Description

Liz Dawson moves effortlessly among the wealthy and powerful, skillfully navigating high society and charming everyone she meets. Her sharp mind, effortless charm, and uncanny ability to form instant connections make her the perfect professional con artist.

Now Liz has her sights set on Isabelle Beresford, an exceptionally wealthy, captivating young woman who just purchased Casa Esmerelda, a luxurious villa on Mexico’s glittering coastline. When Isabelle offers Liz a seemingly simple job—overseeing the installation of an expensive work of art in the empty oceanfront property—Liz jumps at the chance. She sees the assignment as the perfect opportunity for a much-needed fresh start and a chance to finally leave behind her addictive life of deceit.

But from the moment Liz, with her striking beauty, rich dark hair, and vibrant green eyes, is mistaken for Isabelle herself, temptation proves irresistible. Sliding smoothly into Isabelle’s glamorous identity feels so natural that Liz begins believing it might actually be fate. Yet questions linger—who exactly is Isabelle Beresford, and why did she mysteriously leave her extravagant lifestyle behind?

As Liz becomes more deeply entangled in the alluring yet deceptive world of the Punta Mita resort community, she discovers sinister truths lurking beneath its dazzling surface. Soon, she realizes that the threats surrounding Isabelle Beresford may now target her as well. This elaborate charade isn’t just another con—this one might cost her life.

Written by actress, director, and bestselling author Krysten Ritter, this twist-filled thriller delves deeply into questions of identity and obsession, taking readers on a gripping and suspenseful journey through lies, luxury, and the dangerous allure of deception.
