Description
They stole her family.
They erased her memories.
But what if the fragments refused to stay buried?
Anna swore survival was her only mission. Until she met him.
A draftee for the regime she despises.
Bound by duty. Trapped like her.
His honey-green eyes unravel her defenses.
Every forbidden glance makes her pulse thunder.
Every touch is fire she can’t resist.
But what if surrendering to him means losing herself?
What if desire is the spark that burns everything down?
Escaping the Primary is a dark, sensual YA dystopian debut that blends forbidden romance, fractured memories, and the brutal fight for survival in a regime that demands obedience. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Red Queen, and From Blood and Ash, this is a story where love is dangerous, rebellion is deadly, and desire could ignite a revolution.

Marketing Plan
The author is building early discovery for Escaping the Primary ahead of the Sept 12 release via NetGalley, Goodreads, Reddit, light retailer ads, and product-page optimization. Goals: 300–500 NetGalley requests and 100–200 posted reviews across Amazon/Goodreads within 4–6 weeks. Approvals will prioritize librarians, educators, and YA/dystopian-romance reviewers, accompanied by a brief reading guide. Amazon A+ Content has been submitted and is pending approval; retail pages are live and will be updated with early pull-quotes. On Goodreads, the author will refresh the book page, add Listopia entries, post periodic author updates, and (timing permitting) run a giveaway; reviewers will be encouraged to cross-post. On Reddit, the author will participate in r/YAlit, r/books, and r/romancebooks discussions with transparent ARC availability and follow subreddit rules. Light Amazon Sponsored Products will target comp titles to drive detail-page visits. Near-term, in-store signings with B&N/indies are being explored, with photos and select pull-quotes to be shared afterward. Success will be measured by requests, approval rate, posted reviews, Goodreads adds, and detail-page views.
