In Croston, the powerful Winters family is haunted by a cruel curse: when twin daughters are born, the family will fall. To save the family, only one child can live.
23 years ago, Mrs. Winters gave birth to twin girls on a stormy night. Violet, the older twin, was chosen, loved, and protected. Her younger sister was almost killed by their own father.
Saved by her dying mother, the younger twin still never escaped the Winters family. She was dragged back, locked away, and used as Violet’s living blood supply. Whenever Violet was too weak, she was forced to take her place.
She had no freedom. No love. Not even a name. Everyone simply called her Winters.
Then Liam Winslow, heir to Croston’s richest family, walked into her life.
When Violet falls ill before her date with Liam, Winters is forced to pretend to be her. She is only meant to be Violet’s shadow, but Liam starts falling for the girl behind the lie.
To Winters, Liam is the light in her darkest world—and the one love she never thought she was allowed to have.
