About the book
It was a case of mistaken identity; Emma was sure of that. Yet there seemed to be no way to convince this stunningly handsome man with the Western drawl that she was not some woman named 'Cosy'. Whoever the mysterious Cosy was, Birck Dryden needed find her quickly -- and Emma found herself slightly envious. Brick's compelling mixture of arrogance and charm was actually rather attractive. But taking Cosy's place, as Brick suggested -- that was out of the question. Emma wouldn't even think twice about it...or would she? This book is unusual in that the 'Cosy' Birck is looking for is actually Emma's identical twin sister; both were separated and adopted when young, so had never met or knew about each other. Birck is engaged to Cosy who is a journalist and needs her to complete interviews on a documentary project. He later claims to Emma his engagement was fake for the sake of Cosy's adopted father, yet he knows what Cosy looks like naked, when he walks in to Emma's room one day, while she's dressing and comments he's seen her naked plenty of times!?!?!?!?!!? When Emma finally goes to bed with him at some point, the next morning, Birck calls her Cosy....not a very believable HEA for this one.
