Roxy's Story — V.C. Andrews

I was like some dark shadow haunting my own parents and little sister. This was my chance to be reborn. . . .

Roxy Wilcox has always been rebellious and defiant -- the exact opposite of her sweet, obedient younger sister, Emmie. After sixteen years of trying to discipline Roxy, their father snaps -- and kicks her out of their Manhattan town house. Alone in the city, Roxy is determined to make it big and show them all . . . but how? A chance meeting with a stranger opens the door to a whole new life when he introduces her to the tantalizing world of high-class escorts, where Roxy will be taught how to walk, talk, and dress to seduce. She will be pampered, polished, and perfected in the art of satisfying the world's wealthiest men, and the rewards surpass Roxy's most extravagant dreams. But when a shattering tragedy reunites Roxy and Emmie, will the secrets shared between sisters bind them together -- or tear them apart forever?
