Evelyn Meyers, a shy and unassuming woman of 25, just found out that she's going to have a baby. She'd always dreamed of being a mother, playing pretend with her dolls all through her childhood, but the timing and circumstances couldn't be worse. 

Less than an hour later she realizes just how dire her situation is when the world around her erupts into sudden violence. People begin attacking and killing each other due to the emergence of a mysterious virus that somehow wipes out a large percentage of the population's minds of all but the most basic human instinct; kill or be killed.

Now instead of worrying about picking out baby names or decorating a nursery for her soon-to-come bundle of joy, Evelyn is driven to fight for her and her child's life along with a diverse group of other immune survivors. Unfortunately they soon learn that the infected aren't the only ones to be feared.

[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.

It was not noticed exactly when people began to fall victim to the broken life of routine and monotony but by the time humanity realized that witnessing strong emotion triggered violence in the infected, it was too late... In a world, where showing emotion is a dangerous weakness, love becomes the only beacon of hope. Evelyn Li is not a fan of risk. Confined to the safety of an underground bunker for the past two years, when Evie stumbles upon a radio broadcast hosted by a mysterious boy with a sharp tongue and an impressive record collection, she's inspired to embark on a mission fuelled by the belief that her family might still be out there (and definitely not because she's desperate to finally meet the boy whose voice has been her sole companion since the darkness descended). Jonathan Johnson is not an optimist and definitely not a romantic. He wasn't at all surprised when the world ended or even when the Soulless took over the streets. With the weight of rising tensions in the colonies, an absentee father, and heart-breaking tragedy resting on his shoulders, Jonathan would much rather escape into his record collection and secret radio broadcast than deal with the general bleakness of life in the apocalypse. As he is reluctantly roped into Evie's search for links to her past, Jonathan begins to wonder if he can ever truly escape his. Together, the unlikely pair must navigate the treacherous landscapes of both the unforgiving world around them and the complicated emotions within. Will their connection withstand the trials of a world consumed by darkness, or will it become just another casualty of the apocalypse? **Featured on Wattpad @ScienceFiction "Ambassadors' Picks," July 2024; "18 SciFi Romance Stories We're Obsessed With," November 2024; #4 Dystopian
