Willow is a runaway heiress, an orphan, a cook, and a cheat.

Gemma is a fighter, a social chameleon, and an athlete.

An intense friendship. A disappearance. A murder, or maybe two.

A bad romance, or maybe three.

Blunt objects, disguises, blood, and chocolate. The American dream, superheroes, spies, and villains.

A girl who refuses to give people what they want from her.

A girl who refuses to be the person she once was.

Gemma Lust Wilder, a white 18-year-old without a family who's staying at a luxurious resort in Columbia, spending her days swimming and studying Spanish. She's strong-willed, secretive, and always on guard.

The Bona Fide Fraud

  You couldn't get close to the actual stones unless you'd bought tickets ahead of time. Gemma and Paolo could see some big rocks in the distance as they drove up, but from the visitors' center, nothing.


  "I promised you ancient mystery, and now it's nothing but a parking lot," said Paolo, half sad and half joking, as they got back in the car. "I should have looked it up."


  "I do know how to work the Internet."


  "Oh, don't worry. I'm more excited about the sheep anyway."


  "Are you serious? Because I don't think I can actually guarantee sheep, and I don't want to let you down again."


  "No. I don't care about sheep at all."


  Paolo shook his head. "I should have known. Sheep are not Stonehenge. We have to face that. Even the very best sheep are never going to be Stonehenge." 


  "Let's eat the Swedish Fish," she said, to cheer him up.


  "Perfect," said Paolo. "That is a perfect plan."
