HEAVEN & HELL

A beautiful shy girl with an hourglass figure, and who has the self-esteem of a slug - for now. Pearl Ashton: Older half-sister of Amelia, twin sister of Ruby. Model and would-be actress who thinks the sun shines out of her darkest recess but thinks her sun shines brighter than Ruby's. Ruby Ashton: Older half-sister of Amelia, twin sister of Pearl. Model and would-be actress who thinks the sun shines out of her darkest recess but thinks her sun shines brighter than Pearl's. Rene Ashton: Three times divorced mother of the twins and Amelia, who doesn't know the meaning of the word 'maternal'.

Amelia Ashton was having one of those days.She was dragging her wheeled suitcase up the pea gravelled drive of her new employer, which was rather more difficult than she ever imagined.Then she had to fight with her umbrella in the gale force wind and then the teeming rain, which had poured down as if God was pouring a bucket of water directly over her which had ruined her long glossy hair frizzing it up and turning it into a rats nest within five seconds of getting out of the cab.The last straw had been the stupid pea gravel that got stuck in the wheels of her case and stopped dead almost dragging her arm out of the socket. Her hand slipped off the handle and she only just saved herself from face planting on the drive. That was all she needed, to be picking gravel from her chin in front of her new employer.Taking a deep calming breath, “Keep calm, you can do this,” she muttered under her breath. She ha

Waving her hands in front of her face, and blowing her breath upwards to dispel the burning heat, Millie went back to the kitchen, feeling relieved that she was alone in the house. She definitely needed time to recover from her late start and the news of that wretched forfeit jar. She blushed scarlet again as she remembered what Nick had said 'specifically interact with others.' Bloody hell

Just leave me alone!" Millie's voice was getting louder."No I can't invite you, how can I just invite you here on my first day?

She felt beautiful to hold, her soft, plump curves fitted against his hard muscles, and he gently rubbed her back, trying to soothe the upset away. "Now let's try again, who was on the phone?" Millie gulped, she would have to tell them who it was at least. She would just say they had argued. "It.." she hitched breath, "it was my sisters, my twin sisters." Nick put his hands on her shoulders and held her away from him so that he could see her face. "Your twin sisters? They frighten you that much?" "Nick" Gabriel shook his head. "Come and sit down, love." Nick grabbed a couple of beers from the fridge "would you like a drink Amelia?" She shook her head "no, thank you." "So you have twin sisters, are they older than you?" Gabriel asked, knocking the top off his beer. "They are three years older than
