A Face Like His
“She signed her name. She sealed her fate. But she never agreed to be owned. Beatrice Hale had everything until the day her father's shipping empire collapsed under the weight of a forty-one-million-dollar debt. Now she has nothing but a contract: marry Sebastian Cole, the cold, possessive heir of the Cole dynasty, and her father's debts will be forgiven. She signs. She wears the ring. She plays the perfect wife at galas and dinners and charity luncheons. But behind the closed doors of Harrow Point, Sebastian gives her nothing but ice and possession. He calls her "my wife" the way people say "my car." He locks his study. He controls her calendar. He takes what he wants and gives nothing back. Then Sebastian leaves for Singapore. And a man with his face climbs into her bed. He is gentle where Sebastian is cruel. He listens where Sebastian dismisses. He asks permission. He remembers how she takes her tea. He calls her remarkable. He is Edward Cole, Sebastian's identical twin brother, his bitter rival, and the man who has been secretly in love with Beatrice since before her wedding. For three nights, while Sebastian is away, Edward wears his brother's face and gives Beatrice the tenderness she has been starving for. She doesn't know. When she discovers the truth, watching her husband on a live television broadcast from Singapore while a man with his face sleeps in her bed-her world collapses. Both brothers have lied. Both have used her. Both have treated her as a prize in their decades-long war. Now Beatrice must decide: stay in the gilded cage with one of them, or walk away with nothing but her name and a notebook full of memories. But there is a third player in this game: Harold Cole, the father, the architect of everything. He didn't just want a wife for his son. He wanted a weapon. And he believes Beatrice is the only person who can burn the Cole house down. A Face Like His Has Two Keys is a story of forbidden love, identity deception, and one woman's fight to reclaim her own name.”
