How I Live Now (2013): The War That Awakened Her Forbidden Desires

A Girl, A War, And A Dangerous Love
She came for a quiet summer. She found a war—and a forbidden l.o.v.e that would rip her world apart. Daisy, a reckless American teenager, lands in the English countryside, rebellious, bitter, craving control. But control shatters when she meets Edmund, her silent, watchful cousin.
Their glances linger too long. Their touches burn too deep. And when Europe collapses into chaos, the unthinkable happens—they fall, hard and fast, into each other’s arms. War devours everything—except their forbidden craving.
Survival, Lust, and The Edge of Madness
Bombs explode. Soldiers invade. Daisy and Edmund are forced apart. But separation only sharpens the hunger—both for survival and for each other.
In the mud, in the forests, in abandoned houses, Daisy fights starvation, violence, and the twisted fantasies the war plants inside her.
Because in a world stripped of law, only two things remain—the instinct to survive… and the thirst for forbidden touch.
