An heiress.
A millionaire.
The perfect arrangement.

Houston heiress Elizabeth Stanton lost nearly everything when a stunning betrayal by her ex-husband left her with only a fraction of the fortune her genteel Southern family had worked so hard for. Even now Mimosa Landing, Elizabeth's beloved home, could be stripped away unless she comes up with a serious infusion of cash.

When brilliant self-made millionaire Maxwell Reardon approaches her with an audacious solution to her financial woes, Elizabeth is speechless. His proposal will certainly solve her problems, but it will set Houston society on its ear.

Now it's up to Elizabeth to decide if this is a deal with the devil, or the best decision of her life.

If looks could kill ...

A serial killer is targeting the women of Miers, Colorado, and so far the police have nothing to go on. Detective Casey O'Toole is assigned to jump-start the investigation, and she discovers two unsettling facts: the victims were all patients of a prominent plastic surgeon, and each of them bears an uncanny resemblance to herself.

Ruled out as a suspect, Dr. Mark Adams offers to assist Casey in any way he can and, despite her resistance, their relationship quickly turns personal. The pressure on Casey to find the killer mounts steadily as terror grips the small mountain community. Then a stunning twist leads Casey to the deadly truth -- and to the face of a killer nearly as familiar as her own.
