All it takes is one monster for the world to go to ruins.
Life as Nadine knows it goes to shit and she has to accustom herself to life underground, that is until an accident forces her out into the real world.

Caine has no idea why he saved Nadine.
She is everything he hates- rich, spoiled and entitled- and yet, he couldn't just let her die.
Living outside is hard enough without having to save someone else and yet, he does it with Nadine.

Thrust into a world that she has no idea how to navigate, Nadine is forced to rely on Caine.
Her life is literally in his hands.
They soon realize that maybe the monsters are the least of their worries.

Love Among The Ruins

I waited until Rowan returned before leaving Dan alone.

I wanted to spend every possible moment with him but there was something more important- or someone.

Jennifer was in the room, sitting cross-legged in front of the bed where Dan lay before. She didn't speak to me, but she was aware of my presence. I should have left her alone, it was clear she didn't want the company but I forced myself to take a step forward.

"Get out." She hissed but I ignored her, stepping closer to her. As I got closer, I realized there were tear streaks on her face. I opened my mouth to speak but I saw something flying in my direction.

It was a blood stained cloth. I managed to catch it just before it hit my face.

"I said get out!" she turned to me, fire in her eyes. "I don't want you here."

"It is a good thing that I don't care about what you want," I shrugged as I sat next to her. "Are you going to stay here all day?"
