Synopsis:

WHEN TRUDY STEALS A NEW LIFE, SHE INHERITS SOME OLD - AND DANGEROUS - PROBLEMS An acclaimed author with a proven fanbase returns with a thrilling new novel combining elements of romance, suspense and adventure. 28-year-old Trudy Bell has never been outside her home, never worked anywhere except the family store and never been with anyone other than James Young, her boyfriend for the past decade. Now her emotionally manipulative father has persuaded her to commit to James and get engaged. But despite the dull, hardworking lifestyle she and James share, their ideas of happiness are worlds apart. Facing a future of cooking, cleaning and unsatisfying sex, Trudy decides to make some changes while she still can, starting with a new job. When she lands a position at a travel agency, she feels like a new woman. And her warm personality soon wins the admiration of her colleagues, with the exception of Ann Oliver, an extravagant snob and the only other black employee. When their co-workers begin to confuse the two black women, Trudy gets an idea.

At first, her deception merely involves a few high-priced lunches on Ann's company credit card - but it soon expands, and when Ann unexpectedly resigns, Trudy's spree goes to the next level. Now she's leading a glamourous double life - Ann's life - complete with a secret apartment where she brings the men she meets at upscale bars. But when she brings home the wrong man - one who has an angry score to settle with Ann - she finds she may have to pay the highest price of all...
