Blurb My mother didn't come back for me. She came back for my face. For nine years, I was the forgotten twin, the one left behind in the mountains while my sister Cara lived a life of runways, cameras, and fame. Then Mom showed up at my door with a devastating request: pretend to be Cara. Just for a little while. Just until she recovers from the accident that shattered her mind and nearly destroyed her career. It was supposed to be simple. Wear her clothes. Smile for the cameras. Be the perfect copy. But nothing about Cara's life is simple. Her world is full of secrets, lies, and a dangerously attractive stranger who looks at me like he knows I'm not who I claim to be. The deeper I sink into her identity, the more I realize: my sister's life isn't just glamorous, it's deadly. And now I'm trapped in a reflection I can't escape. They say every girl wants to be a supermodel. But what if becoming one means losing yourself forever?

Cora Watson held onto her husband’s promise from three years ago and did whatever she could to please him. She loved him dearly even if he, himself forgot about his promise and shattered her heart, ruthlessly. Now, she’s had enough! She would get divorced from him and would never let him or anyone trample over her ever again! *** I watched as she bent her head and kissed his lips while gyrating her hips at the same time. She seemed to be on cloud nine as she rode him faster and harder. My breath was stuck in my throat. Though I could only see his side view I couldn’t miss the shirt on his body. He was still clad in a shirt though the lower half of his body was exposed. It was a shirt I had specially picked for my husband this morning. A custom-made shirt that I had gotten for him on his last birthday and he was currently on it while being fucked by another woman.

The intern secretly submitted a voluntary pay-cut application on my behalf. As a result, my salary dropped from $10,000 to $2,000. When I found out and confronted him, my boss and colleagues all defended him. "The company is not doing great right now. Oscar was just trying to save costs for us. Do you have to nickel-and-dime over this?" With my salary so low, I couldn't afford the special medication for my chronic migraines, and one day I passed out at my desk during an attack. But the intern snuck a video of me unconscious and posted it on the company's website. He even whipped up a detailed 100-page slideshow breaking down how I was slacking off on the clock and dumping all my work on him. Overnight, I was labeled a workplace bully. My boss gave me the cold shoulder, and my colleagues whispered about me. Even worse, some extreme "anti-workplace-bullying" activists tracked me down to my home, showed up with two cans of gasoline, and burned me and my parents alive. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on that very day when the intern had submitted my pay-cut form. In this second chance at life, I would make sure everyone saw the intern for who he truly was.
