Hi there! I hope you had a great weekend. My What's New? for today is Kristen Simmons' new book PACIFICA. The only book by this author I read is Article 5 and while I didn't finish the series, I really liked it, and I've heard amazing things about her standalones.
Check it out and make sure to add it to your TBR!

Pacifica, an all-new stand-alone, near-future adventure from the critically acclaimed author of Article 5 and Metaltown.
Marin
is cosario royalty, a pirate like her father and his father before him.
Sailing the ocean to chase adventure is in her blood. But these days no
one cares that the island town her people call home is named after her
grandfather. They have a new leader, one who promises an end to their
hunger – and one who thinks that girls are meant for the kitchen or the
brothel. Marin knows she's meant for more than that, and with the sudden
influx of weapons on the island, and rumors of a pending deal with the
enemy oil nation in her wake, she knows a big score to gain the
council's favor is the only way to save her people, and herself.
Ross lives a life of privilege. As the president's son he wants for nothing, but he longs for a life of adventure. On a dare, he convinces his best friend Adam to sneak out to the Docks, the site of local race riots between the poor Shorlings and the upper class. But when Adam is arrested along with the other Shorlings, and not even the president is willing to find him, Ross finds himself taking matters into his own hands. He journeys back into the Docks, ready to make deals with anyone, even a beautiful pirate, if it means Adam's safe return.
When Marin and Ross meet in dangerous Shoreling territory he sees a way to get his friend back and she sees her ticket home. The ransom a president’s son would command could feed her people for years and restore her family’s legacy. But somewhere in the middle of the ocean, Marin must decide if her heart can handle handing over the only person who has ever seen her as more than a pirate.
