Ash on the Tongue

2025

Humans were always secretly monsters, the rain just gave them an excuse. Aubrey The infected didn’t break me. They didn’t capture me for experiments and use me like an object. Humanity made me into the monster I am. I’m reckless because it makes me feel alive, careless because I’m addicted to pain. And I’m dangerous because I’ve got nothing left to live for. Nothing, until I meet a raider who seems to see right through me… who demands I do the one thing I said I’d never do again. Let him in. Phoenix My mother left me to die on streets flooded with crimson rain. From the time I was born, all I’ve known is betrayal. Now all I know is my pack. We take what we want when we want. We survive and we thrive because we know humans are as bad as the infected, and in this world, you eat or get eaten. When I find a man who seems like he’s got a death wish… I know he’s mine. His reluctance makes me crave him. His defiancé makes me burn like the fire in his eyes. I’ve never wanted anything the way I want him. I need to know if his blood runs as red as the rain. Ash on the Tongue is a Dual POV MM dystopian dark romance, and part of the 1nf3ction multi-author series. It features a man broken by the world around him and a raider who thrives on his chaos. Expect dark situations, high heat, and two men willing to burn down the world to keep what’s theirs.

Rotten

2025

Surviving is all I’ve ever known. Abandoned young, I was left to fend for myself in a place ruled by fear and control. Silver runs everything—rations, medicine, currency—and those like me, carriers of the infection, are treated less than human. Everyone I love is gone. All that’s left is my sister, but she vanished into Zone T years ago, and I won’t stop until I find her. Even if it means stepping onto his boat. An eye for an eye. They call him the Ferryman. A monster with a bird of prey, tasked with bringing criminals across the river. Those who board his vessel never return. But he’s not what I expected. There are secrets behind his quiet stare and a history soaked in blood. His gentle touch draws me in deeper than I meant to go. The closer I get to the truth, the more he unravels parts of me I thought were long dead. The Ferryman wants to claim my soul, but I don't know if I could ever be his. All I am is...rotten.

All Your Days

2025

Eli Built a century ago as a secret research facility in the middle of the Australian Outback, The Facility is the only home I’ve ever known—and I’m grateful for it. We have food, water, and guards to protect us from the infected. We’re lucky, we’re safe and I never plan to step beyond our walls. Until I’m given no choice and I’m sent on a supply run with him—Jacob. The man who saved my life ten years ago now lurks in the shadows, always watching over me. Can his ever-watchful eye, and experience traversing the harsh Australian desert keep us both safe? Or will the Red Rains and the infection in our blood finally claim us? Jacob I try not to think too hard about the future. It’s too easy to get disappointed. I’ve learned too many times not to get attached, and in my ten years here at The Facility, I’ve managed to keep my walls even more secure than the ones around our compound. Except for him—Eli. Too beautiful for a world as ugly as this one, I can’t keep myself from watching over him and keeping him safe from the ever-present danger of our lives. When he’s assigned to my team for a supply run to a neighbouring outpost, I’m faced with my darkest nightmares and deepest fears. And I might just find that there is one thing worse than losing him, and that’s never having him at all. All Your Days is a full-length MM dark dystopian romance as part of the 1nf3ction shared world collab. Each book is a standalone containing themes and situations not intended for readers under the age of 18. Both characters are consenting adults.
