How long would you survive?
 
Gemma thought she'd seen the last of Christopher Daley. She was wrong. When she ends up trapped in the city after an event that devastates society, Gemma has to trust the man who broke her heart as they set out on the long journey back home in a world that will never be the same again.

GEMMA: before her best friend died, Gemma made her a promise. Gemma leaves four-year-old CJ with his grandmother and catches the train to a law firm in the city to fulfil it.
 
CHRISTOPHER: scarred by a disastrous marriage, and the secret weighing him down, Christopher steers clear of women looking for a commitment. Then Gemma turns up at his office, and drops a bombshell that will have him questioning everything he believed.

They have no idea what is about to happen ...

THE PULSE: while Gemma is still in Christopher's office, the country is devastated by an event that wipes out electricity, communication, and most forms of transport. By the end of the night, the city is in chaos.

THE JOURNEY: Over three hundred miles from home, Gemma's only concern is getting back to young CJ, and his grandmother.
 
Christopher is worried about his own family, and there was no way in good conscience he could let Gemma travel so far alone in a world that had suddenly changed. 

Together they set out for home, terrified of what the future holds.

Jane |18+| ✔️ by IMZoetic

When twenty-year-old Jane Albright arrives at the unwelcome conclusion that her life is absolutely aimless, mundane, and downright futile, she makes a rash decision to leave all she's ever known, along with her human zone, in search of a fresh start. Even being incredibly thorough, meticulous and highly wary when mapping out her road trip to the north, the astute woman unknowingly crosses into Blood Moon Territory when she accidentally runs into car trouble and the Alpha himself. Everything Jane has been taught since the ripe age of understanding the tier of her hierarchy and the superior race is either tested or outright disputed, landing her deeper into a world she never wanted to be part of. She constantly fights for her life and freedom while being played and manipulated to the point she teeters on this side of insanity. - Jane - is not your typical human who meets and falls in love with the Alpha kind of read. It's much darker, with pockets of humour and sheer sorrow. The struggle between her heart and mind is a constant brutal battle as she tries to navigate the unrelenting debacle situation she finds herself in. - Jane is a dystopian/paranormal/fictional read chock-full of twists and turns, humour and horror - oh, and a good dash of (throat clear) explicit scenes. Warning: Jane is intended for MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY |18+|. Please be advised there are many sensitive topics present throughout the story, including but not limited to: descriptive violence, strong profanity, and graphic sex scenes.

*****THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A MASSIVE REWRITE - FINAL WORK IS CURRENTLY BEING POSTED AS A NEW STORY ON MY PAGE - UPDATES SPORADIC ***** "You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is 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.

‼️****MATURE CONTENT****‼️🔞 Book One (1) I covered myself immediately but his hands were just as quick as he pinned my wrist. How could he be so calm? We were friends, not lovers.

The Longest Drive by AedanSayla

He watched me. He wanted me. He stalked me. I asked him to leave me alone, but does a tiger leave its prey? In the end though it was my choice to go with him. Jolana really didn't know why she'd decided to stay for the summer in Oregon, instead of going home to South Africa for a visit, but the answer soon came. With that answer came a choice and she chose the hard way, because it was in her nature to love. Love, however, was the last thing the man who'd stalked her for over a month deserved surely and yet God's Grace is freely given to all. Sometimes one has to find out the hard way just how far one can trust God to keep you and bring you through to the end. The Longest Drive is the beginning of a four book series entitled Apocalypto. As the title of the series would suggest things have a way of going wrong in a bad way quite quickly. Each story within this series is independent of each other and yet they all help to answer the question of, "Where will you be when things go wrong?" The better question is, "Will you do the right thing, when that time comes?" In this series expect to find intensely felt erotic passion, faith that moves mountains, and the desperate actions of those who love each other as they fight to survive one more day in a world where society has fallen and there's a natural disaster around each new corner. This is Christian Erotic Themed Fiction with an Apocalyptic flare told over into a modern era of a time that could happen any moment now.
