Blurb
War veteran Dawson Trudeau never expected his estranged
identical twin to walk into his bar in Alaska, let alone offer him twenty
million dollars to pose as the CEO of King Enterprises while he secretly heads
to rehab for thirty days. With dreams of starting a homeless shelter for
veterans and locating his retired service dog from Afghanistan, Dawson can’t
say no. Then he meets his brother’s sexy assistant and he hopes she can’t say
no—some overtime between the sheets.
Lacey Brooks isn’t attracted to her metro-sexual boss, but
his rough and ready identical twin is just her type. When lust turns into love,
she fears she is betraying the CEO. If she can navigate the family feud to
ensure a spot-on impersonation by Dawson, she’ll finally be promoted to
VP.
If they can pull off the masquerade, everyone wins. But once
the thirty days is over will victory matter if they don’t have each
other?

Identical twins who've only met once? How did that happen? You'll need to read it to find out. You'd think it would be the one without money, a shaky business, an unknown who'd be seeking help from the billionaire. Not the case. Nope. He needs someone to be him while he goes into rehab. Announcing it could damage the company. Dawson would normally refuse. Money wasn't important to him. However, setting up a shelter for vets, getting his service dog he'd partnered with in Afganistan back to adopt was important. The money offered would do both. Not to mention thirty days side by side with the hot redhead assistant. He planned on some nights as well.
Could they pull it off with two men whose only thing in common is their looks? When the assistant becomes more, can they succeed and part without leaving their hearts behind? Is there another way?
I enjoyed the romance, the realization that things were not all Dawson thought with the brother who got it all. Just maybe all was too much.
This is Dawson's story. His brother's story will follow and I'll be reading it too.

Excerpt
Lacey Brooks schooled her features to hide her shock. The beast behind the bar couldn’t be Aaron’s twin brother.
Shaggy. Unkempt. Rough.
She’d been expecting her boss’ mirror image, not someone who crawled out of the Alaskan bush.
But as she drew closer she could see there was more than a resemblance underneath the beard and past-the-shoulder length mane.
Never trust a man with longer hair than you.
Never trust a man period.
Keeping his brother a secret from the world was one thing but how had Aaron managed to keep it from her?
She knew everything about the CEO of King Enterprises. Everything.
Lacey wasn’t just his assistant, she was his confidant, his therapist, his sometime tennis partner, and his friend. But if he kept this secret, what else was he hiding? Like the reason for the cloak and dagger maneuvers, which he’d dismissed as unimportant.
Was it a family feud? A scandal?
Or was Dawson dangerous? A criminal? He certainly looked like it. His icy blue gaze roamed her body as if he owned it, reminding her of Aaron right before he was about to close a deal—a predator. Not a like shark, for they attack on instinct. This was more like a wolf, toying with his prey before sinking his teeth into the neck of its dinner.
“Lacey, I’d like you to meet my long lost brother, Dawson.”
“I look forward to working with you, darling.”
Darling? Ugh.
That twangy accent? Double ugh.
The physical makeover would be the easy part. Taming the he-man into a sophisticated owner of a billion dollar corporation in a day would be impossible.
