Survivor meets The Bachelor in “Attached at the Hip,” an irresistible, romantic adventure by New York Times bestselling author Christine Riccio.

Orie Lennox has spent her entire life prepping for her happily ever after -- and now that she’s graduated, she’s low-key wondering when it’s going to start. Her love life, her new job, her relationship with her sister: none of it is quite what she envisioned it to be.

One evening, on a whim, she applies for a reality show where she’ll be stranded on an island, with a bunch of strangers, to play a game of human chess for a shot at a million dollars. What better way to force herself to break up with the things that aren’t bringing her joy, than to abandon them all on short notice to live off the grid on a beach in the South Pacific!

Orie's shocked when she ends up cast in an experimental romantic edition of the show: and even more surprised to find that her old high school crush, Remy, has been cast as well. Orie's one of 10 contestants, set to compete in formidable challenges, while speed dating, in the wilderness.

She finds herself tied up–literally–in a game of risky alliances as she navigates ever-growing feelings for her “one that got away,” alongside an exciting array of budding new relationships.
