Post Plague Kidnapping - Published!
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.

He is not alone, however, as reincarnated bounty hunter Leah believes that Liam holds the key to reversing the pandemic that created her race.

THE RISKS
"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, 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.
ALL THAT FOLLOWS - A Zombie Story
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.Complete
