Ammie thought she knew everything about Lance-the boy she loved for five years. But when their once-solid connection begins to crumble during their first year of college, she finds herself questioning everything. Lance becomes distant, then unexpectedly sweet, only to vanish without a trace.
As she tries to piece together the fragments of their relationship, strange things begin to happen. Lance's behavior shifts from familiar to unsettling, and secrets from his past surface, threatening to rewrite the story Ammie thought she was living.
In a story of blurred identities and tangled hearts, Ammie must untangle the lies before the truth consumes her. But some secrets are kept for a reason-and discovering them may change her life forever.

"I know what you're doing," I said, pointing my spoon at him and he cocked a curious eyebrow, "Is that so?" I nodded as I spooned more pudding into my mouth and straightened my back, "You're trying to intimidate me, make me spill my secrets. I have none so your psychology-ridden methods won't work on me." "I don't buy it," he grinned mischievously and I shrugged, "There's not a price." He walked towards me and placed his hands on either side of me on the counter, leaning in so almost our noses were touching. I cleared my throat and shook my head, "Elliott, you have to stop." A smile graced his plump lips as humor danced in his eyes, "And why's that?" I wriggled out of his stance and hopped off of the counter, eating another spoonful of the delicious goodness, "I want to see where things go with Dean. He's your brother so why are you doing this?" "Doing what?" He asked, knowingly. He asks so many questions. "That thing you do. That smile. Your touches. The way you look at me, Elliott, please." --------------- Cameron Moore, a troubled girl from a small town in England, flees her dark past and wounds up living in her sister's house in America to attend university.
