Cobi Winslow, a well-educated district attorney, finds his life increasingly complicated after he chooses to look up his estranged twin brother, Eric Reed, a career criminal raised in the foster care system, and learns that his inheritance and the security of the family business depends on a condition that betrays Cobi's sexuality.
With verve and tenderness, Harris and Johnson write of two men - Cobi Winslow, a gay, educated, affluent social climber and Eric Reed, a straight, career criminal raised in the foster care system - who, separated as young children, reunite upon their parents' death after thirty years apart. With social and economic factors threatening to force them apart again, Cobi and Eric's desire to be a family is tested at every turn. Full of drama and twists, this modern day 'Prince and the Pauper' novel explores the limits of love and loyalty.
