(After High Series # 1) Saffron Rose Borromeo appears to have it all-top grades, family connections, and a guaranteed future in law. But appearances can be deceiving. Maximiliano Jose Delgado is her academic equal and complete opposite. Brilliant, intense, and fiercely independent, he seems to see right through her polished facade-and he clearly doesn't like what he sees. From their first day at the SCA- College of Law, they're locked in a rivalry that goes beyond textbooks and test scores. It's personal. It's consuming. And neither understands why the other brings out such strong reactions. But when good intentions collide with wounded pride, their carefully constructed worlds begin to crumble. Some secrets destroy trust. Some lies are meant to help. And sometimes, the person you're trying to save is the last person who wants your rescue.

The apocalypse wasn't part of Havi's travel itinerary. Neither was Taesson Kwon. Havi only wanted to explore Korea, take pictures, eat good food, and most importantly, check Korea off his bucket list.

Getting attached becomes even more dangerous. Because in an apocalypse where one bite can mean deaths falling in love might be the most fatal attraction of all.
