The Innocent Behind the Scandal (The Marchetti Dynasty 2)
Their life was about to expand and get even more hectic. If Zoe stopped to think for a moment she felt breathless. This much love? This much happiness? It was a risk, for sure, but it was a risk she would take over and over again. Because the reward was beyond anything she could ever have imagined.
‘Home?’ Maks asked.
Zoe looked up and saw their world reflected in his loving gaze. She deserved this. They both did. And everything would be fine.
She smiled. ‘Home.’

CHAPTER ONE
‘GIVEN YOU’VE NOT BOTHERED to reply to any earlier messages, don’t bother coming back at all.’
Jade Monroyale shivered as that stern dismissal echoed in her head, but for once in her life she was going to disobey a direct order. She strode along the Manhattan pavement in her travel-stale clothes, masking her nerves as she wheeled the one small suitcase she’d been able to bring with her. The number of people heading to work was amazing, given it was still very early and so cold her fingers and toes were numb. She’d have loved a hot shower, but, having heard that message only an hour ago, she’d known she had no time to waste. She had to get to the office and fix things.
‘Don’t bother.’
His low tone had been underlined by an edge of danger. Authoritative and uncompromising, his anger had been barely leashed. Jade knew that kind of man well—impatient, dismissive, arrogant. But there’d been another frisson in his voice—a passion that had alarmed her more than the accusation had.
Navigating the subway had been something else. She’d run her sister’s MetroCard the wrong way a few times before figuring it out. Swiping cards through machines ought to be something anyone could do but, as Queen of a prosperous, albeit small, European country, Jade Monroyale had never carried either cash or cards before. Her father had deemed it unnecessary given destiny dictated her future. She was ‘different’, she had a ‘rare duty’...and he’d ensured she never forgot it. But now she felt a very different duty. Her twin needed her help.
‘Juno? This is Alvaro Byrne.’
He’d introduced himself brusquely as he’d left the last of the many messages on Juno’s phone. A couple of workmates and her immediate manager had left several, but Alvaro Byrne—the CEO himself—had left just that last one.
Juno, Jade’s younger sister by a mere two minutes, had lived here in New York for more than a decade, the identical twins separated by much more than their parents’ traumatic divorce. But for the first time Jade was in a position to be able to help Juno. She was not having her sister’s job lost because of a lapse in communication. Her twin hadn’t been able to respond to those calls because she’d been travelling. She hadn’t even heard them. Jade was so glad Juno didn’t understand the degree to which her job was in peril. And if Jade could finesse it, she need never know. All Jade had to do was pull off this impersonation to perfection...
Yes, their twin switch was crazy—especially considering they’d not been together for years and knew so little of each other’s daily lives—but it was worth the risk. Juno desperately needed time in Monrova. While Jade?
Finally, for just a few weeks, she’d be free.
