Twisted Shadows
by Patricia Potter

Samantha Carroll's world is turned upside down when the life she always thought was perfect turns out to be a lie. When two cold-eyed men enter her western art gallery, she learns that her biological father is an ailing crime boss who now wants to see her...whether she wants to see him or not. Not only that, she has a twin brother she's never known about.

FBI Special Agent Nathan McLean is convinced that Nicholas Merritta, the son of a crime boss, is laundering money for this father--and McLean has plenty of reasons to take down the entire crime family. What he didn't plan on was falling in love with Nick's twin sister, Samantha.

Nick Merritta is the heir apparent to the crime family, though for years, he's visibly shunned his family's organized crime interests, started a successful business, and tried to outrun his past. He'd believed his mother and sister dead for nearly three decades, but Samantha's unexpected appearance ignites a series of events that threatens to destroy them all.

The past is with you. Always.
