Isang linggo pa lamang na isinisilang sa mundo nang iwanan si Calla ng sariling ina sa isang kakilala. Hindi man aminin sa kanya ang katotohanan ay lumaki siyang naiintindihan kung bakit ang kakambal lamang niya ang pinili nitong isama habang siya'y tuluyan nitong kinalimutan. She was often called a 'freak' or a 'rat' because of the ugly birthmark that covered almost half of her face. Ngunit sa kabila ng lahat ng pangungutyang naranasan, walang espasyo sa puso niya ang makaramdam ng pagkamuhi dahil hindi naman siya pinagdamutan ng pagmamahal ng babaeng kumupkop at tumanggap sa kanya na parang tunay nitong anak. Hanggang sa dumating ang araw na mangailangan siya para sa operasyon ng kanyang nanay-nanayan. At sa panahong pinaka-desperada siya ay saka bumalik ang tunay na ina, now a widow of a very rich tycoon, offering help but in exchange of one condition. Magpapa-opera si Calla upang tanggalin ang balat sa mukha. Magpapanggap siya bilang si Celine, ang kanyang kakambal na namatay sa isang car accident, upang magpakasal sa fiancé nito. Subalit malaki ang galit ng lalaki sa kanyang kapatid. At ibang babae ang nais nitong iharap sa altar. Amid the lies, deceptions and wrath, will she ever have the love and happiness she deserves?

He was her first love and 'never'... She will be his last and 'forever'. *** Tessa Maxfield has always been the smart one because she couldn't be the pretty one or the cool one. And she's fine with that. The upside of being smart is not making stupid decisions like she did as a kid, falling in love with her older brother's best friend. She outgrew that and could still outsmart it now. Jake Hastings has always been a playboy because he could be so why not? But his best friend's rash wedding and fairytale marriage has left him wondering if he could have more. The downside to his notorious reputation is that when he unexpectedly finds the girl he can't live without, she won't believe him. He burned that bridge a long time ago and she's not letting him build a new one now. Can two people who want so much of what they're afraid of find their way through first loves and second chances to finally find each other? *** This is a spin-off from The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield. It can be read standalone but I would highly recommend reading the original book first before this one for a lot more context and extra scenes. *** Copyright © 2016 by Nina Tippett.
