    Summary

    "You shouldn’t trust him. Not with your life. Not with your blood. And definitely not with your heart."

     

    The world ended quietly—devoured by blood-born creatures birthed in military labs and left to rot in the dark. Now, only ruins remain. And the monsters inside them are always hungry.

    You’re a medic. A survivor. You know better than to need anyone.

    But then there’s him—the masked soldier who follows you through the ruins like a shadow. Silent. Massive. Always watching. You don't know what he is… only that when you're near him, the air feels thinner, your heartbeat louder.

    He craves you.

    Your scent. Your skin. Your blood.

    And maybe, worst of all, your attention.

    Or, A slow-burn, blood-soaked apocalypse romance. Featuring feral tenderness, mutual obsession, intense body horror, and a man who would rather die than hurt you—but might do both anyway.

    Summary

    A bright, kindhearted detective joins the force after the forceful retirement of her father. Charlie Starr's probably achieved the highlight of her career in catching the cannibalistic serial killer that's been tormenting Pentagram City, Alastor Melancon, but that's not really where her heart lies. Her passion is to help people, not punish criminals. Her heart is the only thing keeping her from falling into the jadedness the rest of the force has.

    Up until Alastor escapes prison to continue his reign of terror once more--and for better or worse, that big-hearted detective so deadset on catching up to him has caught his eye. He's not sure if this is a romance, or a long-running game of cat and mouse--but either way, it's the most fun he's had in years, and he refuses to let it come to an end.
