Reese Price moves to a different continent, not by choice, of course. An orphan and the youngest of five brothers, moving was the last thing she wanted to do and going to a new school was even higher on her not-wanting to-do list. She wanted to be invisible for the last two years of high school. She wanted to keep her head low and let her twin brother steal the new kid spotlight. Keyword: wanted. I mean, who wouldn't notice the British girl that comes from one of the richest families in the world. With a laugh that echoes wherever she goes like a blazing wildfire, it's hard not to just get lost in her. And just like when a wildfire hits, no one is safe. In her laugh, there is everything he needs. But, what is everything? Laughter usually hides more than it reveals. As certain secrets find their way out and circumstances arise, will Reese's laughter remain intact or will life finally take the best of her? "A laugh a day keeps the fat away." -Reese Price ----- Excerpt: "'You want me to meet your friends, right?" I walk up to him and his friend. "I'm Reese and that is my twin brother Roman. He's older than me by ten minutes and loves to make my life miserable. I love long walks on the beach, oh and falling for my brother's best friends is kind of my thing." Then I add, "I'm usually on the fuck and chuck basis with them, so you won't have to worry about me being some sort of psycho-stalker chick.' Roman's face pales. And that ladies and gentlemen, is how you get payback."' © 2019 AmoraNext All Rights Reserved
