Jaci Wheeler

At just sixteen, Rosaline Thatcher is the leader of the free world-but United America has dark secrets to conceal. After adjusting to her new presidential title, Rosaline slips into her role with gusto and works to make United America the best it can be. What she didn't expect was to discover a secret compound, simply referred to as the O.C. When Rosaline orders the presidential council to explain, they refuse to provide answers, forcing Rosaline to take matters into her own hands. Rosaline travels to the O.C., but finds more questions than answers. Deemed an Outcast territory, Rosaline falls in love with the kind, gracious people of the secret division. When she meets key residents of the O.C., they reveal the Ministry had banned them forever once they chose to leave. Now, as ruler, Rosaline is faced with the depth of United America's corruption. When she meets Dex, an unconventional but intriguing member of the O.C, a shocking revelation unfolds... Dex doesn't hold an ounce of traditional charm. Covered in scars and wearing a permanent scowl, he shows glimpses of tenderness only toward his younger sister. But there is more to Dex than he is willing to reveal, and his secrets may bring the downfall of United America. Will Rosaline stay in the O.C., where she is free of the pressures of presidential responsibilities? Or will she return to her position and take on the Council?
