How did one process the fact that one had a sister—an identical tho’d been raised all these years on a ranch in New Mexico by a father Jordan had never known? A father she would never know because he’d died a year ago

The whole situation was straight out of a Disney ed him until he’d shown her the birth certificates She and Madison had been born in Santa Fe She was older than her twin by almost four minutes

Fitzwalter had also shown her a wedding license Eva Ware had married Michael Farrell approximately eleven months before she and Madison had been born

I the paperwork, she’d looked Madison Farrell up on Google and begun a file on the sister she’d never met Within an hour, she’d amassed quite a bit of information Her sister went by the na a rancher, her tas an up-and-coner in Santa Fe And except for a difference in hair styles, she and Maddie could have been es of each other

What would her sister be like? Would they have anything in common? From the looks of her Web site, Maddie had inherited theirjewelry Had Jordan inherited her father’s talent for business?

Jordan sighed Instead of answering her questions, her research had only brought more Why had their parents separated them? Why had they been kept apart all these years? Why had her mother told her that her father died shortly after she was born? Would her sister have any answers?

Pushing back a fresh wave of frustration, Jordan whirled to glance back at the house It still seeht now Today Jordan had faithfully followed their old routine, taking the train fro a taxi She’d even stopped in Linchworth and checked in to the suite she and Eva always stayed in

Why? Oh, she’d told herself it was so she had so of the will so that they could talk privately In spite of her aunt and uncle’s help with the funeral, she didn’t think that the faed But she wondered if she’d followed her o and accepting her death

And ould Maddie Farrell make of the family dynamics? To say the Ware family wasn’t close-knit was an understatement Jordan rarely saw her uncle or aunt, and the only reason she saw her cousin Adans

The sound of a sports car roaring up the driveway drew her attention Speak of the devil, she thought as her cousin Adam braked in front of the house

Sending him a little wave, she et inside—depending on how quick Lane was to answer the door

It had opened just a crack when a car door slammed behind her “Jordan, wait up I want a ith you”

Adam Ware sounded annoyed Jordan couldn’t reone to work for Eva Ware Designs that he hadn’t

By the time Lane had fully opened the door, Ada to pull?”

Jordan tamped down on her annoyance and sent her cousin another s of my mother’s will” Then she shifted her smile to the butler “Good afternoon, Lane”

The butler, who’d always rehtly and stepped aside “Ms Jordan, Mr Adaathered with Mr Fitzwalter in the library”

“Has my sister arrived?” Jordan asked

“Not yet”

“Your sister,” Adam snorted “That’s the very person I want to have a ith you about” He urged her through an open doorway to the left

With an inward sigh, Jordan gathered what patience she could Ever since she’d joined Eva Ware Designs, Aday she’d proposed During the three years he’d worked alone with her ree, her cousin had come to expect that he would one day take over and run Eva Ware Designs And for some reason, her presence in the company had made him paranoid

She’d tried to approach him on a rational level and pointed out that their talents lay in different areas—that while he brought his design expertise to the co she said or did seee his fear

Eva hadrivalry and gone back to work But each ti ideas, Adam had seemed to feel more and more threatened
