In a world where there’s only one woman for every twelve men, a lottery is the chance for five lucky men to win the prize of a lifetime… her hand in marriage. Nix never put his name in the marriage raffle for a reason. He doesn’t need a woman. There aren’t that many to go around anyway, not after a genetically engineered virus wiped out 90% of the female population. He has his job as head of the Security Squadron and it’s all he needs. He looks out for the township. He protects the few women who are left. But when his name is called to be one of the five husbands to the woman rescued from the badlands, he doesn’t speak up to correct the error. Because Audrey’s like no one he’s ever met before. Fiesty. That’s the name for her. She might be just the woman to handle a rough, brutal man like him. Sharing her with four other men is a small price to pay. In fact, the closer they all grow, the more Nix realizes he might finally have again what he lost so long ago—a real family. But when Audrey’s life is endangered, will Nix be able to save the woman he’s just learned how to love?

Audrey's husbands take her on a surprise honeymoon vacation and as always, things get hot, hot, HOT. This was meant to just be a short story, but like normal, these characters tend to steal the show when I start writing them. A short story turned into chapters and then became long enough to be termed a novelette (13,500 words, or around 45 pages). Gah, I'd missed these guys!!! Chronologically, this novelette is set in the middle of the events of Book 2 but can be read any time after Book 1. Enjoy :)

In the New Republic, every woman must marry five men. It’s the law. Welcome to the apocalypse. Shay came into the township knowing she’d be a lottery bride. So she’d have to marry five men. She wasn’t the naïve girl she’d been eight years ago. She’d learned the lessons that had been beaten into her and she’d learned them well. So yes, so she’d share her body with her new husbands. But her secrets were still her own. The men are different than she expected, though. They each had their own reasons for entering the lottery. There’s Charlie, who’s so sweet and kind. Rafe, who’s a light-hearted jokester during the day but dark and demanding in bed. Then Jonas and Henry and Gabriel, each bringing their own damage and beauty to the clan until, day by day, they begin to feel like a real family. There’s just one little problem with the happy new family clan. One of them isn’t who he appears to be. He is a spy for the enemy. Will Shay and the township be doomed before she and her husbands have a chance at lasting happiness? Please note that this book contains some dark elements and covers sensitive topics. Any reader that feels they shouldn't venture into this apocalyptic world of sometimes harsh realities should please consider before reading.

In the New Republic, every woman must marry five men. It’s the law. Welcome to the apocalypse. Drea doesn’t let anyone close. Ever. She has a mission: save the women she was forced to leave behind at the all-women’s island of Nomansland. When she’s thrown in prison by the President of the New Republic, though, she has no choice but to depend on her nemesis, Eric Wolford, the Commander of Jacob’s Well for help. Eric has his own reasons for wanting to help Drea, ones he’s not even fully ready to admit to himself. But ever since she showed up, bedraggled and furious on his doorstep, Drea Valentine has been a fascinating puzzle he can’t help but want to solve. Nothing’s ever simple in the apocalypse, though, is it? They soon find themselves in DIRE need of help. And what better way to create an unstoppable team than to build a family… or… a clan? Drea never thought in a million years she’d be walking down the aisle to take vows as a clan bride to 5 men. Then again, she swore an oath that she’d do anything if it meant saving her girls. But does exchanging vows and letting them in to her bed mean she has to let them into her heart?

She was always Daddy’s little princess. They’re vicious outlaws. Now she’s theirs, and they’re not going to let her go without a fight. Sophia Wolford’s always looked at the world as if the glass is half full. Even after the Apocalypse. What’s the point of focusing on the negative, after all, when you need to get busy rebuilding the world? Finn Knight sees things differently, however. His motto Trust no one and always suspect the worst. Not surprisingly, Sophia and Finn get along like oil and water. When Sophia sees an opportunity to save not only Jacob’s Well, but the entire country which is on the brink of war, however, Finn is the only person who can help her. Sophia gets a lot more than she bargained for, though, when she heads into the wilds of New Mexico and offers herself as a Raffle Bride. She discovers too late that her new husbands might not have the most honorable intentions. Will she and Finn be able to find a way to save themselves in time, much less the Republic? This book contains some dark elements and covers sensitive topics.

No, baby, that’s not how this is gonna work. You have to give every one of us all of you. Pour it all out. Every single drop of yourself and trust that we’ll fill you back up.” His stare only grew more intense. “We will never leave you. Never forsake you. We are yours until the end of time. And baby, you are ours.” She defies them at every turn.
