Lyncoln Ryland always saw himself as an ordinary man with an ordinary job, working maintenance in an ordinary mall. The only thing about him that isn’t ordinary are his feelings for the man who’s renovating the mall, but any kind of relationship with such a sophisticated man is highly unlikely.<br><br>Adam James is the wealthy man who owns the mall. He’s secretly been yearning for Lyncoln, a man he doesn’t see as ordinary in the least. But Adam’s family has plans for him, and they don’t include a relationship with a blue-collar worker.<br><br>All this is about to change when the sirens go off, signaling the possible end of the world. When the two men realize this isn’t a drill, they take shelter in the mall that isn’t quite as ordinary as everyone believes. What will the outcome be when two such disparate men must survive the apocalypse together?

“Nah. I had to take a leak.” He’d have stayed longer otherwise, but he wasn’t going to tell Adam that. It wasn’t something such a wealthy, classy man wanted to hear. “Why don’t you go take care of business, and I’ll see about finding us some breakfast.”

“Sure.” Lync was glad Adam had joined him. “Look into this box and see what you can find.”


“Aye aye, captain.” Adam neatly removed the contents of the box, then crowed in triumph. “Eureka!” He held up two MREs. The labels read maple pork sausage patty. “Um…is this okay?”


They went back into the living area and sat down on the mattresses.
