When a fairytale fantasy night becomes a nightmare, Chessa Paxton must run for her life...but will the truth set her free? Chessa Paxton, an event planner in Lake Tahoe, celebrates a successful night at the Happily Ever After Ball, but her dream quickly becomes a nightmare when she wakes up beside the body of her dead husband. Nauseous and confused, feeling as if she's been drugged, she can't explain to the sheriff why her princess costume is bloodied.

A mother he thought he’d lost. A father he’s never known. An enemy that wants them dead. After a rebellious youth, Chase Day did his best to turn his life around—first as a Naval officer and then as history professor at a boutique Bay Area college. That all changes when the mother he thought had been dead for thirty years begs him to help her. His heart gets ripped to shreds again when he finds her dying from a gunshot wound. In her last breath, she urges him to protect the father he’s never met.

When Kayla Macintyre discovers her twin sister Ashley brutally murdered, grief quickly gives way to terror—because Kayla was the real target. A case of mistaken identity fools the police into thinking she’s the one who died, and Kayla seizes the chance to disappear into her sister’s glamorous life as a supermodel. It’s a dangerous gamble for a tech-savvy, adrenaline-chasing computer repair specialist with zero fashion sense.
