Born and raised in a small southern town, Lacey Madison is damaged goods, and has been that way for years now. With an older sister gone eleven months out of the year and two parents constantly at each other's throats, she's struggling just to stay afloat.
But there's one thing she's learned, despite this mess she's in: commitment will suck you in, chew you up, and spit you out before you know it.
Which is why Lacey avoids it at all costs.
But when her sister makes one of her surprise visits home with a guest in tow and the tension between her parents heats up to new extremes, Lacey begins to break, keeping secrets from her best friend in the process. And a certain boy may hold the key to unraveling her completely.
But how many lies and secrets can one girl live before things get out of control? And just how far can she be broken before she's finally had enough?

Being beautiful might as well be Flora Morgan's only talent. Some of the words she hates include economy class, second-hand clothes, and budget. She likes fashion, dating, not being on time and getting what she wants - until she meets Sean, who is like the clock striking midnight; he erases all her magic power.
He is as mature and sophisticated as the dark roasted coffee he drinks, while she is like a lollipop: colorful, dazzling on the outside but empty calories and artificial sweeteners on the inside.
The attraction is instant, but getting a kiss is only the first step. To keep their fire burning, they must accept each other's differences and decide if what they're building is strong enough to survive trials, jealousy, expectations, and the fear of becoming someone they no longer recognize.
