He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

Part 1 of the "Resilience" Saga. Elaina Kane was born among the stars on the Ark. Despite having a councilman father, she never agreed with the unjust system and laws of the ship. Locked up for stealing spare parts and old tech, she didn't expect a second chance-especially not on Earth. Now, she's one of the hundred sent to a ruined planet to test its ability to sustain life again. But survival isn't just about facing what's out there. It's about learning who to trust and what it means to feel something real for the first time. Between deadly secrets, divided loyalties, and an unexpected connection with an unlikely friend, Elaina must figure out who she is in a world that is nothing like the one she came from. On Earth, love is risky. Survival is never guaranteed. But maybe, for the first time...freedom is real. Resilience: noun; the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties.
