Beatrice knows this is not a normal life. But this is her life and she has learned to accept that. She has learned to run with the tide and not fall behind. Not only in a world where she has to keep up with her older brothers but to keep up in the illegal world.

In Beatrice's world you've got to run or be left in the dust. While staying away from police officers trying to send her and her underaged siblings off to foster care, making sure you don't get too deep into gang affairs, and being independent yet still keeping trust and honesty within your family. 

But what happens when hidden secrets come out from more than one family member, tensions run high, and they realize they don't know nearly enough about each other than they thought.

Everyone in life is dealt a hand of cards. The player can't control if they are dealt a good or bad hand but the player can control the outcome if they play their cards right.

She always had the support of her loving family until her mother and brother left when she was nine. Her life was never the same. One day, she gets into a car accident which leaves her father dead and her losing most of her memory. She gets placed with her aunt and abusive boyfriend. When her aunt gets married, she finds out she has 6 step-cousins. Will her bad hand be enough to win the game or was she doomed to fail?

Twin At First Sight |✓| by LoveFoodAndSleep

I felt the tears rise and I looked down for a minute, gathering all of my resolve. I looked up again and stared him right in the eye. "You know what? I trusted you!" I jabbed my finger in his chest and he recoiled. "I trusted you and you broke my trust. I trusted you to keep the secret. I trusted you enough to tell you everything. I trusted you to keep my trust. I trusted you." I told him and he flinched as my voice broke in the end. I looked away from him and at everyone else in the room. "And you wonder why I never trust. You know what? I can't do this. I'm done." I scoffed and shoved past Aiden but paused at the door, not looking back. "Oh, and if you are still curious? Go ahead and hack into the file. Don't say that I didn't warn you." ************************************************************** Alexis and Aiden are siblings with Aiden being 11 months older than her. With a neglectful mother and an abusing step dad, these two face the world on their own with no one to help them out. When they get a chance at a new life, they jump at it.
