Here's the blurb:
First rule of surviving the Wastelands: don't be caught out after the sun sets...
After her father was killed in a warg attack, Riley Kincaid was forced to stand on her own two feet in the brutal Wastelands she calls home. She knows how to survive, but when a lapse in judgment leaves her out after dark, Riley realizes she's in trouble. The sun has set, the monsters are out to play, and there's a band of reivers heading straight for her settlement. Riley needs to warn her people, but that's before she runs a handsome stranger down in her jeep. A stranger who might not be a man after all...
Kidnapping her was the worst mistake he ever made.
Dangerous outlaw, Lucius Wade, lives only for revenge. But when he kidnaps Riley in order to lure an old friend into a trap, suddenly the tables are turned. Riley has no intentions of being bait, and she tempts him in ways he hasn't felt for a long time. He's never played the hero, but suddenly a part of him wants to.
When dangerous secrets are revealed, and Luc realizes an old enemy is on his trail, he's forced to change his plans. The hunter is suddenly the hunted, and the only allies he has... is a stubborn blonde who thinks there should be more to live for than revenge, and the ex-friend who shoved a knife in his back ten years ago.
Vivienne has spent the last three years living with the knowledge that she killed Blake. But as soon as she decides to let him go, she notices strange occurrences that show he might still be around...
*****
After years of mourning the death of her true love, Vivienne is finally trying to move on - until mysterious phone calls and anonymous gifts start to arrive. After an ill-fated one-night-stand with her sister's former flame, Julian, Vivienne's suspicions start to grow. Despite Julian's insistence that nothing strange is going on, Vivienne begins to wonder if she is mad or if Blake could be alive.
