Luce Fallon has had a tough life. At the age of twenty-one, she has lost her best friend, whom she had been in love with, and her parents in the space of five years. All were tragic car accidents. She has been damaged severely and only wants to die and be with those she loves. Sitting in a motel room with only a whiskey bottle and gun to accompany her, she decides to choose her own fate and be with her parents and her beloved Noah again. But before she can lift the gun to her head, men in black suits are rushing into her room with bigger guns of their own, telling her that her safety is at risk and she must be taken to a secure location. Everything Luce thought she knew is questioned; her entire life taking a horrific turn. And when a man with familiar chocolate brown eyes is designated as her bodyguard, she knows that everything is not as it seems.

A story of twins, of gargoyles, werewolves, arranged marriages and as a bonus has a really bad title and shirtless men on the cover. Hooray! Krystal de Monteacute, a sweet young eighteen year old coming onto her nineteenth birthday, and who goes by her real name, is nicknamed Cutie, is gorgeous, not too tall, not too short, with flawless pale skin, perfect golden curls and big blue eyes. She loves things, she loves to live the rich life, she's friendly to everyone, loves to do spontaneous things, and is happily awaiting her marraige to a spunky Gargoyle while having an affair with an Incubus. In other words, she's a bit of a pain in the ass. Her sister, Constance de Monteacute, goes by the name Kate Monty. She's more or less identical, sadly, but she doesn't spend hours on her 'perfect golden hair', her curls are frizzy, she has pimples, needs glasses, and the idea of being married to a Gargoyle with her sister makes her want to hurl. She likes to pretend she doesn't know her sister. She likes to pretend she isn't engaged. She's nice to her sister, Krystal is her sister after all, but somehow that world is just a bit too far away from reality for Kate. Rather than face conflict, which is going to happen when she flat out refuses to get married on her nineteenth birthday, she just left home. Got a job. Rented a room in a shared house. Made sure she earned her money, paid her bills on time, and dyed her hair a rocking brown. Working in a Library and spends most of her time putting away books in a slightly obsessive fashion, she's one exciting gal, and intends on making sure it stays this way.
