Lucan buys the Mirage Theatre and its crown act: Lena and Livia Noir, queens of a hypnotic illusion show built on twin-swaps and precision misdirection. Opening week, a dancer is found dead. A lipstick command smears the mirror—Confess—and the backstage feeds go dark. Whispers name a syndicate boss called the Cardinal. Headlines want the sisters’ blood.
Lucan locks the house, upgrades every bolt and bulb, and steps into their choreography—onstage and off. The twins pull him into a plan written in sleight of hand: double-walks through mirror corridors, jeweled compacts that hide damning microdrives, and a Red Room no one admits exists. Together they design a sting that can only run live: turn the vanity wall into a trap, make the city their witness, and force the real confession under the brightest lights in Vegas.
But the Cardinal hunts with cameras and proxies, and the next “confess” could be carved into a coffin. To win, three hearts must move as one—trust tight, timing tighter—while desire threatens to blow the cue.
Glamorous, high-heat why-choose romantic suspense packed with showbiz intrigue, mirror-maze twists, and a heist that plays out in real time. For readers of protector billionaires, dangerous backstage secrets, and triads that choose each other—jackpot HEA guaranteed.
