Elena Kenneth has always believed she was born into a perfect family. Her father, Kenneth, was the man she looked up to most. Her mother loved her deeply, and despite losing her at a young age, Elena grew up believing she knew where she came from and who she could trust. She was wrong. Nineteen years ago, her mother died and left behind a secret that would change the lives of two little girls. Elena grew up surrounded by love. Her twin sister, Selene, grew up surrounded by hate. Taken away as a baby and raised by Martin Lockward, Selene was taught to see Elena as the daughter who took everything from her. While Elena was given a family, Selene was trained to become something else—a weapon capable of killing without hesitation. For nineteen years, Martin filled Selene’s head with lies, jealousy and resentment. Then everything begins to unravel. Elena discovers that her parents have been hiding a mysterious panel and a diary. Before she can learn what they contain, her father is involved in a terrible accident. Everyone believes Kenneth is dead. Even Elena. But Kenneth actually survives. Badly injured and trapped in a hospital, he comes face-to-face with the man responsible for the secrets that have haunted his family for years. Meanwhile, Martin has another plan. He sends his son, Daniel Lockward, to get close to Elena and spy on her. Daniel knows exactly why he has been sent. Elena doesn’t. What begins as an assignment becomes complicated when Daniel falls in love with the girl he was supposed to betray. He knows she is connected to his father’s enemy. He knows he is supposed to be watching her. But every day he spends with Elena makes it harder to remember why he was sent to her in the first place. And while Daniel struggles between his father’s orders and his feelings, Selene is being prepared for something far more dangerous. She has spent nineteen years believing Elena is the reason her life was stolen from her. She doesn’t know that Elena is her sister. She doesn’t know that the people she hates are connected to her own past. And she certainly doesn’t know that the man she calls her father has been lying to her since the day she was born. When the diary begins revealing pieces of the past and the mysterious panel threatens to expose what Kenneth and Martin have spent nineteen years hiding, the lives of the two sisters begin moving toward each other. Elena wants to know what really happened to her family. Selene wants revenge against the girl she has been taught to hate. Daniel wants to protect the woman he was sent to destroy. And Martin will do anything to keep the truth buried. Because once Elena discovers that her father is still alive, that Daniel was sent to spy on her, and that the enemy she has been warned about all her life is actually her own twin sister… There will be nowhere left for their lies to hide. Two sisters. One buried truth. A love that began with betrayal. And a family built on lies.
