After the zombie apocalypse, civilization is a thing of the past. Life has become nothing more than survival...

Parker is a young woman with few options. She has grown up inside the walls of a guarded community, never experiencing liberty beyond the small few acres of land within the gates. Even though under the protection of one of the community's soldiers, her security isn't free. She trades her body?the only weapon at her disposal?for Brett's protection. She gives a man she knows nearly nothing about the only thing she has to offer?herself.

After years of hollow nights in Brett's bed and living like a prisoner, Parker wishes for freedom. It's only after a zombie attack that overruns the community that she comprehends the error of her desires. Everyone she's ever cared about is dead, and the only person left is the man she wished to escape.

As Parker and Brett struggle for survival, she realizes his feelings for her may reach beyond the simple living arrangement she'd suspected. He came back for her when the community fell. He risked his life for her and continues to place her safety before his own. If the two of them can endure the upcoming trials, she might discover there are some things still worth living for.
