Delicate. Beautiful. Doomed to shatter. When Estella moves to Forks, she expects rain, quiet streets, and time to heal. What she doesn't expect is Dr. Carlisle Cullen-polite, poised, and impossibly perfect. There's something about him that feels both ancient and aching, like a man made of porcelain and silence. Carlisle has spent centuries building walls of discipline around himself, mastering the art of distance. But her presence chips away at that careful calm-reminding him of everything he's denied himself in his pursuit of peace. Their bond is fragile, forbidden, and blindingly intense. Like roses made of glass: beautiful to behold, dangerous to hold. And some things, once broken, can never be made whole again. Love was never meant to bloom between still hearts and beating ones. But still-it blooms.

This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.
