Romeo Lane

Ethan Katz thought working for Reginald Hargreeves would be the strangest part of his life. Quiet, observant, and far too smart for his own good, Ethan spends his days carrying out Reginald's cryptic orders, until one day he crosses paths with Five Hargreeves.

Five is sharp-tongued, exhausted, and dangerously good at pretending he doesn't care. Ethan sees through him almost immediately.

What starts as a reluctant hookup turns into late-night conversations, stolen moments between apocalypses, and the terrifying realization that maybe, after everything Five has survived, he still has the ability to love someone.

As Reginald's true plans unravel and the universe races toward its final collapse, Ethan and Five are forced to choose between survival and each other. And when the end finally comes, they'll learn that love may not be enough to save the world, but it might be enough to change the way it ends.
