"Adeline, your doing it again." Sawyer whispered to my ear as i regained focus on reality. Reality would be nothing but a hellish reminder of what happened almost three years ago, if it wasnt for Chandler. Chandler was my beautiful star that zoned me back in on what was important in my life. She unconciously reminded me everyday that Sawyer and myself were her stability in life. Sawyer was my twin brother, we shared the same bluish green eyes and the tan skin. He had his own lucious brown hair that had a red tint in the sunlight. He was strongly built with muscly arms and firmly shaped abs that were seen if he wore a tight shirt. We were eighteen and Chandler was two. Chandler. I adored her too much, her sleek golden blonde hair was identical to mine and we almost had the same birthmark, a tatto like mark just above our hips. She had different eyes though. Hers were like the birth stone Topaz, with just a hint more than the natural amout of yellow, dashed with sprinkles of brown. She had her father's eyes. Even though, undoubtably, she had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen, it killed me to see them daily. I had burned my stare deep into those same eyes before, about two years and eleven months ago to be exactly on the dot. I hate to recall the memory but it is so vivid in my mind that i play it back unconciously.

Shawna Roberts is the girl that every guy turns to when they need a fake date, a fake girlfriend, a fake fling to make some other girl jealous, a fake couple photo to send to their parents... Shawna's pretty much seen it all. But no matter what they pay her for, everything she does has one common factor: it's all fake. That doesn't make being their paid girl much easier, though. Adam Ferrell is the campus heartthrob with the appearance of a god, an ego the size of Canada, and worshiped by everyone to monumentally ridiculous proportions. In Shawna's mind, it's a miracle his head fits through his shirt every morning. Yet despite their instant dislike for one another, Adam and Shawna each need what the other can offer. When Adam unexpectedly pushes into Shawna's life with a business deal, she's torn between her feelings and her sense of duty, which protects a secret she has kept for years, from even those closest to her. And as the two begrudgingly get to know each other, masks start slipping and secrets come spilling out, forcing each of them to confront some of their darkest moments and deepest fears.
