In Dr. Faulkner’s new world, all citizens are devoid of emotion—all except for two deviants.
Anna Anna Chaplin harbors a secret—one that could place her in grave danger. Trapped in a world where emotions no longer exist… or that’s what was supposed to happen. Somehow, she is spared from this brutality, but that doesn’t render her free from danger. In fact, it makes her a target. Desperate to escape this nightmare, she works feverishly to develop an antidote to save the world. What she’s not prepared for is falling in love with someone so vastly different from her, yet the same.
Winston Winston Hitcher never would’ve imagined someone like Anna to give him a second thought, let alone her heart. But when they find themselves living their worst nightmare, their worlds collide in exponential ways. What begins as desperation soon blends with their growing feelings for each other, but any hope for a future together teeters on the edge of potential disaster.
No one must know they still have emotions. If Dr. Faulkner ever finds out, they’re certain he won’t let them live.
They must work together to develop an antidote to save countless innocent citizens, but their bravery could cost them their lives.
Will they survive this impossible situation?
Or will their secret ultimately lead to their deaths?
Viola Tempest is a dystopian fantasy and paranormal romance author who yearns to expose the truth of those in the modern world: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Her inspiration primarily stems from life experiences, those who annoy her, ex-boyfriends, and the crazy dreams that pop into her head every once in a while.
What if you lived in a society where nobody felt any emotions but you did? How could you hide any feelings that you might have? Anna Chaplin is a young woman trying to deal with living this type of life when she meets a young military man who also shows signs of having feelings. Will they be able to build a life together or will they have to continue to live a life without emotion?
