Opis

The explosive debut by Lauren Parkes Available Now Reviews "The next big thing." Nicola Almond, Twitter advance reader "Debut YA author Lauren Parkes kept me interested with her writing style and great character development in this book. Although I am well past the age of "young adult" ... I would not say this book would only be of interest to that age range... Mind-blowing twists and equally intriguing surprises made this a book I had to read from cover to cover." Noelle, Crimereadjunkie "If you like YA fiction and a rollicking plot then this is going to be your cup of tea " Jenny, Goodreads "Startling debut novel from Lauren Parkes." Liz Anne, beta-reader "A chilling tale of love, deception and greed." Book Description If only the bombing of Dover hadn't gone wrong. Or maybe that was exactly how they planned it: four dead border guards and a stolen casement of fertility medication. The looted cargo of Fertility shocked the nation-a nation grieving the loss of natural fertility, a people reliant upon assisted birthing schemes to provide a next generation. It lodged a stone the size of a coconut in the windpipes of every twenty-something female with a pulse. Everyone that is, except Jade Rose. Newlywed Jade did not need Fertility to get pregnant. Focusing on a way to stay under the radar amidst rising political tensions, Jade inadvertently finds herself the target of resistance movement Freedom. David 'Blue' Azure should not have been anywhere near Dover terminal when the bomb exploded. The gun wasn't even his. Dejected, he enlists in Freedom. But when a plan to recover the stolen Fertility becomes a kidnapping, Blue comes face to face with Jade. Jade and Blue should have nothing in common. Young, pregnant wife of a pharmaceutical heir and a murderer. But they did. Once. On the day of the Dover attack.
