The One

They all came to find love, but only some will leave with their lives

THE WILDS meets Sophie Gonzales NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER for thriller fanatics, romance lovers and the reality TV-obsessed

Constance Berardi signs up to teen reality dating show, The One, to prove that she's over her ex-girlfriend. What seems like a free vacation and a second chance at romance quickly takes a sinister turn when a plane crash leaves contestants deserted on an island.

That night, one of the girls is murdered. And the weapon? A blood-stained stiletto – found in Constance’s hand.

With no memory of the night before, Constance has no idea if she’s the murderer – or if she’s being framed.

With Easton (whose eyes seriously aren’t that piercing) convinced of her innocence, they search the island for clues and accidentally uncover dangerous secrets.

As supplies dwindle and tensions rise, Constance must discover the truth or die trying….

Galbraith blends high-stakes survival with the deliciously messy drama of reality TV in a way that hooks you from the very first page. The One is packed with suspense, romance, and pulse-pounding twists. A thrilling debut!
