The Secret Heiress is a dynamic novel, written by Judith Gould, and one of the best books I've read in a
very long time. From the first page the reader is drawn into a tension filled novel with enough suspense to keep
you on the edge of your seat. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I was totally engrossed in this story from
the very beginning.
Nikos Papadaki separates his identical twin daughters (Ariadne and Nikoletta) at birth because he believes having
twin heiresses is a Greek curse.
He keeps the twin he believes to be the "good" one (Nikoletta) and gives away the one he believes to be the "bad"
one (Adriadne). The twins are raised worlds apart and know nothing of each other's existence.
He is right that one is good and one is evil but he makes the wrong choice when he keeps Nickoletta. Nickoletta
is as evil as evil can be. She is a woman without a conscience, without a soul - a true monster! Ariadne, on the
other hand, is kind, intelligent and well-liked. She is the opposite of Nickoletta.
When Nickoletta goes out of control and becomes a threat to the Papadaki empire a switch is made. Ariadne takes
control of both PPHL and Nickoletta's identity and works to repair the damage Nickoletta has caused to the company.
