Cecilia Johnston is your typical high school senior. She is co-captain on the school soccer team with her best friend Stella, she has great friends and good grades and every boy crawling at her feet...well all except one. Maxwell Andrews, is a star soccer player. He has everything from women to money. His father had a crazy experiment done on him and another girl when he was young to create two "super" humans that would be good at everything. His children Stella and Stephan. Stella is Cecilia's best friend...and Cecilia is in love with her best friends' dad. She thinks he is smart and handsome and she would do anything to be with him.

(Sequel to Queen of Spades/King of Hearts stories) Nathaniel Vega grew up in a less than conventional family. His mother and father had once been student and teacher, his best friend was also his adoptive sister and his family seemed to include people who had no blood relations but shared a lot of love. Grace James has grown up with Nate playing at first big brother, now best friend and would be lover, but she is no fool to fall for his easy charms. She is trying to find where the line of friendship ends and where her independence from her best friend begins. Ophelia James is dying. Cancer is breaking her body down before she has even had a chance to live and do all the things she promised herself she would do when she had time. Bound by blood and love, Nathaniel, Grace and Ophelia inevitably get in the way of each other's lives, and somehow change the course of each other's fates. But when the happiness of all of them rests on a miracle, what sort of future can any one of them have?
