Rachel walked in with Christian and Trevor behind her. “What’s going on?”
“I just made contact with other survivors.”
“Oh my God!” Rachel gasped.
Adam continued to speak to the woman, gathering information. Josie ran in too, with Phoebe behind her. Everyone chatted excitedly in the background. Finally, he signed off when it had been established that the two groups would make first contact three days later on neutral ground in Casa de Fruita, a rest stop halfway between their farm and the Central Coast.
He leaned back in his chair. “So how should we do this?” he asked the group.
“I volunteer to go meet them,” Trevor offered immediately.
Adam nodded in affirmation. It was a good idea.
“That’s good because, I can’t go.” Christian sighed. “Someone has to stay behind to take care of the animals.”
“None of our women or Josie are leaving this farm, and I’m staying right here to protect them,” Adam said. “So, yeah, I agree it would be a good idea for you to go. I’ll ask Sebastian—” he looked at Trevor, “—see if he can go with you.”
“He doesn’t need to come. I can go by myself,” Trevor said.
“Trevor, you can’t go alone,” Rachel said in an anxious voice. “What if your car breaks down? What if they only seem nice over the radio but are actually evil? What if you’re stuck outside by yourself in the middle of the radioactive fallout we’re expecting to happen any time now? Anything could happen to you, anything, and you’ll be alone with no one to help you.”
Trevor’s lips thinned. “I’ll take that chance,” he told her.
Adam studied Trevor. Trevor met his gaze and gave him a barely perceptible nod.
“It’s the woman, isn’t it?” Christian asked. “She said she was there with a man. You know she might be his woman?
Trevor looked at him and shrugged. “I’ll take that chance too.”
“Trevor—” Rachel started.
Adam squeezed her shoulder. “If this is what he wants, he can take equipment, supplies, weapons. I can set him up, make sure he’s got what he needs.”
Rachel looked at Trevor with tormented eyes. “I’m sorry, Trevor. I’m sorry you feel you have to do this.”
Trevor shook his head. He looked at Rachel and then his gaze locked with Adam’s. “There’s nothing to be sorry about,” he said. “You two are making a new life for yourselves, and I’ll make mine. Don’t worry. I have a future ahead of me. I just need to go out and get it.”

Letting her live was bad enough. Wanting her is much worse.
Love & Monsters, Book 1
Richard Everson has seen too many people die, killed by the nightmare creatures that have overrun the world. Every night he leaves the protection of the walled city to hunt the nasties alone. He likes his job. Maybe a little too much.
By day, Jennifer lives in her human skin. By night, the wolf takes over, a legacy forced upon her by the nasties who made her one of them. Everson is a tenuous link to what’s left of the human world. Despite the danger to them both, she hungers for his touch.
Each encounter sends the heat spiraling higher, until it burns away all control. And Richard realizes too late his heart has crossed a line punishable by death…
Warning: This book contains strong language, nightmarish creatures, a violence-loving hero, a very naked woman, werewolves, forbidden desire, and post-apocalyptic monster-killing mayhem.
In a lonely, plague-devastated world, it is definitely not every man for himself.
Crux Survivors, Book 1
Seventeen years after the Crux Virus wiped out most of the world’s population, Ross is doing what he can to keep his small community safe from raiders in a self-contained artist retreat in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico. He’s made a habit of collecting survivors and they’ve all become family, but the most important members have always been Jenna and Dorian.
At fourteen, Ross stumbled into the basement where the nine-year-olds were hiding and the three have been together ever since. Years later, Jenna and Dorian became lovers. Now, at thirty, Ross hopes to find a love of his own on supply runs, but he suffers incredible guilt because his heart has long been snagged by his two best friends.
Alone with his tangled emotions, Ross is about to discover that his friends have their own ideas about their relationship…and how it is about to change.
Warning: An unfortunate stabbing leads to fortunate liaisons, including M/F/M, M/M, M/F…and whatever else these apocalyptic survivors can do with each other during those long winter months in the snowy mountains.
