She didn’t just want her life—she wanted to become it.
Raina James is tired of being invisible. Homeless, hungry, and ignored, she watches the world celebrate winners from the curb—until she sees Zuri Maxwell, a stunning Black entrepreneur stepping out of a luxury car like the city belongs to her. In that instant, envy turns into obsession… and obsession turns into a plan.
Raina studies Zuri’s voice, her walk, her wardrobe, her weaknesses. Then she slips into Zuri’s world like a shadow with a smile—stealing identities, poisoning trust, and seducing the one man who should’ve protected her. As Zuri’s empire collapses under staged evidence and digital sabotage, she’s arrested for crimes she didn’t commit… while “Zuri” keeps living, spending, and smiling for cameras.
But Zuri isn’t finished. From a jail cell, she fights back with receipts, allies, and a truth sharp enough to cut through the lies. And when the mask starts to crack, Raina sets the world on fire rather than go back to nothing—proving this was never just about money.
TRADING FACES is a dark, twist-filled urban thriller about envy, identity theft, and the terrifying power of obsession—where survival isn’t enough… unless you can erase the person you’re copying.
