The Compound by Aisling Rawle

Lily, a bored, beautiful twentysomething, wakes up on a remote desert compound alongside nineteen other contestants on a popular reality TV show. To win, she must outlast her housemates while competing in challenges for luxury rewards. The cameras are catching all her angles, good and bad, but Lily has no desire to leave: Why would she, when the world outside is falling apart? As the competition intensifies, intimacy between the players deepens, and as the line between playing the game and surviving begins to blur, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between desire and desperation.
