About the book
His passionate love was not meant for her
When Romy Morgan agreed to save her twin sister's house in Fiji by impersonating her, she didn't realize the danger she herself would be in. Tania's neighbor, Aaron Blake, was supposed to be out of the country--but he wasn't.
Romy would never be able to fool one of Tania's ex-lovers, especially since it seemed that Aaron wanted to resume the affair where he'd left off. But as Aaron ignited Romy's own deep passions, she despaired.
Romy knew her twin would be returning to replace her as Aaron's love.
