[New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

Colby's story from my original Monster collection, edited and revised to accommodate Wattpad's content guidelines.

Anna never thought she'd have a stepfather. She definitely never thought she'd walk in on him touching himself. Now she can't unsee it. And Steve can't pretend nothing happened. What follows is a dangerous pull neither of them meant to feel, a slow unraveling of boundaries inside a house that suddenly feels too small, too hot, and far too forbidden.

The end came quietly. Survival didn't. Seth walks alone now - through ruins and silence, through the bones of a world that forgot how to live. The dead outnumber the living, and the ones who've survived have learned to be colder than winter steel. But no matter how far he goes, memory follows. Of who he was, of everything he lost. Of the faces that haunt his sleep and the blood that never quite washed off. In a world that punishes kindness and buries the weak, Seth isn't searching for hope. He's just trying not to fall apart. But sometimes, the road doesn't care what you want. Sometimes, it gives you someone to protect - whether you're ready or not. Because even a broken man has one last fight left in him. ___ Note : All That Follows is a sequel to All That Remains. It carries echoes, secrets, and scars from what came before. While it can be read on its own, within these pages lie spoilers, fragments of a past some readers may wish to discover firsthand. Step forward as you will, but know the ghosts are watching.

In a world ravaged by the collapse of civilization, where the dead walk and the living fight for scraps, survival is more than instinct- it's the only thing that matters. Bella Grant, a 21-year-old engineering student, finds herself thrust into a chaotic new reality. When she's saved by Max, a stoic military captain with a dark past, the two must rely on each other to stay alive. But the infected are not the only danger. In this new world where trust is a fleeting memory, Max and Bella discover that the greatest threat to their survival may come from the living. Ruthless and desperate survivors are willing to do anything to claim what's left, testing their courage and their growing bond in ways that could break them. With enemies at every turn and their bond growing stronger, Bella and Max must face the question: will they make it through this brutal new reality, or will the dangers of survival tear them apart? Is there hope left, or is humanity truly lost? And most of all, can they find a way to keep what remains of their lives intact? ___ Note : This is the first book in a three-part series, but can be read as standalone. The story will continue in ALL THAT FOLLOWS, where the scars of survival run deep, and the world is far from done.

When the world crumbles around you, how do you keep hope alive? Mallory, escaping a damaging relationship, struggles to navigate a chaotic world...where a viral outbreak turns helpless victims into ruthless zombies.

He makes a fast friend in a German shepherd yearning for companionship and love in this new, dangerous world. Charlie, restlessly searching for meaning in his life, learns meaning is elusive during an apocalypse. Tremendous obstacles provide him with new self-discoveries. If they can escape the constant peril and find refuge, can they forge a new life from the ruins of the old one? "Race to Refuge" rivets readers with mild thrills in a novel that's not about the zombies...but about the people striving for elusive shelter and a future of hope.

"I want both of you." Aries smirked, a smug look on his face. "And who are we to stop you?" ⋙ Twenty three year old Natalia Maruo moves into a new apartment unaware that her two roommates are incubi fresh out of hell.
