Lacette Grahamβs twin sister, Kellie, has been competing with her since they shared a crib. And in thirty-three years, nothing has changedβexcept the stakes have gotten higher. Instead of vying for baby toys, things like success, moneyβand menβhave come into play. And as the more vivacious, beautifulβand selfishβtwin, Kellie has no problem using her advantages to get what she wants. But when the girlsβ parents mysteriously separate, and their maternal grandmother dies, Kellieβs manipulating reaches new heightsβand Lacette is more of a target than ever.
With her mother in the throes of a mortifying mid-life crisis, her father and greatest ally out of the house, and her sister on a warpath to steal her inheritance, Lacette is truly on her own. Resolved to look out for herself, she finally uses her marketing degree to realize her dream of starting her own firm. In the process, like a gift of fate, she meets Douglas Rawlins. Hard-working, talented, and attractive, Douglas is everything she wants in a man. There's just one baffling problem: he avoids her like poison. Even Lacette doesn't suspect that her sister is behind Douglas's odd behavior. Burning with envy over Lacette's latest accomplishments, Kellie has embarked on a frenzied spree of greed and seduction that has even her father disgusted. But when tragedy suddenly strikes, will Kellie withhold the most important gift of all?
