About the book

Diana Harrington shared nothing with her twin sister Demanda... except their incomparable beauty. Diana was sweet and virtuous; Demanda was swept up in scandal from the moment she arrived in London -- wedding the Earl of Weston's younger brother only to have him lose his life in a duel over her honor. No wonder the earl's family had thrown her out. Then fate stepped in. After an accident that left her unconscious, Diana awoke in the Earl of Weston's estate... and discovered she was no longer herself. That is to say, everyone thought she was Demanda. Diana meant to set things right -- until she overheard a plot to murder the handsome earl. To uncover the villains, she had to pretend to be her sister. But she couldn't disguise her breathless delight each time Weston came near. Now, to save him, Diana had to live another woman's life and risk her own in a masquerade where love was the greatest danger of all...
