Zara Voss thought she hit rock bottom when she lost her fiancé, her promotion, and her job, all in one day. But things gets worse when she’s tricked into joining The Love Trials, a high-stakes experiment run by the mysterious NovaGen Labs. The catch? The experiment uses emotion enhancing Nanobots to create the “perfect” romance, and Zara is the unwilling test subject. Now, she’s stuck in a futuristic dating competition with five suitors including her arrogant, infuriating career rival, Ethan. As she’s forced through a series of escalating “love trials,” Zara quickly realizes something is wrong. The emotions feel too intense. The technology is too invasive. And NovaGen’s interest in her and Ethan seems far more sinister than advertised. When Zara and Ethan uncover a shocking secret, one that suggests NovaGen isn’t just testing love, but controlling it, they must decide: play along, or fight back? But in a world where emotions can be programmed, can they even trust what they feel for each other? One thing is certain, falling in love was never part of the plan.
