Celeste stood at the beach, feeling his presence behind her. She swallowed nervously. It was now or never; these four years of one-sided love were going to end today.

"Marcello, I want you to know I'm in love with you. I was going to endure it, but I can't. Marcello, I want to be yours, so please give me a chance," she shouted, turning around with tears in her eyes as she quickly hugged him.

"Please, Marcello, I can't do this anymore. I know it sounds crazy, but I have always loved you," she said, burying her face below his chest.

Lorenzo froze. He had received an anonymous message meant for his brother Marcello and had come in his place, thinking it was a threat.

He had not expected to see a lady by the beach. She looked so delicate and dream-like, with the way the moon glistened on her alabaster skin and raven black hair, which looked like it had silver streaks when it flowed in the evening breeze.

The soft dress swirled around her, sometimes billowing around her too. She was a siren, and he was enchanted by her beauty. He stood staring as she confessed her feelings, his body coming alive from her touch.

She hugged him tightly, like a lover scared to let go, but the name on her lips wasn't his; it was his brother's—Marcello.

________


Celeste confesses her love to Marcello, her first love, but in a shocking twist, she discovers she actually poured her heart out to his older twin, Lorenzo whom she suddenly found herself growing attached to.

Lost in the pool of a complicated web of emotions, Celeste must choose between her original feelings for Marcello and her growing connection with Lorenzo that must satisfy her heart and at the same time not cause a riff between both brothers. 

Meanwhile, Marcello's heartbreak and sense of betrayal threaten to destroy the brothers' relationship which had proven to be as hard as a rock for years. 

Will Celeste find true love with Marcello or follow her heart to Lorenzo? Can the brothers forgive each other and themselves if she were to make an unfavorable decision to either or both of them? 

This book is a romantic drama about family, love, and betrayal, where the lines between true love and first love are blurred.

HER IDENTICAL PROBLEMS

Celeste looked away from Alfeo and back at her husband, though she could still feel his intense gaze on her. Her heart was beating twice as fast. She wondered if she needed to pay him or if she would seduce him to get her plan to work.

"I see you later then" she muttered and Lorenzo nodded as he escorted her out of the room with his hand placed on the small of her back, a sign of possession.

Before she could step out of the room, he bent lower and whispered into her ears.

" You know I could easily rip that dress off you?"

Celeste's breath caught in her throat as she took in the spicy scent of his aftershave. She could feel her face heating up at his words, and without a word, she walked away from him.

Lorenzo chuckled, a low rumbling sound that vibrated through the corridor. He loves riling her up and watching her turn that delightful shade of red.
