Description
Summary:"Vivian Bowen leaves Earth for Mars, seeking safety and a fresh start after seven long years in a climate refugee camp. She's determined to fulfill her contract as a Red Mother by selecting a Martian partner and bearing genetically modified children to fund her family's survival back on Earth. In sixty days, everything will be secure. But beneath the glamorous lifestyle of the Martian oligarchs, with luxurious gowns, lavish balls, and charming suitors, lies a dark reality. The Red Mothers initiative is controlled by the Intelligence, an AI worshipped as a god, indifferent to the pain the women will experience as they carry out their contractual duties. When her younger sister is seduced by a dangerous Martian soldier and breaks her contract, Vivian joins forces with Xavier Dorsey -- a charismatic and infuriating Martian politician hellbent on shutting down the Red Mothers initiative. Caught between the security she's always craved and a passion-filled-but-uncertain future, Vivian must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice for freedom -- and for love." -- from amazon.com
