As far as Alix is concerned, she has no past—she only has today, and her plans for the future: raising a dynamic string of racehorses that will take the 1830s British racing world by storm. Then Lily, Alix’s estranged twin sister, forces Alix into a position that will drastically alter the course of her life. Spoiled, selfish Lily is the wife of an English lord who she married for his money and social standing, but she has just discovered that she is expecting a child—the result of her most recent affair—and she concocts a complex scheme to change places with Alix until arrangements for the infant’s care can be made. As Lily’s husband, Nicholas, grows increasingly suspicious about her true identity, Alix begins to have nightmares about the past she has forgotten. Desperate to unravel the mystery, she finally seeks the aid of her uncle—and sparks a quest to reclaim the family’s former life in France.
