Looking for direction, she takes a chance and puts her trust in the universe. But the universe works in bizarre ways, and Kate finds herself knee deep in the competitive trenches of a donut shop war. A Note from the Author: Donut Fiend is inspired by various employment escapades, unforgettable colleagues, and the juggernaut of retail war.

Zach does nothing but touch people outside of his. Twenty Years after a pathogen wipes out most of the world, Kit is living in one of the few remaining settlements, one of the two to be exact, and she's bored out of her mind. But that doesn't mean she wants anything to do with the arrogant, crude talking boy from the neighbouring settlement. Kit may be bored, but she's not stupid, and she's not looking for the type of excitement she imagines he has to offer. However, when Kit's weekly escape from her dull life is threatened, her only option is to spend time with a boy she would normally avoid at all costs. What happens when a sixteen-year-old girl from a settlement that prohibits physical contact spends time with a boy from a settlement who has not grown up with the same restrictions? Nothing good.
