A couple fights their way back to each other in a post-apocalyptic world after one gives their spot in California’s last known haven to the other, in this captivating dystopian romance about
sacrifice, survival, and unshakeable love.

For years, Jules and Rico have only had each other—through the burning heat, hunger, and sleepless nights in the Wasteland. Their only hope of escape? Winning the lottery into the Oasis, the last haven in California.

Against all odds, Rico’s number is selected, and he gives his spot to Jules. Their sheriff would put him in prison for his role in a failed rebellion, anyway. But even in a fancy city, Jules can’t stop thinking about Rico—or how to save everyone she left behind.

Then Rico learns the lottery was rigged. The rebels have a new plan—with Rico at its center. If he refuses to help, Jules won’t survive paradise.  

Now their relationship is being tested in more ways than one. Is there a future for the two of them . . . or is this the end of everything?
