The world he knows and loves is gone…

Lincoln Atwood survived the contagion that wiped out the nine tenths of humanity. As the last survivor in a secret government bunker and a Delta Force soldier, he knows that the other survivors are scared, angry and dangerous, just like him. After weeks alone with the mummified bodies of his colleagues, he escapes the bunker. But the world outside has changed. Among the empty cities and crumbling ruins of civilization, he loses himself to the wilderness in his soul.  When he sees Caroline, a fellow survivor,  she is vision of light in a world gone dark. He wants to help her, but she won't trust him, when there's danger around every corner. How can he convince her that fate has brought them together?

She will not go quietly into the night…

When it’s clear she can’t escape him, she finds herself becoming fascinated with the brooding, intense man who knows how to survive. He makes her heart race and blood pound. When tragedy strikes, Caroline realizes she might have a plan to save the world, but she’ll need Lincoln’s help. Can she trust Lincoln not only with humanity’s future, but also her heart?


A Wilderness Within

They drove for three hours before Ellie's cries made it clear she needed a change, and Kirby took to whining as well. Lincoln found a shopping center not far off the highway, and they piled out. Kirby ran to the nearest bushes, and Caroline took Ellie into the burger joint they'd parked next to. She used a lantern to illuminate the dark women's bathroom as she changed the baby's diaper.


Ellie kicked her chubby legs and squawked loudly for such a tiny creature. Caroline laughed and tickled her tiny feet, playing peek-a-boo with her. Then she fixed her onesie and tucked her back in the portable car seat and opened the door to leave the restroom. 


She froze as she stared down the barrel of a gun.
