Echo wasn't like her sisters. She knew that when people talked about the famous and fabulous Reid sisters, they weren't referring to her. Quiet, homely, plain and riddled with social anxiety that made it hard for her to leave the house, she could never have known what was about to happen, she never dreamed she'd live such an adventure. Luke Farina was the most dangerous man around- spoiled, selfish, extremely conceited- he didn't take no for an answer and always got what he wanted. He just never expected that the strange and ridiculous little Echo would be the one to say no and somehow become the one he had to have most. -- NOTE: Hi everyone! I really hope you take the time to read this story. It's already complete for the most part, in just taking it slow in publishing it. It's my first story and I'd love to hear your comments and feedback. I hope you decide to give it a chance! This is also part one of a series and I'm already midway through the next book which can't be released unless this one gets some positive feedback. Thank you and enjoy!

Vera was always the nice sister. She was the one everyone went to for advice. She was the one that always did the right thing. She was willing to give her best and then more. She was willing to put herself second. She was brave, and when her heart was was broken, she bore it silently. But Vera was no fool. She was NEVER going to let someone hurt her again. She'd bottle it up and grit and grin- She was done being weak. No one would ever use her again. Then he came back out of the blue- same good looks, same confident stride, same breathtaking smile. Tom Dane had shattered Vera's world, and now, he was back, determined to win her back. Would she be strong enough? Was it too late?

Rescuing the kid from an uncomfortable situation seemed like such an easy thing to do. How was Marco supposed to know the chaos that would ensue? Maru hadn't asked for his help but she was grateful and now, he was asking her to save him too. How could she say no? They struck a deal. Just a few months of a mutually beneficial, mutually useful, and mutually favorable fake relationship followed by a clean, amiable, amicable split. Two friends helping each other out... The only snag: The more time that passed, the more she wished it was all real.

The two had not started off on the best terms but it was now obvious that there was something new and exciting growing between them. Romy Reid, the ever untouchable, unattainable, unyielding, world-weary, stolid and stoic beauty, did not believe in love, but Bruce White was everything she thought a man should be: Handsome, practical, smart, creative, self reliant and capable of stealing her composure with a single kiss. Bruce found himself fascinated by his beautiful competitor- She met his every challenge and challenged every part of his mind. What a wonderful surprise, flawlessly suited, an ideal and perfect match. Too bad the past doesn't stay where it belongs...

Good old, reliable George, with the wide toothy grin- there was something about him that had always made Lena's heart beat a little faster. He wasn't dangerous, wasn't arrogant, had never been a bad boy, had never been a play boy. He was steadfast, straight as an arrow, honest as they came and he made her feel like she was home. But-If he hadn't fallen in love with her by now, then he never would, right? George hadn't expected for a few years to change everything. How had he missed that Lena had grown up so much? It was almost disturbing and no matter what he did he couldn't stop the feeling growing inside him. The feeling in the pit of his stomach like he was about to lose something important, like he was about to miss out on something big.
