**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.

Roseanne Park was born into one of the most powerful families in Korea, but power did not save her. As a child, she was cast out of the Park household by her stepmother and erased from the family that should have protected her. Stripped of her name, wealth, and place in society, Roseanne vanished from Seoul and spent the next twelve years surviving far from the world she once belonged to. Then the past called her back. After her grandmother's death, Roseanne is summoned to Seoul to claim a massive inheritance. But there is one condition: to receive it, she must be married. Roseanne has no desire to reclaim the Park family legacy. She has already built her own power far from them. Returning to Korea is only meant to secure a business partnership with one of the country's most influential corporations. Kim Capital Holdings. What she doesn't know is that its CEO, Kim Jisoo, has been searching for her since the day she disappeared. For twelve years, he never stopped looking. As their paths finally crossed, buried secrets began to claw their way to the surface, and powerful forces stirred in the shadows, watching, waiting. Roseanne's return was never meant to be simple and at the eye of the storm stood Kim Jisoo, silent, unyielding, and knowing far more than she could imagine. ** This is a Chaesoo fanfiction Disclaimer This book is a work of fiction.
