Books with title Kiss

Sylvie and Carl have been friends since they were tiny children. They've always played together, called each other boyfriend and girlfriend and, deep down, Sylvie has always believed that they'd end up married to each other. They even have a a magical fantasy world that belongs to them alone. But as they become older, things are starting to change. Sylvie would still rather spend all her time with Carl – but Carl has a new friend, Paul, who is taking all his attention. Now, Carl seems much less happy to be called Sylvie's boyfriend – and in a game of spin the bottle, he avoids having to kiss her. Sylvie can tell his feelings have changed and that their future together might not be so clear-cut after all. But can she guess at the true reasons behind it all? Touching and compelling, Kiss is a delicately handled treatment of love and sexuality from award-winning author Jacqueline Wilson.

Vincent Lyons was on the verge of his first kiss in a Hollywood alley when, in an act of unprovoked malice, he was beaten, doused with gasoline, and burned over ninety-five percent of his body. That moment transmogrified a hopeful young man into a walking husk deprived of everything human save a formidable will and larger than life heart. Perhaps in an effort to defeat his greatest inner demon Vincent becomes a fearless Los Angeles firefighter. His fragile, reclusive life is shattered once again when his personal physician and best friend dies and as a last request sends Vincent to a new doctor. Certain that the young Dr. Stella Winters will find him repulsive, he is befuddled by her genuine interest and concern that slowly blossoms into the deepest and purest love. With bleeding edge stem cell therapy Vincent is offered a new life, which leads to the most difficult of decisions: should he regain a human appearance and lose his super-human ability to save lives?
