Riassunto
Two dazzling sisters. One plays by the rules. The other lives her wild-card dreams on blast. But in this sizzling, twist-filled tale, they must help the exploited by putting their troubled relationship--and very different lives--on the line.
Sisters from Trinidad, Violet and Lily have never had much in common. Gorgeous Lily is an undocumented immigrant making it any way she wants. But Violet is this close to the perfect assimilated life, thanks to a prestigious job, and her rich bougie fiancé. . . . Until she aids a woman in trouble, and is mistaken for a notorious strip-club mogul's mistress. And when she's wrongly accused of helping him embezzle millions of his workers' earnings, Violet loses everything--except the determination to get her life back.
Now Violet's on his track with the help of the Lower East Side Women's Health Clinic's resourceful staff, his vengeful ex-wife--and Lily. But a dashing longtime friend hungering for Violet's love, along with the mogul's all-too-real psychotic mistress, put the group's killer schemes at risk. And as Violet and Lily struggle to finally understand each other, they have only one shot to get justice for those who need it most.
