A Distant Shore — Kathern Shaw

An innocent charade...
When scheming Emily Worth found herself with two suitors on the same day, her gentle twin, Elizabeth, foolishly agreed to impersonate her. Convinced that an afternoon with breathtaking Randall Thorpe was harmless, Elizabeth played the part of "Emily" too well, and was devastated when the handsome shipping magnate asked for her sister's hand. Elizabeth's ruse had cost her a chance at love--until a misunderstanding provided an irresistible opportunity to be with the man who had stolen her heart...Or a web of deceit? Randall couldn't understand what happened to the charming and desirable woman he'd courted. Once married, "Emily" became cruel and vindictive. Spiriting her away from the London social life she loved seemed like a fitting punishment, but once at sea his "wife" was again the sweet woman he had pursued. Determined to puzzle out his wife's strange behavior, Randall was unwilling to settle for anything less than the truth about the woman he loved so passionately...
