Strange and terrible things begin to happen to four teenagers - all born on the same Valentine's Day. One of these teenagers is the Valentine- a Seelie fairy changeling swapped for a human child at its birth. The Unseelie have come to kill the Valentine - except they don't know who it is. Pearl shares a birthday with Finn Blacklin. She's known him all her life and disliked every second of it. Now Pearl and Finn must work together to protect themselves from the sinister forces that are seeking them out. But there's one more problem- the explosive chemistry between them ...
Jodi is an author and academic from Kiama, a seaside holiday town on the south coast of New South Wales. She is a literary historian, and her PhD was awarded by Macquarie University in 2015. She is currently a lecturer in English at the University of Tasmania. Her academic work focuses on the history of love, sex, women and girls, popular culture and literatures. It means that reading romance novels and watching The Bachelor is technically work for her. You can find Jodi on Twitter at @JodiMcA, where she tweets regularly about her research, her writing, cool things she finds interesting, her hero worship of Kate Bush, and rainbows outside her office window.
