Illegal

In Valerie Rose's world, everything is controlled by the government. Each new born child is tattooed with a number on their upper stomach, and the number represents their existence. On an appointed day of every year, all eighteen-year-olds are to be paired to their 'soul mate' whom they will devote the rest of their lives. On the night of the Pairing Festival, each eighteen-year-old celebrates with a party.

Living the last moment of her life as a single, Valerie decides to spend a carefree, wild night. She ignores all the thoughts and worries of her own life, but who knew so much could happen in one night?

She finds herself caught up in a romance with a fascinating, yet exasperating boy named Calum, who is not her Chosen Mate. As she discovers growing conflict that threatens to lose the ones she love, she also learns that her secret mystery boy is the only person she can completely trust.
