|| 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.

Have you ever wondered what more you could be missing when you have everything?
Well, Michelle Reynold who is 17, a senior, blond and beautiful, have tons of money to buy whatever she desires, she has popularity in her school, she has amazing friends, and she even has a lifelong enemy. What more could you want, right?
But, no. There's an empty void deep in her which just won't go away. And when she finds herself in front of a guy who's so not her type, the hole only increases. And now she aches for what she never thought she will.
***
Running from the past was what Nobody did. Always. That's how he grew up and now in a new town with new people who are mostly rich and snobby, he doesn't fit. Neither does he want to. All he wants is to remain under the radar and get pass this year and then he'll the gone.
But life doesn't usually go as we expect it to. It never does. And he has to make decisions along the way which will lead him to 'No more running'. Now when he got the glimpse of what it could be like to have someone there for him, he wants it. He craves it.
But both of them are stubborn as hell in their own ways. There's going to be tons of fighting and arguments and lots of stolen heated glances and then there are toe-curling kisses.
