Vera Cayce's life is slowly, but vigorously building back up around her and it's almost impossible to believe that it all can come tumbling down one late night. 

In fact, it all did when Vera saved race-car driver, Roy Griffin from dying of a sudden cardiac arrest. Only later, does she realize that maybe Roy didn't want to be saved that night. 

And when the two continue to bump egos almost everywhere - Vera comes to the decision that it's just too late and she's already too attached.

Touch Me Not (Manwhore Series #1) by AprylBaker7

A past tragedy has left Lily Holmes burdened with a devastating secret... Since the death of her twin sister, Lily can't bear to be touched. Not accidentally, not casually...and certainly not intimately. This makes it impossible for her to confess to her best friend Adam Roberts that she's in love with him. She can't give him the sort of relationship he needs, so she watches in silence while he plans his wedding with someone else. Enter Nikoli Kinkaid, the campus manwhore... Nikoli is a self-proclaimed connoisseur of women, and he wants to add Lily to his list of conquests, but she wants nothing to do with him-until he makes her an offer she can't refuse. He'll teach her to enjoy human contact again, giving her a chance to win over Adam, while Nikoli uses all his considerable charm to seduce her. But Lily raises the stakes... Lily loves cars. Her late father was a racer, and she grew up under the hood of a car and on the racetrack. Nikoli has a limited edition car she covets, so she informs him the terms of their deal also require he not sleep with anyone for six months. If he does, she'll win the car. If she surrenders and ends up in his bed, his beloved 'Cuda is his to keep. In an intricate dance of control and surrender, a reluctant friendship becomes something more. Lily begins to crave things she never believed she could, and Nikoli realizes there is more at stake than his reputation. If Lily overcomes her phobia, will she crave Adam's touch as she's starting to crave Nikoli's? Or will she only find pleasure from the touch of a semi-reformed manwhore?

His Sunshine | ✓ by pink_flamingo_09

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

A teen from a racing family must choose between family obligations and the singing career he longs for. *** Mason's parents had a dream. They wanted their sons to race, and as car mechanics, they had spared no expense to ensure their sons were trained to the best of their ability. It was a family dream, and on the side, Mason would sing. After his brother, Haneul passed away, and the future became bleak, Mason had accepted that the only way to seek the light would be to make his parent's dream come true. Giving up his singing was an easy compromise to make; following it through, however, was a much more arduous task. The time he once spared for making Youtube videos and gigging at local pubs was long gone, but he still maintained his secret; he still sang for himself. With first love blooming and friends preparing for their futures, it soon dawns on Mason just how much he is giving up to keep his parents happy. Maybe his parents are asking too much. But when he is forced to return home each day and see his mother become a shell of the person who had raised him, he is reminded of the reasons why he had agreed to carry out his promise. He'll have wasted so much time and effort if he changes his mind now. But when does Mason get to choose his own happiness?
