Blurb
War veteran Dawson Trudeau never expected his estranged
identical twin to walk into his bar in Alaska, let alone offer him twenty
million dollars to pose as the CEO of King Enterprises while he secretly heads
to rehab for thirty days. With dreams of starting a homeless shelter for
veterans and locating his retired service dog from Afghanistan, Dawson can’t
say no. Then he meets his brother’s sexy assistant and he hopes she can’t say
no—some overtime between the sheets.
Lacey Brooks isn’t attracted to her metro-sexual boss, but
his rough and ready identical twin is just her type. When lust turns into love,
she fears she is betraying the CEO. If she can navigate the family feud to
ensure a spot-on impersonation by Dawson, she’ll finally be promoted to
VP.
If they can pull off the masquerade, everyone wins. But once
the thirty days is over will victory matter if they don’t have each
other?

Excerpt
Lacey Brooks schooled her features to hide her shock. The beast behind the bar couldn’t be Aaron’s twin brother.
Shaggy. Unkempt. Rough.
She’d been expecting her boss’ mirror image, not someone who crawled out of the Alaskan bush.
But as she drew closer she could see there was more than a resemblance underneath the beard and past-the-shoulder length mane.
Never trust a man with longer hair than you.
Never trust a man period.
Keeping his brother a secret from the world was one thing but how had Aaron managed to keep it from her?
She knew everything about the CEO of King Enterprises. Everything.
Lacey wasn’t just his assistant, she was his confidant, his therapist, his sometime tennis partner, and his friend. But if he kept this secret, what else was he hiding? Like the reason for the cloak and dagger maneuvers, which he’d dismissed as unimportant.
Was it a family feud? A scandal?
Or was Dawson dangerous? A criminal? He certainly looked like it. His icy blue gaze roamed her body as if he owned it, reminding her of Aaron right before he was about to close a deal—a predator. Not a like shark, for they attack on instinct. This was more like a wolf, toying with his prey before sinking his teeth into the neck of its dinner.
“Lacey, I’d like you to meet my long lost brother, Dawson.”
“I look forward to working with you, darling.”
Darling? Ugh.
That twangy accent? Double ugh.
The physical makeover would be the easy part. Taming the he-man into a sophisticated owner of a billion dollar corporation in a day would be impossible.
My Review
This is the first book by Liz I have read and I really enjoyed it. This book is about identical twins that were separated at birth. They meet once before but it wasn’t a happy meeting. Now Dawson Trudeau is approached by his estranged twin Aaron King and asked to pretend to be him while Aaron goes to rehab. It is an offer Dawson can’t turn down. It will help him find the service dog he worked with while in the military and help him start a shelter for homeless veterans. Then he meets Aaron’s assistant Lacey. One look is all it takes for Dawson. Lacey doesn’t want her boss at all but Dawson is a whole other story. While they boys are identical twins they couldn’t be more different personality wise. The next thirty days are going to be interesting for both Lacey and Dawson. Will they be able to pull it off? What will happen at the end of those thirty days? This book was a great, funny, romantic read. Lacey does her best to fight her feelings for Dawson. Dawson is torn. He wants Lacey but fears that he isn’t good enough for her and that she deserves more than what he can give her. There is definitely angst between Aaron, Dawson, and their father. I look forward to reading the second book in this duet. I would love to read more about Lacey and Dawson as well. I look forward to reading more books by Liz in the future.
