Synopsis Passion as quoted: "A strong and barely controllable emotion, a powerful feeling." Chelsea James had been in love with her bestfriend, Tariq ever since she realized her feelings for him at a camp; he was all she thought about. She thought he was the one for her but there's a secret of his that he's hiding that may ruin their friendship. However, Chelsea made it her mission to stop at nothing until he's finally hers; she's got a passion for his love, but unknown to her, 'someone' quite close to her also had their eyes set on her. Follow the teacher's pet, Parker Pecker. Ever since he laid eyes Mrs. Brown, he made it his vow to make her his no matter the circumstances even if it means sucking up to her and being her 'pet'; he's got a passion for her love. But this is reality, not fiction, people don't always get what they want. Chelsea and Parker's life will intertwine as they try to fight for things they can't have even if it means making love with each other to distract and comfort each other from reality's cruelness. Will they still continue to conquer their quest at love or will they slowly fall in love with each other instead? Or will that 'someone' ruin whatever spark they may discover ? So many questions, so many answers but only you will know if you read this book.

"Being reunited with your childhood best friend after eight years apart? Sounds like a heart-warming story. Finding out that said best friend is now a complete jerk who's determined to make your life hell? Not so much." Georgie and Connor were once inseparable. Best friends from birth, they did everything together - well, that was until Connor's dad got a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity and the family was forced to relocate to New York. At age sixteen, Georgie's life is totally different - her main goal being to keep her head down and escape the brutalities of high school with as little emotional scarring as possible. Balancing school, work and her dwindling social life is enough of a challenge, but it's about to get a bit more complicated when her conceited ex-best friend gets thrown into the mix. Maybe friendship should come with an instruction booklet.
