She discovered the dark and sexy world of romance novels and since then has never looked back!

As the last survivor in a secret government bunker and a Delta Force soldier, he knows that the other survivors are scared, angry and dangerous, just like him. After weeks alone with the mummified bodies of his colleagues, he escapes the bunker. But the world outside has changed. Among the empty cities and crumbling ruins of civilization, he loses himself to the wilderness in his soul. When he sees Caroline, a fellow survivor, she is vision of light in a world gone dark. He wants to help her, but she won't trust him, when there's danger around every corner. How can he convince her that fate has brought them together? She will not go quietly into the night… Caroline Kelly survived hell when she escaped quarantined Chicago in search of her family after the outbreak. But it's not as easy to travel from Illinois to Missouri with the world gone dark in the space of three months. The last she thing she needs is to get captured by a muscled, bearded mountain man who looks and acts like a damn super soldier. When it’s clear she can’t escape him, she finds herself becoming fascinated with the brooding, intense man who knows how to survive. He makes her heart race and blood pound. When tragedy strikes, Caroline realizes she might have a plan to save the world, but she’ll need Lincoln’s help. Can she trust Lincoln not only with humanity’s future, but also her heart?

Chapter 24

@CDC: We are actively working on a vaccine but urge people to stay in their homes and avoid contact with others as much as possible. Hydra-1 is passed by transmission through touch, fluids, and air. Self-quarantine is the best way to preserve your life and the lives of others. If you believe you are ill, contact our hotline, and we will arrange for transport to one of the nine hundred triage locations that are being established throughout the United States. It is crucial to report if you are ill. Hiding your condition only puts your life and the lives of others at risk.

Lincoln knelt beside the man who lay slowly dying.

"Rick?" he asked, and the man nodded weakly. "I'm Lincoln Atwood."

"I'd shake your hand, but." Rick gave a raspy chuckle. Lincoln grasped Rick's hand, ignoring the possibility that the man was infectious. If Lincoln hadn't died by now, he wasn't going to, at least not until the virus mutated.

"You military?" Rick asked as he studied Lincoln.
