From the #1 bestselling author of The Watchmaker of Filigree
Street, a queer sci-fi novel about a refugee from Earth and a
xenophobic Mars politician who agree to a fake marriage after a
media encounter damages both their reputations.In the wake of
environmental catastrophe, January, once a principal in London's
Royal Ballet, has become a refugee on Tharsis, the terraformed
colony on Mars. In Tharsis, January's life is dictated by his
status as an Earthstronger-a person whose body is not adjusted to
Mars's lower gravity and so poses a danger to those born on, or
naturalized to, Mars. January's job choices, housing, and even
transportation options are dictated by this second-class status,
and now a xenophobic politician named Aubrey Gale is running on a
platform that would make it all worse: Gale wants all
Earthstrongers to be surgically naturalized, a process that is
always disabling and can be deadly.When Gale chooses January for an
on-the-spot press junket interview that goes horribly awry,
January's life is thrown into chaos, but Gale's political fortunes
are damaged, too.Gale proposes a solution to both their problems: a
five year made-for-the-press marriage that would secure January's
future without immediate naturalization and ensure Gale's political
future. But when January accepts the offer, he discovers that Gale
is not at all like they appear in the press. They're kind,
compassionate, and much more difficult to hate than January would
wish.But as their romantic relationship develops, the political
situation worsens, and January discovers Gale has an enemy, someone
willing to destroy all of Tharsis to make them pay - and January
may be the only person standing in the way.
