Identical twins, Brea and Beth, get mistaken for each other all the time. But this is the first time it's happened at the scene of a fatal car accident.

At first, Brea tries to tell the truth—that she's not Beth—but her jaw's wired shut after the crash, and no one will listen.

Long dissatisfied with her life, Brea assumes Beth's identity. It's a crazy idea, but if you're flawed enough, you can justify almost anything. Sure, Brea promised to take care of her sister's kids if something like this ever happened—after all, it's what Beth would want—but would she want Brea to "take care" of her cardiologist husband, too?

Soon the lies Brea is forced to tell others to maintain the facade are nothing compared to the lies she's telling the mirror. When an old flame confides in "Beth" that Brea was the one who got away and she discovers the depth of her sister's betrayal, the world flips on its axis.

Tangled in a web of duplicity, Brea is faced with an impossible decision—reclaim her life, or live out her days in a cloud of deception.Claudia Whitsitt was a teacher before she became an author. She loves children and smiles every time someone reads one of her books.

Reviews for Black Ice:

“Told in a way that allows the reader to really go deep into the main character's psyche as well as into the minds and motivations of several other characters, Black Ice is a total page-turner that I highly recommend.” ETC

“I couldn’t put it down, waiting to see what would happen next. I am a big fan of Claudia Whitsitt’s books, and looking forward to her next one.” Jean

“I was hooked right away into the nightmare Brea experiences as she makes life altering decisions for the people she loves! The author leads you on a journey of truths, half truths, and perceptions of the characters as they struggle to make sense of the changes in their lives. The plot twists were so unexpected and kept me guessing. I wanted to reach out and hold Brea's hand and heart as she made the most important decisions of her life. I hope there is a sequel so we can know more about what happened in the lives of these characters. This was a compelling read and I ended up reading it into the night because I just had to know how this twisted story ended. A must read!” Pamela
