"You need to hang on." he told her through his tears. "I need you." She nodded. "You come back to me alive." he whispered. He leaned in and gently kissed her forehead.
"I love you."
"I love you to."

After being born prematurely, Isabella's parents were told she wouldn't survive. And if she did, a lot of things would be wrong with her. That she'd never walk or eat without a tube. So she was abandoned by them on the side of the road in a cardboard box, in the middle of winter. A younge couple passing by, takes notice to her, and immediatly bring her home.
Now years later, Isabella is 16 years old. She can walk, run, and even eat by herself. She lives with her parents Marcel and Janette Ferguson, and her four siblings. Jackson and Jared, the twins. Erin, her younger sister, and her older brother Logan. She thinks nothing of her real parents because of what they did to her.
Because she was born prematurely, Isabella lives with multiple complications. She has Epilepsy, a weak heart, is constantly tired, etc. Isabella normally spends her time alone, aside from the company of her four friends, not wanting to get attached because she's afraid to be thrown away. Until she meets a boy named Luke, who just moved to town.
"Your mine..." he mumbled, his intoxicating lips pecking the nape of my neck. I let out a breathing moan as his kisses move up to my collar bone. I shudder as his hands travel down my body. My heart picks up as his lips travel to my chin and to the edge of my mouth.
His lips are like ice against my heated skin. I crave him...I want him to want me just as much as I want him. His lips smash to mine as he moves his cold lips on mine. He nibbles, asking for entrance as the butterflies invade my stomach. "No.." I croak pushing him away from me, reality hitting me like a bus. "No?" he ask playfully, pushing me against the wall.

What happens when Grace is accused for the murder of her father, a man comes into her life...and a great family fortune is at risk? Well there's certainly no time for the feelings she feels towards Luke. Of course fate gets the best of her.
Both holding onto secrets.
Both hidden.
Both craving.
Both hidden beneath each other.
