Twin sisters Waverly and Charlie Talbot have drifted far apart as they pursue opposite dreams of stardom and service to the poor. Now they must come together to face their fears, find their courage, and fight for what they love.

Celebrity chef Waverly Talbot has built a successful career with her home-entertaining show Simply Perfect. Yet she and her husband, Andrew, have never been able to realize the true desire of Waverly's heart: to become a mother. Meanwhile Waverly's twin sister, Charlie, buries her bitter disappointment and shattered idealism beneath a life spent serving others as an international aid worker in Budapest, Hungary.

When the beloved aunt who raised them passes away, Waverly and Charlie come together in their grief after living years on separate continents. Struck by a fierce desire to bridge the distance between them, Charlie offers Waverly and her husband the selfless gift of surrogacy.

But soon the sisters find they are each in danger of losing their jobs, seemingly putting their dreams on hold once again. When Waverly shows up unannounced in Budapest with a plan to rescue Simply Perfect, the sisters embark on an adventure across central Europe that could save them both from occupational hazards. Though the twins haven't had to rely on each other since childhood, a dramatic turn in their journey forces them to stand together to save their careers, the baby, and each other.

      Close as children, sisters Waverly and Charlie Talbot have gone their separate ways as adults. Waverly pursued her dream of becoming a celebrity chef and now hosts the successful TV show Simply Perfect. Charlie lives in Budapest, Hungary, and works for an international aid group dealing with human trafficking. Reunited for the funeral of their aunt, the two realize how much they have missed and needed each other. Waverly is shocked when her sister offers to help her by becoming a surrogate for the child Waverly cannot conceive. But when both discover that they may lose their careers, Waverly and Charlie band together and embark on an adventure across Central Europe. VERDICT Linden (Ascension of Larks) tackles the issue of sex trafficking deftly and with sensitivity. Provocative prose and a twisty plot will engage readers. Devotees of Elin Hilderbrand and Catherine West will appreciate this one.
