The Love Interest

A swoony, hilarious and heartfelt YA romcom with a satirical twist on the conventions of the superhero-verse. This original, speculative debut will be backed by a worldwide Bloomsbury marketing campaign!

17-year-old Jenna Ray lives in the picturesque coastal town of Nine Trees, which is famous for a dramatic prophecy. In 2024, a new Hero is set to emerge – an event that is usually accompanied by a catastrophic disaster. When Blaze, the new Hero, does arrive, Jenna has the misfortune of being the first person he saves. And, in the eyes of the public, that means one thing: Jenna Ray is cast as “the Love Interest”.

Nothing could be more repellent to Jenna than being a love interest, even if Blaze is cute and charming. But her plans to defy the HPA (the Heroics and Power Authority) and turn down this new role are thwarted when she uncovers the truth about her mum, who she hasn’t seen in ten years, and is faced with a life-changing proposition: become Blaze’s love interest to get close to him and learn about the HPA’s secret plans, and she can see her mum again…
