlds collide when fate — and murder — bring them face to face.

“TOTALLY BELIEVABLE AND FASCINATING—

—West Coast Review of Books

—Fort Lauderdale News Sun-Sentinel

“I COULDN’T STOP READING.”
—Rona Jaffe,  bestselling author of The Best of Everything

“A powerful contemporary novel of passion, jealousy and secrets.”
—Michael Joseph
