Rebel Hearts

Tanya Byrne

For Ren Barbosa (5 million followers) and Pearl Newman (GreenGirlPearl) the feeling’s mutual – deep, undeniable loathing. Ren hates Pearl’s calmly righteous perfectionism just as Pearl can’t stand the ‘burn it down’ disruption Ren carries out with her wildly popular climate crisis activists, Out of Time and her former situationship, Tab. A loathing that’s complicated further by Renée’s prickly mother being an OG eco-activist turned government influence and Pearl’s idol. Plus Renée being only one arrest away from serious trouble.

But when fate brings the rivals together for a sweltering summer under the guidance of vivacious rebranded influencer, unexpected sparks begin to fly. Increasingly cut off from the outside world, tensions rise as activism and personal lives collide.

But when their fake dates are exposed, Effie and Aiden decide to carry on dating for good, but then, spoiler, nobody believes they really are in a relationship.

But who cares what anyone else thinks? This is Effie and Aiden’s story

When the Howler’s rider is killed during a race, Kel is forced to join forces with arrogant, hot-headed Warren Coupers – the last person she would ever want on her team. But with her rising debts and threats to her beloved phoenix, Savita, the pressure to win has never been higher; and Kel is left with no other choice. As tensions rise on and off the track, a mysterious tech mogul takes an interest in the team. Amidst perilous races, the threat of an unstoppable disease and her growing attraction to Coup, Kel soon uncovers a sinister plot that will threaten everything she cares for, as she fights to keep Savita and her magic out of the hands of those who would use it for their own gain.
