Pushing me even further, he wiped his thumb along the corner of his mouth that had been smudged with a little of my shimmery, clear lip gloss. His eyes narrowed at me as his thumb slowly traveled across his bottom lip. Despite my annoyance, my lips parted as I watched his movement. His gaze was unnerving. He looked at his thumb for a moment, then licked it to my astonishment. He bit the corner of his lip and smirked as he looked up in thought. After a second, his eyes flicked back to mine. "Melon?" He questioned. Heat crept up my neck, my cheeks and ears on fire. His eyes darkened. If he was referring to the flavor of my lip gloss... He was correct.

Annabelle and Isabelle are two very different girls, they are also twins. When their parents were in a car accident in which they were hit by a drunk driver, they both get sent to foster homes because none of their other family members would take them in. The girls only being a year old at the time, were separated and never saw one another again. They both faced hardships and have experienced things that no one should ever have to go through.

She can kick butt and isn't afraid to tell you the truth straight to your face. She puts up a facade of being a strong and bubbly girl but inside she feels weak and useless.

When their worlds collide they begin to open up, become new people and discover many secrets about themselves that they never knew. They must also face something they have never felt before: love.
