Santina Hernandez's parents could not have children, so they adopted a four year old girl named Daryl. A year later Santina was born. She lived a happy life until Daryl was murdered when she was 11, and Santina was 6. It was an unsolved case, and Santina went on to live a regular normal boring life. Until one day at school, Santina meets Jules, and their feelings for each other grow. But Jules has a secret, and Santina must make several hard decisions. Queen bee or best friend?
