The Purge. Breathe Into My Neck.
Twelve hours of lawlessness. Twelve hours when the law is silent and blood speaks.
Evelyn Blackwood, twenty-seven years old, a former artist, has turned her home into a fortress. She has survived two Purges. She has killed a man. She swore to herself that she would never hide again while someone died nearby.
When she finds a wounded stranger under an old oak tree, she breaks the main rule - never open the door. Korian Drake - a former soldier of a private military company, a fugitive hunted by his own former brothers in arms. He used her house as a refuge. He watched her for three days. He knows her name, her habits, her fears.
Now they are locked together in a concrete basement. Around them - the Purge, full of murderers and madmen. And behind the door - four professionals who want Korian dead, and Evelyn along with him.
She does not trust him. He does not deserve trust. But to survive until dawn, they must become a team. Or die alone.
A novella about two broken people who find each other in hell. A slow coming together through pain, fear, and blood. No sweet lies. No cheap chemistry. Only darkness. And the light that breaks through it, against all odds.
