**DELUXE EDITION featuring stenciled edges plus foil and embossed cover effects.**

It’s the near future USA. An algorithm now chooses your soulmate. But what happens when your heart chooses someone else?

A compulsively readable, slow-burn romance set in a dystopian world where science says who’s allowed to marry… and which loves are forbidden, from French Wattpad sensation Lyla Mars.

In the District State of New California, every resident is assigned a soulmate by the all-knowing Algorithma. A perfect match determined by science, not love.

Eliotte Wager has always known who she wants her match to be: Ashton Meeka, the boy she’s loved since childhood. But when the Matrimonial Office reveals her results, Eliotte learns she’s been paired not with Ashton, but with his older brother, Izaak—a man she hates. He’s cold, arrogant…and according to the data, he’s 98.8% compatible.

Eliotte’s faith in the system has been shaky for years, but now, being forced into a marriage she doesn’t want, the world around her becomes unrecognizable. Izaak doesn’t believe in his father’s government, the Science that bound them together, or in love itself. Yet when his rebellion takes a perilous turn, Eliotte discovers the many cracks in the life she knew—and a side to Izaak she never expected.

As scandal erupts around their union and whispers of a revolution grow too loud to ignore, Eliotte and Izaak must rely on each other to survive. And in a system designed to control every move, giving in to what burns between them might be the one true choice they have.
