Twilight
"Some girls are born soft. Others learn softness after the storm. River Morgan was born in the wreckage." River Morgan is seventeen, sharp-tongued and soft-spoken, a girl who hides bruises behind vintage lace and loneliness behind quotes from Sylvia Plath. As the daughter of Forks' revered mayor, her life looks perfect from the outside-but perfection is brittle, and River is quietly falling apart. When she collapses at school and is taken to Forks Hospital, she meets Dr. Carlisle Cullen-a man as composed as she is chaotic, with eyes that see far too much. Carlisle is used to hiding secrets, but he's never met anyone like her: mysterious, wounded, brilliant, and haunted by a grief she carries like an heirloom. As their paths continue to cross, Carlisle finds himself drawn to the girl who speaks in metaphors and stares like she's seen the end of the world. But River has a darkness clinging to her-and not all monsters have fangs.

Carlisle Cullen is indeed the steady pillar that anchored his family. His determination, courage, and might clinging onto him like second skin. However, a pillar needs an even stronger structure lying within to keep it standing. Lady Claire Beaumont was a Duke's daughter from the 1800s. Seemingly unwanted, far too intelligent to be fair for an eligible bachelor. A spinster. A piece of silk that shined a little too bright. A rose too thorned to be picked. She dallied with her father's doctor way too close to be accepted by the ton. To her defense, his wit and striking image was way too hard to resist, and yet what outweighs all these is their shared secret that's way too scarce to see with anybody else. Blood-thirst. Now set in the calm yet daunting town of Forks, Carlisle and Claire take the role as foster parents to their adopted teens. Transcending their relationship as merely friends remains a hazy path that neither of them felt brave enough to set foot into. Won't putting on the mask as Forks' golden pair unexpectedly unravel centuries old secrets and restraint?
