[On hiatus.] What would you do if the apocalypse started right now, forcing your entire town to its knees within twenty minutes (1,200,000 milliseconds)? 

It was a generic summer day when Ben and Nate Healy's parents accidentally caused an apocalyptic viral outbreak, leaving the two teens to fend for themselves in the disease-ridden state of Florida. They're left with nothing but a series of videos and an entryway to a mysterious set of underground tunnels to find their way to the safe haven their parents have locked themselves in. However, after realizing the first video was broadcast to the public, they discover they're not the only ones looking to stay healthy.
  
Max and Margot Iyengar will do anything to get into that haven. After losing a friend to the virus, they make a pact to stay together and keep each other out of harm's way. But Max starts to see a different side of Margot-- the side willing to sacrifice anything to find a cure for the virus and save her girlfriend from the label of "Infected." Including Max and anyone else who comes across her path.
  
Fighting for their lives and a spot in the Haven, these four angsty teens team up to take on the other teenage gangs and the conscious diseased that roam the chaotic subworld of the tunnels. But can they survive the Epidemic without becoming Infected? Or will the hazardous disease of insanity get to them first?

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice. Warning: Contains sex, some violence, occasional foul language, and adult issues. Genre: Science Fiction, Romance, Post-apocalyptic, Dark romance Length: 84,468 words This book has been published on Amazon.
