Karin Sommers isn't her dead sister. She just pretends to be.
But she's good with living a lie if it means leaving her fugitive grifter days behind. And the sisters had been fiercely protective of one another—Ellen would certainly understand Karin's pretense as the best way to hide from a dangerous past.
Except it turns out that Ellen had her own deadly secrets, her own reasons for living so quietly on a small farmstead in the Blue Ridge Mountains. And now Karin's borrowed identity might just be the death of her.
But ahh, not quite yet.
Because Karin may have rejected her con girl upbringing, but she still has the touch. She knows just how to mislead the private operative who comes hunting her sister—even if neither has any idea that the past now hunts them both. And even if it means playing the most dangerous long game she's ever imagined…
A Reviewer's Choice romantic suspense from an eclectic award-winning author.
"SURVIVAL INSTINCT by Doranna Durgin is nonstop action from start to finish. Using a former con artist as the main character in a story is a novel idea. The characters are flawed, yet still likeable. Kudos to Durgin for an excellent book."
