An Ocean Apart

In this companion novel to The Dividing Sky, a young woman must save her poverty-stricken community by entering a dating competition, despite her feelings for her childhood best friend. She must now decide between her mission and her heart in this page-turning dystopian romance.

Eden Lowell lives with her crush Henry, which sounds way better than it is. She doesn’t have time to be in love with him on top of struggling to survive in the Marshes. Her flooded community in southern Florida is water starved. Eden blames the Cruisers, the wealthy corporate elite who travel the world on massive ships instead of facing the environmental crimes they’ve committed on land.

One of the wealthiest Cruiser families controls the majority of the world's clean water. So, when Eden learns that their heir Theo Desjardins is looking to find a companion through a dating competition aboard his ship, she sees an opportunity. Eden takes it upon herself to sneak onboard and into the competition with the help of a political prankster known only as the Jester and—Henry?

Eden’s original plan was to win Theo over and convince him to help save the Marshes. But as she gets to know Theo more and grows closer to Henry, she must now decide between her mission and her heart.
