"Iris Clayton, a vulnerable survivor has only one mission in her life—it's to survive. While scavenging for food, she stumbles upon the group protected by the mysterious, badass, and strikingly handsome Colt Snow. In the world that barely surviving after the spread of an unknown deadly virus, Colt doesn't give a damn about her, but there's something in the way he looks at her that tells the exact opposite.

Colt Snow nearly broke after failing to protect his brother. When a fragile woman asks for a place to stay, he can't help but question her motive, and the last thing he should be doing is to get distracted by those unique blue eyes, but every time he looks at her, he knows only one thing—to take the risk and protect her from whoever is hunting her.
When the world fell apart, I thought my life crumbled down beneath it, until I stumbled upon a group protected by a tough and mysterious man named Colt. He threatened me twice, but there was something in his gaze that promised me protectiveness and comfort. And I was wrong to think that there was no humanity left in this world anymore. But how far he would go to protect me when all I did was to bring risk to the group?"

Blue Iris

I PARKED the car at the top of the hill—a park and a perfect place for a short hike for couples. Right now the beautiful scenic landscape decayed and abandoned. The twinkling city lights that supposed to be breathtaking were gone and nothing but a gray and dusty dead city from the top.


The chains of the tree swing set creaked and sounded like in a horror movie, but we were not here to be horrified. This would be the last view we wanted to see—the sunset—to watch the sun as it disappeared from the horizon.


"Wanna go out?" I asked Colt, who was blankly and silently staring through the windshield. "You haven't said a word since we left. Blame me, please? We still have a gun. You can shoot me—" And that, he made a snap at me.


"I don't want you to die with me." He gulped, eyes filled with regret and grief. I knew he was frightened, just like I was.


"Well, I don't want you to die either," I made a point.
