When life is a struggle, love is the ultimate luxury.
Librarian Eden Fairfax knows exactly where to find books
about survival. None of them mentioned how to manage in the
aftermath of a worldwide epidemic—with two young orphans in
tow.
On a journey south to warmer climes, she finds sanctuary for
all three of them among a community of survivors in Seattle.
Until she realizes the children are the centerpiece of their
bizarre new religion. There’s no choice but to run as far
and as fast as her stolen car will go.
Former Army Ranger Connor Reed had planned to live out the
end of the world in peace. Yet he can’t stand by and do
nothing while a lone woman defends two children from an
armed thug. Even if doing something means taking the trio
in.
Eden’s not sure if the armed hermit is her salvation or an
even more dangerous threat. A blizzard forces her to trust
him with their lives, and in Connor’s arms she remembers
what it’s like to live.
Just beyond the edge of the storm, though, the cult leader
awaits his chance to get his hands on the children—and make
Eden his next sexual sacrifice.
Warning: This book contains a strong, silent action-hero, a
tough, tenacious heroine, a pair of steal-your-heart kids,
and a pony-sized dog named Precious.
