Persephone is a thief... for royals. They hire her to steal for them; mostly out of spite, not need. She sneaks into gilded bedrooms and takes jewels; she slips her slim hands into the purses and pockets of the wealthy. Because of her clients, Persephone isn't poor like so many of her trade. She lives a fairly pampered life. So why does she do it? Once she had enough money to live one, she started dealing in secrets. Sure, she would steal... if you told her your deepest, darkest secret. One feature gives her away. A distinctly heart shaped birthmark adorns her left cheek. So she wears a mask at all times to hid who she is. When everyone has secrets, who can you really trust? Hidden faces and masked identities take the place of reality. Welcome to the masquerade.

Callie Picket,the-fat-girl-next-door has a big fat secret. Well, a secret she's been successfully hiding from her oh so sexy apartment neighbor Chris Walker. In their first meeting, he mistakes her for a fat guy and she does nothing to correct him. "That awkward moment when the man you love doesn't know you're a woman" Very over-weight 22 year old girl Callie has a mega crush on her hunkie new apartment next door neighbor Chris ...(age 24). The thing is, since Callie is so overweight, Chris mistakes her for a guy but she doesn't tell him the truth because they've become buddies and she doesn't want to lose that bond with him. Then Chris makes her start going to the gym to lose weight and as the pounds comes off, Chris begins to see these changes...like Callie starts to look more girly, and since he's a total playboy and lady lover, he starts getting attracted to her while thinking that she's still a "he". Basically, he thinks he's going gay. Will Callie ever tell him the truth as her lie begins to take its toll on both of them as she and very confused Chris becomes closer? Or will he be the first to finally see her for what she truly is? A Big Fat Liar.
