Embers, Still

A Male Loves Male Story.

Thirty years after the bombs fell, the bunker doors are finally opening. The world that emerges into is unrecognizable - overgrown, fractured, and ruled by those strong enough to take what they want.

Archer Cole spent nineteen years inside Solace, sheltered from the worst of what the outside world became. He lost his family to a sickness the bunker couldn't stop and steps into the unknown carrying little more than a medical kit and the quiet weight of grief. He isn't prepared for any of it.

Ryker Voss has been out here for three years. He doesn't need a partner, doesn't want the complication, and certainly doesn't need someone like Archer - unprepared, too trusting, and somehow impossible to leave behind. He has coordinates, a destination, and a necklace he won't explain. Getting to The Green is all that matters.

It should have stayed simple.

Crossing a world divided by warlords, a government that never admitted it saw the bombs coming, and a faction that believes salvation is only for the worthy - the last thing either of them expected was each other.

Dead Reckoning is a post-apocalyptic romance about two men learning that survival is easier than letting someone matter. Sometimes the most dangerous thing you can find in the wreckage is a reason to keep going.
