Their first kiss was not without technical shortcomings. His glasses bumped against the bridge of her nose and her back pressed uncomfortably against the edge of a filing cabinet. But as she inhaled the scent of his aftershave, Nadia was struck with the kind of certainty that only visits upon twenty-two-year-olds. Somehow she knew that for as long as she lived, there would never be another kiss as perfect or as profound.
THE BIGGEST STORY WAS ALWAYS THE ONE BETWEEN THEM
In the cramped basement office of their university newspaper, Jake and Nadia break a huge story that exposes a decade of institutional corruption. In the quieter hours, they also fall in love.
Then Nadia leaves.
A decade later, she returns from New York, once a fast-rising finance hotshot, now exiled after a deal gone wrong. Back in Sydney, Jake has forged a reputation as a crusading reporter whose by-line regularly brings down the rich and powerful.
Battlelines are drawn when they’re each pulled into the orbit of a biotech visionary whose start-up becomes Nadia’s big break and the target of Jake’s latest investigation. As old wounds flare, both must decide how far they’ll go to come out on top.
Clear-eyed and taut, Good Intentions asks if it is possible to be a good person in a morally grey world, and what happens when someone you once loved with your whole heart threatens to topple everything you’ve built.
