An Oscar-winning actress. A deal with the devil. A secret that could burn the world to the ground.
Sloane Devereaux was once Hollywood's golden girl, an Oscar winner with the world at her feet. Now, at thirty, she's a ghost-blacklisted, broke, and one month from eviction. When a mysterious offer arrives from a reclusive Swiss tech billionaire, it's a lifeline she can't refuse: one hundred million dollars to impersonate his dead wife, Livia, a woman who is Sloane's perfect, genetic double.
The role is simple: for six months, live in a glass fortress in the Alps, play the part of the grieving widow, and fool the world. But within the cold, silent walls of the Argentis estate, Sloane discovers a terrifying truth in Livia's secret diary: her predecessor's death in a tragic accident was a cold-blooded execution.
Now, Sloane is a pawn in a deadly game of global conspiracy, hunted by Roman Lazar, a charming, ruthless puppet master who controls the world's most powerful people through a secret surveillance network. Trapped in a gilded cage and surrounded by enemies, her only hope is Nico Sorrento, a silent, lethal bodyguard with a mysterious past of his own.
To survive, Sloane must give the performance of a lifetime, transforming from a counterfeit wife into a warrior. She must finish the war Livia started, even if it means becoming a ghost for good. But in a world where everyone is watching, the only way to win is to uncover a secret so explosive it will either set her free... or get her killed.
A blistering, high-stakes romantic suspense novel perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, the pulse-pounding action of Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, and the glamorous, globe-trotting intrigue of Sidney Sheldon. The Counterfeit Wife is a relentless, page-turning thriller about the price of a second chance and the terrifying power of secrets in a world that's always watching.
