Before the infection and fall of civilization, Marius Blackbird worked as a scientist for the government, specializing in virology. But now, after the end of the world, he was just a man trying to survive.
Maya Pointe lost everything and everyone after the virus took over, and now years later, the isolation was slowly consuming her. But venturing off the property she claimed as her new home could get her killed-or worse, infected.
But then she saw someone who needed help, an injured man who could be friend or foe. The humanity in her wanted to help the only person she’d seen in far too long, but strangers weren’t to be trusted.
She was an angel. His.
Marius instantly wanted Maya, and he knew gaining her trust would be next to impossible these days. And rightly so. But as they grew to know each other, the attraction and trust between them built. He wanted Maya as his and only his, wanted to have her by his side as they rebuilt their lives in a destroyed world.
But could they come to grips with the reality that nothing would ever be the same?And would Marius’s secret destroy the relationship he and Maya built?Reader Note: This story was previously published under the same title.
