But on the steamship crossing the Atlantic, she meets Carina Dorshlin—her uncanny double—bound for an unwelcome future on her uncle’s California cattle ranch. Desperate to escape their fates, the two girls make a daring choice, exchanging identities.

As Marrin begins her new life under Carina’s name, she finds unexpected safety, belonging, and love with a kind-hearted cowboy named George. But her fragile masquerade shatters when Carina’s ruthless brother, Alard, arrives and recognizes her as an imposter. A wanted outlaw with secrets of his own, Alard threatens to expose her.

With her freedom, her heart, and her future at risk, Marrin must decide whether to cling to her deception—or risk losing everything by telling the truth.
