You've heard Katniss' side of the story. Now hear Peeta's! Peeta Mellark is the baker's son; the boy with the bread. Peeta never believed he would be chosen to compete in the Hunger Games, especially not against Katniss Everdeen. He's had a crush on her 'ever since he can remember'. But the true extent of his feelings for her haven't been realised, and initially, Peeta will risk anything to survive- even if that means he'll have to return home without Katniss. But as Peeta's time with Katniss increases, so does his affection towards her. Away from home, he has the opportunity to disentangle his complicated web of emotions. However, what he finds may make it harder for him to accept his fate- especially as his one true love seems hell-bent on winning at any cost.

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?
