Synopsis
Audrey Valdez didn’t mean to fall for Will Anders. He isn’t her type. At all. But his goofy smile, Star Wars quotes and athletic body make it impossible. She's lived so long in the darkness and Will is like the sun. He makes her laugh more than she has in years and cares for her more than her own family.
But there are things about Audrey that Will doesn't know, things he can't know. She tries to push him away, but he just ends up getting closer to her, and to her secret. Is the risk of losing him forever worth the chance a being with the only person she's ever loved who has loved her back?

Excerpt
“My boyfriend is going to kick your ass.”
“Your boyfriend isn’t getting involved,” Zan called from the other side of the room.
“No sex for you,” Lottie called back at him. Ugh, I did NOT want to think about my sister and Zan. Especially not at the present moment.
Lottie finally stopped resisting and I let her go.
“For someone who is so attuned to me, you seem to know next-to-nothing about how women think.” That was definitely not true and she knew it.
“You mean I shouldn’t have tried to make a move on Audrey in someone else’s disgusting bed. That she would want something more special, would deserve something more special. Is that what you’re getting at?”
“Obviously.”
“Well, my answer to that is that I didn’t PLAN anything. She was upset and I was trying to comfort her and then we started kissing and I stopped thinking and then you barged in. Maybe if you’d waited, nothing would have happened anyway.” Nothing had happened, no matter how many times we’d been in compromising positions. We would be kissing and I’d go for something more and she’d stop me, or I would worry that she would want to stop me, so I would beat her to it.
“There’s a whole lot more to this than sex, Lot.”
She gave me a look as if I’d just said the dumbest thing in the history of dumb things.
“Don’t insult my intelligence. I know that what you have is more than just sex. This is the first girl I’ve ever seen you so torn up over. And I may not have known Aud that long, but I can tell that this is different for her, too.”
“Has she . . . has she said anything?”
Lottie shook her head and put her hands up.
“Nope, sorry bro. That breaks Girl Code.” Again with the Girl Code.
“What about Twin Code? Doesn’t that supersede Girl Code?”
She thought about it for a second.
“In some cases, yes, but not in this one. That’s not saying that I know anything. But hypothetically, if I knew something, I couldn’t tell you.”
Sometimes I wondered how I was actually related to her.
“So do you know something, or not?”
“I’m sorry, Will. This is her thing. I’m taking myself out of it. This is between the two of you.” She hopped up from the couch and ran to give Zan a kiss on the cheek.
“Well-played, L.” He smiled down at her as if she’d split the atom.
“Thank you.”
“Your boyfriend isn’t getting involved,” Zan called from the other side of the room.
“No sex for you,” Lottie called back at him. Ugh, I did NOT want to think about my sister and Zan. Especially not at the present moment.
