About This Book

Two sisters become entangled in an identity deception when one allows a suitor to believe she is the other, and the woman assuming that name bears the burden of a flirtatious reputation in Paris. Their return to London amplifies misunderstandings as romantic rivals, questions of identification, a seriously injured Englishman, legal papers, and a theatrical personality complicate matters. Secrets and suspicions spread through social circles, prompting investigations and confrontations that force revelations about loyalty, responsibility, and the costs of maintaining a false identity.
