'This dark, post-apocalyptic tale is a testament to the power of hope and love against all odds' Romantic Times

It's a dangerous race for survival in the aftermath of a deadly bacteria spreading across the globe.

One man protects the weak and leads the strong and every hope rests on him...

With nothing but rumors to lead her, Lynne Harmony has trekked across a nightmare landscape to find one man - a mysterious, damaged legend who protects the weak and leads the strong. He's more than muscle and firepower - and in post-plague L.A., he's her only hope. As the one woman who could cure the disease, Lynne is the single most volatile - and vulnerable - creature in this new and ruthless world. But face to face with Jax Mercury, danger has never looked quite so delicious...
