This unlikely pair just might be the perfect allies—in war and out. But will this city girl's bigger-picture perspective go with this small-town boy's "keep it as it is" attitude?

Wishful Romance

Piper woke disoriented. Was it the baby? She listened with that part of her mother's brain that could assess in an instant whether she needed to get up, while keeping her eyes shut. If it was nothing, she'd slip back into blissful sleep. For at least five more minutes. 


But she didn't hear Parker. She heard...birdsong?


Her eyes flew open to see daylight. Daylight? What time is it?


The bedside clock read 8:14. Dumbfounded, she stared. That couldn't be right. Could it? She hadn't slept this late in months. Not since well before Parker was born. Hearing absolutely nothing in the house, she had a moment of irrational panic. Had everyone suddenly died in the night?


This is what the zombie apocalypse sounds like.


She rolled over. Myles wasn't in bed, but the newspaper was. On his pillow lay a copy of the Sunday edition, neatly folded so that his editorial was front and center. If the zombie apocalypse had hit, he wouldn't have left her reading material.
