Mixed Signals eBook

"This trilogy gets better with each book." -Library Journal"Cole's Off the Grid series succeeds because it captures the unsettling details of its dystopian setting beautifully, but also because its main characters are so very human and relatable." RT Book Reviews"This is friends-to-lovers romance but it's in the science-fiction story line where Cole really shines. The setup of Mixed Signals seems eerily plausible, and the entwined love story will satisfy sci-fi and romance readers alike." New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLeanWinner of the RT Reviewer's Choice Best Futuristic Romance of 2015A Washington Journal Best Romance of November 2015Four years after the Flare, the world is finally starting to rebuildFor Maggie Seong, that means leaving the safety of her family's cabin for college. She won't be alone, though hunky former military cadet Edwin Hernandez, family friend and self-appointed Protector of Maggie's Virtue, will be there. Maggie would much prefer that Edwin himself dispose of her "innocence," but he's already rejected her advances once, and a girl has her pride. Things look pretty bleak romance-wise until Maggie discovers that Devon, the pre-Flare internet boyfriend she'd assumed was dead, is not only alive but on campus. Despite the passage of time, their bond is strong, and they quickly pick up where they left off. Even as Devon aims for a chance at love IRL everything Maggie thought she'd wanted Edwin's desire to protect her makes her question her heart. Maggie's torn between the future she didn't dare to hope for and the past she can't let go of. And when a group of neo-Luddite terrorists threaten the campus, everyone's loyalties will be tested. To ensure that the world doesn't go back to the dark days following the Flare, Maggie might have to sacrifice it all. One-click with confidence.
