Ashes Between Us

When the world collapses overnight, Reina Oakley is forced to trade her ordinary life for one ruled by fire, fear, and the dead. Alone and hunted, she survives by chance-until she meets Maverick Hunter, a guarded survivor whose past is as dangerous as the apocalypse itself. Bound by necessity and haunted by loss, they cross ruined cities and fragile safe havens where the living often prove more ruthless than the undead. As years pass and innocence burns away, their connection deepens into a love neither of them feels allowed to want in a world where hope is a liability. Separated, reunited, and forever changed, Reina and Maverick must decide whether love is worth risking everything when survival demands so much.

In a world reduced to ashes, how far would you go to protect the one thing that still makes you feel alive?
