"Only if you could have told me one lie less... then I could have forgiven you, Nick."

Coerced to wanting to become the feminine beauty ideal of her era and always comparing herself with the two women in her life that she thinks they are the exemplary product of allurement - her mother and her cousin -, the fifteen year old Irene Hart tries to find her own boundaries, her own limits and the length that she would go to prove herself she is no less than her cousin, whom she's having an imaginary contest with. 
Both girls are competing for Lorraine's love, Irene's mother and Florence's aunt, for being the most beautiful one... and for one mysterious man that neither of the the young girls are ready for.
Nicholas Clive is dark, alluring and dangerous, and his intentions aren't pure, as Irene's, are are far worse than Florence's, but in his cold stoned heart one of the two girls crept up and didn't seemed to leave... Will he act on emotions, or will he finish the plan, the mission he was sent with? 
Who will hurt less and who will hurt more? Who will love best and who will hate most? But most importantly... who will survive and who will pass?All Rights Reserved
