It's been over a decade since a plague decimated the earth, flattening and destroying society as it used to be. Odessa Lazos is used to her solitary existence. She survives by any means necessary and refuses to feel shame in this new world. Who's left to judge her anyway? When her brother's ex-best friend somehow wedges his way into her life, she's shocked by the maelstrom of emotions he unleashes. Even more surprising, when bad men set their sights on the two of them, she's suddenly ready to keep Banks Bridger safe at all costs. *Content This book is set in a gritty world. It contains death, murder, suicide, and violence. There is also graphic sexuality, including dubcon and somno, and off-page insinuated SA not of a main character.
