LOGINLila Sterling had it all, money, power and the perfect fiancé. Until the night she fell from her balcony on the night of her engagement party. The world believes she tried to end her life after battling depression and addiction. But she remembers the truth. She was not drunk that night. She was not depressed and above all she didn’t jump. When she finally wakes up, it’s in another woman’s body. Sera Hale, a struggling intern with debts, a sick mother, and a pregnancy. While the media mourns her death, Lila is forced to live as someone else. Her only chance at uncovering the truth lies with Theo Stavros, the ruthless billionaire who she is yet to know, once wanted her for himself. But Theo isn’t the kind of man who saves, he claims. Now, Lila must play his games while hunting down the person who stole her life. But she soon learns that betrayal can bind tighter than love ever could.

Get some rest. I thought I was done for the day until another message followed.Don’t come in tomorrow. I have an offsite assignment for you. I stared at the screen. There was no explanation. No details. Just that one vague message. I placed the phone face down on the counter and leaned back against it, closing my eyes. I did not have the energy to deal with Theo on top of everything. My mind raced with thoughts of everything that I had just discovered in the past 12 hours.Orion had been bleeding my company dry for years and I had no idea.How stupid had I been?I had let him run the financial department without question. Trusted the reports I barely skimmed. Signed off on decisions while I played the role he had crafted. I was the face and the brand of the company. I needed to be out there and
LilaThe first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the drip and for a moment, I just stared at it, my mind completely blank. After a few seconds, it hit me. Hospital bed. I was in a hospital bed and soon enough I remembered everything that had happened.Theo’s office, my raised voice, the sudden weakness in my legs and then darkness.Great, Lila! Absolutely fck.ing great!I tried to sit up and immediately regretted it. My head throbbed and my stomach rolled. I groaned and fell back against the pillow. I needed to leave. My fingers went to the tape securing the plastic line to my hand ready to rip it out.“I really wouldn’t do that.”I froze. A man in a white coat stood in the doorway, a sympathetic smile on his face. I could read his badge from my bed. Dr. Ellis.“You need those fluids, Ms. Hale. You’ve run your tank into the red.” He moved into the room, his eyes on the monitors before they settled on me. “Do you remember what happened?”“I’m fine,” I croaked. I even sounded pitifu
Theo“Sera?” I called only for her head to loll against my arm as her hair spilled forward, her skin gone frighteningly pale.“Hey. Look at me,” I pleaded, but nothing happened, and the panic hit me immediately.“Mara!” The shout tore from my throat and I did not look away from Sera’s face.Mara appeared on the doorway immediately, “Mr. Starvos? What..”“Call my driver!” I barked. “Tell him to be at the private elevator, the engine running. Now, Mara!”The sight of Sera limp in my arms seemed to short circuit her too as she stood frozen for half a second, her eyes wide looking at both of us.“Is she..” she started, but I cut in.“Now!” I snapped, and that did it. She jumped, scrambling for her phone.On my end, I didn’t wait as I adjusted my grip, one arm under Sera’s knees and the other cradling her back and head as I lifted her. She was lighter than I expected. Too light.I strode out of the office, past Mara who was frantically whispering into her phone. “He is coming down now, sir
TheoI had tried everything to stop thinking about her. Work. Whiskey. Women I didn’t care about. Long runs at ungodly hours. Even grief, God help me, even grief hadn’t been enough.I could not outrun her. I could not outrun Sera.I saw her everywhere, even at Lila’s burial, of all places, and I wasn’t proud of that.Lila deserved better than the kind of distraction I was having. Than another woman invading my head while I buried her. But it happened anyway.It always did. There was something about Sera that I could not put my finger on. Which was why I had started digging. Quietly.“You look like you’re contemplating murder, not mourning.” I heard the words behind me. I didn’t turn from the window.“What do you want, Max?” I asked. I had come to the office earlier than usual for some peace but give it to Max to decide this was the best time to pester me. It was not even eight o'clock yet.He walked in, helping himself to the expensive Scotch I kept for clients he would never be.“W
