An artistic playboy? Never heard that one before. - Parker Ly was a full package-intelligent, good-looking, sporty, and a bad boy. Oh yes, he was also an artist. He also had a secret; he fell in love with a girl in ripped jeans and a blue bomber jacket who only came out at night. He didn't even know her real name, but he knew he had to have her. Mae Chen wore Hollister hoodies and read books while walking to class-no one would expect her to be the dark-haired beauty who ran under the stars and appeared at only the wildest parties. But when Mae is paired up with one of Parker's best friends for a month long project, it gets harder and harder to keep up the mask. How long will she last?

He at least wants to taste what it's like before he decides. She was the sun; warm, bright, radiant, and full of the purest light. He was the stars; distant and scarce, yet fascinating and effervescent if you took the time to look closely enough. They seem so different at first glance, the sun and the stars, but they are just alike.
