"Sheltered her entire life, Jubilee Thornton yearns to spread her wings and fly after a childhood marked by illness. Her first goal? To attract the attention of the handsome schoolteacher she’s had a crush on for years, Heath DiMarco. One fateful night, Jubilee throws caution to the wind and kisses Heath—until he pushes her away and tells her they can never be together. Heartbroken, Jubilee vows to forget Heath and live the life she’s always wanted. In a fit of inspiration, she creates a list of resolutions: to go skinny-dipping, to go on dates, and to finally lose her virginity. Heath DiMarco moved to the small town of Fair Haven seven years ago to escape the memories of his past. Now a well-respected elementary school teacher, he can’t afford to have a dalliance with the youngest sister of his best friend, no matter how much that single kiss on Halloween night shook his world. That is until Heath finds Jubilee’s list of risqué resolutions. He can’t bear the thought of her with any man but him. Yet he knows he can’t have her himself. Instead, Heath decides he’ll vet the men Jubilee wants to date. Jubilee agrees, but only if he teaches her how to flirt—and how to kiss. He knows he should tell her no, but he can’t resist the temptation she presents. As desire heats to a roaring flame between them, secrets threaten everything they both hold dear. Unless they untangle themselves from a dangerous web of lies, they will face heartbreak—or be transformed by a passionate love."

Année 2279. La planète s’apprête à traverser une crise sociale et environnementale sans précédent. Les inégalités de classes entre les Éternels et les Éphémères atteignent leur paroxysme. L’ère de l’immortalité touche à sa fin, embarquant les populations dans un tourbillon d’interrogations, et les dirigeants dans des stratagèmes où l’éthique n’a pas sa place. Deux personnages occuperont un rôle crucial à l’aube de ce nouveau pan de l’Histoire. D’un côté Harold, usé par ses relations familiales et des capacités qui le dépassent, de l’autre Jeanne, frustrée par son extraordinaire absence de facultés. Au coeur de la forêt primaire, aux côtés de la dernière tribu libre du monde, tous deux s’appuieront sur la Nature et le Vivant pour trouver des réponses à leur quête de sens. Un roman d’aventure qui rend hommage à tous les opprimés, ces Silencieux qui n’en pensent pas moins. Cette histoire se déroule chronologiquement après « Les Éphémères sont éternels ». Pour autant, les deux livres peuvent se lire indépendamment et dans l’ordre qui vous plaira.
