|| Writer of the Year Award -- Second Place Winner ||
Ace Renshaw is a teenage gambler. After his sister left for college and his father turned to alcohol, he was left with nothing but bitter jealousy. His motto? "Love does nothing but destroy." He's turned from romance, and instead, lives off the rush he gets from doing things he shouldn't be doing.
Every month, Ace meets up with a group of friends to make a bet. They'll dare him to do something illegal, something dangerous, something they're convinced he cannot do. Then they sit back and watch as Ace proves them wrong.
One bleak February afternoon, Ace is presented with his hardest challenge yet. Never has he tinkered with emotions before -- it was always breaking and entering, or vandalism, or stealing. But this time? This time, Ace has one month to get a girl who firmly believes in rules to fall in love. With him.
The plan was to seduce her, to lure her in with false flattery and artificial emotions... and then, he'd break her heart. Bonus points if she cried.
And yet, as new friendships are forged, secrets are exposed, and previously unknown emotion starts to blossom, Ace starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, falling in love wouldn't be that disastrous after all.

His voice was low as he stared into my eyes. I was suddenly mute, completely drawn into those warm brown eyes. I don't know why I did, but I leaned into him. Our lips finally colliding.

The Bad Boy Saved Me
Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not?

Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Complete
