It’s been 25 years since the world ended. A disease wiped out 90% of the world’s male population, while nuclear fall out destroyed the planet causing extreme environmental changes. As governments collapsed, a new one took its place in what used to be the United States. The world was never the same. Stian Caldeon was eight when the Collapse happened. He’s spent the last 25 years living in the Outskirts just trying to survive and avoiding being caught by the government and ending up in a breeding camp. Stian has dedicated every waking moment of the last ten years since his brother’s disappearance in trying to find him. And finally, he has a lead and some hope of finding his brother and making up for the biggest failure of his life. But things are never easy, and a complication in the form of a beautiful young man has Stian questioning his plans and making him lose focus. Stian has been alone for so long he can’t understand his strong feelings for this man and his overwhelming desire to protect him. ****************** Whiskey escaped from the Brothels with literally nothing. If it were not for the kindness of the gruff, but handsome man, he would have died naked and alone. But it would’ve been worth it just to die a free man. Now Whiskey must navigate a strange new world with dangers he’s never seen before, not to mention his feelings for his surly protector who’s determined to keep him at a distance. But Whiskey knows his feelings are real. Now he just has to convince Stian of that, and that he’s not a weak link holding him back, but instead, he’s exactly what Stian needs to find his brother. Warning: This is a post-apocalyptic novel that takes place in a violent and totalitarian government and culture. There are references to sexual assault, non-con, sexual slavery, and forced prostitution, but the relationship between the two main characters is completely consensual. This is book one in a series. The book will end with an HEA for the main couple, but the plot continues through each of the books.
