In high school, studious Jayne Scott and wild child Rebecca Worden became unlikely best friends — a tie that endured even after Rebecca fled her family to live overseas. After Jayne’s mother passed away, she became part unpaid assistant, part surrogate daughter to the wealthy Wordens. But now, ten years later, Rebecca is coming home to L.A. to cause havoc for Elizabeth, the mother who all but rejected her. And Jayne finds herself pulled deeper into the Wordens’ complicated family dynamics - especially when Rebecca’s brother, David, returns as well. David is the man Jayne always wanted and knew she could never have. But when he gravitates toward her in spite of Elizabeth’s protests, her vow to escape the family’s shadow is put to the ultimate test. And as lies are shattered and true feelings exposed, Jayne must decide where loyalty ends, and love begins. . . .

"I read this over the weekend. I loved it the flow of the book was good. I couldn't put it down. Friendship can be one sided and this one was. The mother wasn't really a good mother nor was she a good subsistute mother she only did what she did for selfish reasons. "

— April, 3/8/2011" Quick, easy, and enjoyable read. This was a story that had you rooting for the main characters and wishing for the demise of others. In the end I wanted to know more. Sequel? "
