"A sweet romance -- can identical twins sharing an identity untangle their love lives?"

Newspaper reporter Rick Orlando has been assigned to cover a romance convention of all things! His editor insists that it will be informative and also assigns Rick to interview local romance writer Lace Kincaid. Rick insists his good friend, photographer Penny Ritmeyer, cover the story with him.

Lace Kincaid is actually two people. Identical twins Ashley and Lexi have been sharing the job for years. Shy Ashley does all of the writing, while outgoing Lexi handles the promotion, contracts, and personal appearances. But each twin is starting to feel constricted by her role and both want to spread their wings a little.

Rick secretly has a thing for redheads, so when he first sees auburn-haired Lace Kincaid, he's excited. But he finds Lace to be abrasive with her overt sensuality. So he's shocked when he meets with her that night and finds her to be more like the woman of his dreams. Soft and sweet, she's nothing like the "public" Lace. Rick could easily fall in love with the "private" Lace.

Penny is suspicious of Lace, thinking that Lace is just stringing Rick along for a good interview. She only sees the public Lace, so she's aware that Lace has a thing for a certain male cover model. Can she catch Lace with the cover model, proving to Rick that Lace isn't who she seems?

Of course, the reader knows that the public Lace is Lexi and the private Lace is Ashley. But how long can the charade go on? Mistaken identities abound in this comic novel. A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN is a sweet romance.

Summary

Best-selling romance novelist Lace Kincaid is the darling of the romance industry. But Lace Kincaid has a secret. She doesn't really exist.

Ashley and her identical twin sister Alexis are the writing team behind the pseudonym. Ashley, the quiet and demure twin, writes the best-selling books, while Lexi handles marketing and promotion, as well as outrageously playing the diva role of "Lace Kincaid" at public events.

On the eve of receiving the prestigious Crystal Quill Award, their charade is about to come crashing down. While trying to keep the truth from handsome journalist Rick Orlando, Ashley and Lexi get caught up in a complicated deception that puts both their careers and love lives in jeopardy.
