Kara has spent the last six years fighting the infected in the ruins of a broken world, searching for the one person who ever truly understood her. Wade was her only friend growing up in the foster system, the one steady thing in a life built on instability. When the world collapsed, she thought she’d lost him for good until the enemy dumped him at her doorstep, barely conscious and scarred from years in captivity.

Helping him heal would be a challenge even if she weren’t still in love with him.

Wade is near feral after years of isolation. His memories are fractured, the days before his abduction reduced to shadows and ghosts. But the woman standing in front of him now isn’t a ghost. Kara is real, and even in his broken mind, she’s always been the center of it. In the quiet moments between survival and recovery, long-buried feelings rise to the surface.

Kara and Wade must decide if they should risk everything for revenge against the man who destroyed Wade’s life, or leave it all behind and chase the hope of a new beginning out west.
