Uncovered

My name is Lizzie Connelly, and I have it all. The gorgeous apartment. The new job most women would rip out their own souls for—working for Margaret Emerson at Emerson & Taylor. The thing is, that life is a lie. An elaborate façade.

It all started with one call. “Everything you know about your story—your father’s story—is a lie.” One call, and I turned my world upside down to dig my way into Margaret’s life. The plan was simple—figure out what role she played in my father’s death and expose her to the world. But here’s another thing: simplicity doesn’t exist, and my plans are flawed from the beginning because I never anticipated Oliver. Sexy, too smart for his own good, and infuriating, he’s the one person who could blow my plans to uncover Margaret. She’s his mother, and in another life, that would have made him my stepbrother.

I want to pretend that none of that matters, that I can simply finish what I came to do without sparing him a second glance and another thought.

Like I said, there’s no such thing as simplicity.

My real name is Gemma Emerson. And this is my story.
