First published 2016
Amber Tate thinks her biggest problem is loving Rylen Fite, her brother's best friend who will never return her feelings. She lives quietly in rural Nevada, far from the wars that plague distant countries. Then unknown attackers bomb major cities across America and around the world. The destruction spreads quickly to small towns like hers. Food and water become scarce. Technology fails. Communications break down. The government offers no guidance, leaving citizens trapped between doing nothing and panicking completely. Amber refuses to hide while people suffer. She decides to use her nursing training to help the wounded and sick, even though the work puts her in constant danger. The job forces her to work closely with Rylen, the man she loves but cannot have. As society crumbles around them, Amber must navigate both the external chaos of a collapsing nation and the internal turmoil of her unrequited feelings.
