My name is Zoe Miller, and all I wanted was a bag of damn freeze-dried strawberries.
Instead, I found myself trapped inside a grocery store while the world fell apart around me. The screaming started first. Then came the running, the blood, and those things moving faster than anything dead should be able to move. When one of them charged straight toward me, I froze, certain I was about to die.
Then a man stepped between us and struck it down.
From that moment on, he refused to leave my side.
He barely knew me, but he protected me like I was the most important person left in the world. He kept me close, watched every shadow, and placed himself between me and every threat without hesitation. The longer we stayed together, the more protective he became-and the faster his feelings for me grew.
As cities fall and the infected spread across the world, survival becomes our only goal. But somewhere between the fear, the running, and the constant danger, he starts falling for me harder than either of us expected.
In a world where everything can be taken away in seconds, he is determined not to lose me.
