An Ocean Apart is an electrifying dystopian novel packed with a tantalising love triangle, gripping political intrigue, and a Bachelor-style competition from the critically acclaimed author of The Dividing Sky, Jill Tew.

"If you think that romance compromises a dystopian novel's ability to deliver sharp commentary, The Dividing Sky is here to prove you wrong." -- Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Eden Lowell has plenty to be frustrated about. In the flooded Marshes of former Miami, each day is about survival. Even her feelings for her best friend Henry are more complicated than they should be. Luckily, Eden knows exactly who to blame - the Cruisers, corporate elite who sail the world on massive ships instead of facing the environmental crimes they've committed on land.

When Eden learns that a Cruiser family is hosting a dating competition for their heir, Theo Desjardins, she seizes an opportunity. Aided by a political agitator known as the Ringmaster, she'll infiltrate the competition, break Theo's heart, and then steal his money for the Marshes. A perfect plan, until she gets to know Theo, who's not only handsome but surprisingly kind.

As Eden drifts deeper into the Cruisers' world, the line separating truth and lies becomes murky. Torn between two identities, two loves, and two futures, will she choose the mission, or her heart?
