Alix Smith has had a rough life, but to her, that's just "how it goes." Raised by a drunk, abusive mom, she never knew what love felt like. Birthdays? Holidays? Milestones? Forget it. Her mom was always high or drunk, and life was chaos. When her mom finally got sent to a mental institution, eight year old Alix landed in New York's foster care system which, frankly, was just as broken.
Then came Phoebe. A girl her same age, wild, fearless, and impossible not to love. From that moment on, they were inseparable: hustling odd jobs, raising foster siblings, surviving school, getting into trouble, crashing parties... you name it, they did it together.
But everything changes when Alix discovers the truth: she's not Alix Smith. She's Eloise Sinclair the four year old girl who vanished from her front yard thirteen years ago. Suddenly, she's thrown into a world of elites: a bitchy sister, parents who don't know how to handle their "miracle," a slightly obnoxious twin brother... and Blake, his best friend, a walking, talking heartbreaker who could probably destroy a few hearts with a wink. Too bad Alix seems to have lost hers.
After being involved with a cold-hearted mafia boss, Robyn Lehman decides its time to run. Little did she know, she was carrying the future heir to his entire empire.
Will he find her again? Or will she stay hidden forever?

He got up from the bed, pulling up his pants and not taking a glance at me. I lay in the sheets, still dazed by what we had just done.
"Get up." He barks, making me jump a bit. I was confused beyond belief. Just moments ago he was making love to me...
I did as he said, wrapping the loose sheet around my body, he continued to glare as I did so, and I made my way to his side of the bed.
He held out a hand, an angry look on his face. "Don't. Just go. This was a mistake, and it won't happen again." He mutters coldly.
I feel my face heating up and my eyes welling with tears. "Oh.." I stare at him, my emotions beginning to be hard to keep in.
He laughs, shaking his head. "You thought I cared?" He let out a loud chuckle. "You mean nothing to me. Now go to your room, I don't want to see you in here again."
