Kill me, if you ever loved me, kill me.

Let's get the facts straight. I am no heroine and I will never bring pride to my family. I am what you could call a failure. My grades? Average. My social life? Average. Talents? Hmm... well, I think I have none. I'm not exceptional in any way and I know I'm a disappointment for my father. And in this day and age there's no way I could just take my father's place to save him from a horrible fate.  There is a huge weight on my shoulders but I can't carry it no matter how hard I try. I have no idea what I can do, I only know what I can't do. Yet I still would try anything to make my father proud, even just once. Oh right, I forgot to tell you whom I was name after. Yes, I was named after Mulan, that bright heroine who saved China and brought pride to her family. Talk about big expectations. But Mulan doesn't suit me, so it's just Ann. -:-:- BOOK #4 in the Aware Princess Series flower: Peony, it symbolises "Prosperity, honor (in China)."

What if every bruise, every cut, every scar on your body wasn't yours? What if it was someone else's but everytime they hurt themselves, they hurt you too? How would you explain it to those around you? That was Thomas' problem. Annabelle was struggling with everyday life; a dysfunctional Mother who barely even noticed her, a Father who was re-married and halfway across the state, no real friends. There was no wonder she felt like her only option was self-harm. That was until she went to live with her Father in California and stumbled across the insanely handsome Thomas, who like her, was covered in scars and bruises. Yet, they were identical to her own. Feeling a spark ignite between them, things became a little more complicated as Thomas confided in her and told her that he's never once lifted a blade or a similar object to his skin - they just appear from a dream he has...about her. Not only must Annabelle fight the urge to stop harming herself so she'll stop hurting Thomas, the two of them need to figure out why they seem to be connected to each other.
