I am a 16 Year old girl from a small town in Forks. I have a loving family and the greatest twin brother. My life changed forever the day I won a radio contest to attend a film premiere and meet my actor crush, Edward Masen. After spending one night with him my life will never be the same again. Rated M for language and lemons.

Born to parents living a rich and glamorous lifestyle, Bella had never felt as if she belonged in their world where life often felt fake and pretentious. Wanting more out of life and wanting to make a worthwhile difference, Bella assumes a fake identity and heads off to spend her last summer before college doing something real and meaningful. Her journey starts with meeting a handsome stranger, raised to help those in need—and to detest the rich. What happens when he finds out her secret?

Edward is a successful Hollywood actor whose life is controlled by people who think of him as a commodity and he is on the edge of a breakdown.  When he loses Bella, the girl he loves, because of other peoples' greed and his own stupidity he walks away from his life and responsibilities, straight into the path of a strange and trusting woman to whom he spills his soul.  A story with mature themes - NC17 for loving moments and language.
