I'm in trouble. Again. And instead of facing my problems head-on, I've run away. Far away this time, and no one can catch me - not my two younger sisters, Violet and Rose; not my father, my grandmother, or that witch, Pilar, who wants to take control of my family's cosmetics company. Now I'm in Hawaii, enjoying the sun and sand and water, where nobody knows the hot mess known as Lily Fowler. And I'm loving every minute of it. But someone is watching me. Following me. He's gorgeous.

People say the youngest child has it easy, but nothing can be further from the truth. Unlike my two sisters, Violet and Lily, I'm never in the limelight. I just work my butt off for Fleur Cosmetics and get little to no thanks for it. I've been pushed too far one too many times, and I'm finally brave enough to do something about it. Maybe my newfound courage has something to do with the amazing pink and white diamond necklace I wear to the party in Cannes.

She's all I could ever want.... I have a reputation around school. Cold. Untouchable. Unfeeling. Only one girl could ever make me want to change and that's Amanda Winters. Too bad I broke her heart and drove her away. So to get through the rest of my days in high school, I tell myself I need to focus on more important things. Like taking our football team to championships. Get accepted to the college of my choice. And finish my senior year without wanting to run away from my problems.

J'ai désespérément besoin d'elle. Si elle s'en allait, j'aurais l'impression de perdre une part de moi-même. Je crois que je suis amoureux d'elle, malheureusement j'ai le don de faire du mal à ceux que j'aime. Je ne peux pas lui infliger ça, mais je ne peux pas non plus la laisser s'en aller.

"J'ai un cœur de pierre, mais je ne peux pas me passer des filles. Leurs sourires, la manière dont elles retiennent leur souffle lorsque je me penche sur elles pour les embrasser, leur peau douce et la facilité avec laquelle elles se débarrassent de leurs vêtements et s’offrent à moi." Owen est irrésistible et il le sait. Il accumule les conquêtes d'un soir et passe son temps à faire la fête. Avec la vie qu'il mène, ses résultats à l'université sont en chute libre, et sa place dans l'équipe de football est menacée s'il ne se reprend pas rapidement.

Temporary. That's the word I'd use to describe my life right now. I'm temporarily working double shifts - at least until I can break free. I'm temporarily raising my little brother - since apparently our actual mother doesn't give a crap about either of us. And I always end up as nothing but the temporary girlfriend - the flavor of the week for every guy who's heard the rumor that I give it up so easily.

I knew from the moment I first saw her she was the one. The only girl I could ever want. The only girl I could ever love. She is light. I am darkness. She is innocent. I've done too much.

La estrella con quien todas sueñan solo tiene ojos para ella. Mi padre me prometió una gran sorpresa para mi fiesta de cumpleaños dieciocho, pero jamás imaginé que se tratara de Tate Ramsey, excantante del grupo Five Car Pileup, más famoso por sus fiestas que por su música. Después de ir a rehabilitación, Tate estaba listo para regresar a los escenarios y, aunque yo habría preferido a Harry Styles, no puedo negar que mis invitados lo amaron. Mi fiesta y su presentación se volvieron un hit en redes sociales... especialmente luego de que se filtraron fotos de nuestro beso tras bambalinas.
