"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 HAD never been terrified in my entire life knowing that I was going to die—of what to come after death. Was there really an afterlife? Like Heaven or hell?


I believed in God, but I was not a religious person. I remembered God during the happiest and toughest moments, but that was all.


Before I bled out, I begged for forgiveness. I begged Him to give me another chance. I even begged Him to give me a little time to tell everyone how much they meant to me. Then, I did not get the answer. I watched myself bled and felt the blood oozing out of my system—that was the scariest thing I'd ever experienced.


Then I woke up in the arms of the woman I loved. Iris cried again, and I couldn't stop her regardless of how I cooed her. I knew she blamed herself for what happened to me, yet I, myself couldn't blame her for that, and I was even guilty for letting her go through that pain again.
