Thrown out of an abusive home, Suki pretends to be Devin's girlfriend while she stays with his family. But what happens when pretend feelings become real? ***** With nowhere to go after being thrown out of an abusive home, Suki asks Devin, a complete stranger, if she can stay the night with him. But what was supposed to be a short-term solution quickly turns into an open-ended promise: if Suki pretends to be Devin's girlfriend to ward off his pushy (if loving) mother, then she can live in his spare bedroom until she sorts out her life. But what happens when pretend feelings become real? Will Suki be able to overcome the fear and pain in her past in order to heal and fall in love?

However, he is battling a mental illness that he just can't seem to get rid of. After being diagnosed with BDD-Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Jack begins to fall into a sense of depression. His mind begins to play tricks on him, making him believe that his outer appearance is grotesque and needs to be hidden from the world.

He's been turned down repeatedly in the past from true beauties, such as, Rapunzel, Snow White, and the one and only, Cinderella; even her ugly step-sisters wouldn't give him a chance. As time passed, his numerous experiences with rejection, his undying fear, and heart-breaking memories made his life seem hopeless, pressuring him to do desperate things. Jack later decides to seek out a way to alter his appearance. He stumbles onto what seems to be the prayer he's been asking for but he accidentally finds it in the wrong place leading him to an evil-minded con-artist. To beat all odds, Jack must face his illness head-on and overcome it before his life is left with nothing but pain, negativity, and regret. Original cover design by: @zuko_42 Art of Zuko

"Not just a flavour, but a way of life." When seventeen-year-old Flo Kennedy is forced to up sticks and trade her life in London for a sleepy seaside town on the south coast, she's anything but excited.

Silently struggling with her parents' death and separation from her sister, Flo's convinced she's in for the worst summer of her life. But when she meets the guy in the ice cream shop, things start to change. It's not long before she lands herself a job, a new set of friends and maybe even the beginnings of first romance. For the first time in several years, she's happy. But Flo knows all too well that things can't stay perfect forever, and after all, being on top of the world only gives you further to fall.
