Isabella Williams has everything a girl could dream of-she's gorgeous, popular, and comes from a billionaire family everyone admires. Her twin brother is her best friend, and her life seems picture-perfect. But behind the flawless exterior, Bella keeps her real self hidden from the world. When Daniel Smith, the new guy at school with the most striking blue eyes she's ever seen, walks into her life, everything starts to change.
Daniel lives in one of the poorest neighborhoods in the city, but he attends the elite Vista High on a scholarship. He's handsome, sure, but his past is full of mistakes, bad habits, and an ex-girlfriend who won't let go. The last thing he needs is to get caught up in Isabella's world, but from the moment they meet, there's no denying the pull between them.
As Bella and Dan navigate their completely different lives, they'll have to decide if their connection is worth the risk-or if their differences will be too much to overcome. When life throws challenges at them both, they'll soon realize that nothing is as it seems, and love isn't always as simple as it looks.
