Book description
When your body betrays you and your government might kill you for it,
can you really trust a sexy man is all he seems? In an Orwellian future
world, highly skilled professionals must be sexually suppressed, to
focus them better on their work. They get one week per year to
procreate-a 'heat phase' allocated to them by computer. Holly had been
ready to give up everything for her career as a doctor-including her
sexual urges. Her body rejected the treatment, denying her access to
higher medical training, but Holly used her aunt's connections to the
clinic to cheat the system. Now she's an unsuppressed woman struggling
to hide in plain sight, and to control her desires without being
discovered. If the government finds out she's faking it, they'll likely
kill her. So when a sexy medical student named Scott turns on the charm
while flashing the wrist tattoos that mark them both as suppressed,
Holly is terrified of letting down her guard with him. Could there
really be a secret resistance faction whose aim is to abolish the
suppression laws? And if she gives in to Scott's advances, will there be
terrible consequences? Amy Valenti is a tarnished tease, and her mind
has lived in the gutter since the day she realised what sex was. She
hails from England, which she doesn't find quite as exotic and sexy as
the average US citizen seems to, but if people want to compliment her on
her accent, that's all fine with her! Her muses are many, fickle and
very demanding. She has a degree in creative writing and currently works
as a proofreader/copy editor. In her free time, she reads, writes and
plays videogames. On the rare occasions she doesn't have a laptop on her
knee, she loves to curl up with friends and pets - and chocolate - for
TV show and movie marathons.
