Zombies- as if that wasn’t enough to ruin any girl’s dream of a happily ever after. Tyler Allen has been heartbroken more times than she can count. Her family is full of psychopaths, the love of her life was gunned down in front of her and she’s just rescued her little brother after her father kidnapped and tortured him. Tyler doesn’t think she can handle any more grief. But how can she stop the pain when she feels as though she’s the reason for it. She’s the reason everything she touches or loves dies. The only thing she can think of is to not fall in love again, not with anything. She’s built a wall around her heart and forced herself to remain detached from everything and everyone. All she wants to do is safeguard herself from more misery. But she also wants to protect everyone else from her. If only they would listen. The Parkers have forced themselves into her life and she couldn’t help but come to care for them, especially Page. Reagan and Haley have also become friends she respects and loves. But Vaughan Parker is the worst of them all. He doesn’t want friendship from Tyler. He wants something more. And he’s not going to let her get away with ignoring all the possibilities that could be between them. Tyler knows she’s doing the right thing by keeping her distance from him. Until that protective barrier is shattered and he is able to show her exactly what’s she’s missing. He will not only ask more of her than she’s ready to give, but he’ll show her a world of possibilities she didn’t know existed.
