In a city where image is everything, Gabriella attracts attention for all the wrong reasons. The marks that cross her neck and face turn people off. But I see the beauty that lies beneath, I feel a kinship with her pain. I regret that she found me - robbed and left for dead. I should have left, followed the rules, but I can't. I want to see her again. But there is one problem. My brother convinced her that I was gay. I use this lie to my advantage, convincing her to pretend to be my girlfriend to help protect my false sexual identity from my judgmental family. But what starts as a shameless excuse to be close to her leads to border crossings and midnight confessions. I am not who I made her believe. I am sin wrapped in silk. Betrayal disguised as beauty. And she's not the only one with scars...
