Sleepwalking let them survive a nightmare. Desire woke them up.

When the world ended, I came to the Stronghold and joined their military. Even made it to the helmet corps with the best and brightest. Life in the barracks is a nonstop party, everyone living like there's no tomorrow. Let's face it, there probably isn't.

When my friends joined a resistance movement against the rich jerks who run this place, we needed a place to meet. The library would be perfect if it wasn't for the librarian being a total snoop. I offered to chat her up for the greater good... and because I can't stop thinking about her. Save the world, get the girl. Win-win.

I arrived in the city weeks before the world ended. I thought I was living a fairy tale, engaged to a prince… but the fantasy was dead even before the dead started to rise.

Officially in mourning for my fiancé, I run the library and try to avoid attention. Yet somehow, I’ve caught the eye of a handsome soldier. He makes me long for freedom, control over my fate. But this elite society considers me an asset; they will never let me go without a fight.

How do I know so much about the Stronghold?

I helped build it.

This is a slow-burn, open-door, dystopian sci-fi romance with dual POVs. Expect a HEA for the main characters and a continuation of the larger story that began with Lust for Tomorrow.

Guest starring Lexy Dalton to perform the "Previously On" recap.
