Elizabethan Mischief

Kate Collins and Meg Collins were born on the same day, in the same house, and conceived by the same parents – twins in every way except color.

Kate and Simon Resonne fell in love over her Mauritanian-descended mother's tagine pot and always knew they'd marry. The day she comes face to face with an unknown twin sister Meg and white grandfather is also the day Simon breaks Kate's heart. She buries her hurt in anger and silence. Her sister Meg suspects there is more to Simon's decision than meets the eye and she is determined to ferret out the truth to reunite the lovers.

A lady in waiting to Elizabeth Tudor, Meg knows she'll be forced to wed the suitor with the largest purse or political advantage. Therefore, she doesn't believe in love at first sight—at least not until the Moroccan Ambassador Mohammad ben al-Annuri strolls into Elizabeth's court on a diplomatic mission. For al-Annuri falling in love with Meg is an unexpected distraction but a chance he's willing to take. For the first time in her life, Meg finds herself ready to challenge the rules to follow her heart.

In a world where intrigues and plots abound, the couples find their lives and love threatened by a grandfather's dark secrets. In a race against time, Kate and Meg must put their trust in Simon and Mohammad as they join forces to stop a deadly plot. On the way, the sisters discover all is fair in love and spying.
