Sweetwater - sweet only in name...

Karen's not exactly a hopeless romantic. Having gone through college on the back of an exotic dancer career, she's far and well lost her hope in male decency. Even when she thought she found a man worth his salt, he turned out to be nothing but a stalker creep. So when SassyDate, a dating app, throws her together with a sexy werebear from Wyoming, Karen's naturally skeptical. But what's life worth if a woman isn't willing to take a risk now and then with her heart, right?

And if said risk takes her away from her problematic ex, all the better.

Evan Grimpaw is a big believer in what comes around, goes around. As an underground MMA fighter, that usually means someone's fist flying towards his face. As one of the Alpha brothers of the local werebear clan, Evan's seen his share of trouble, but nothing like the kind that walks in right along with the woman of his dreams. One look at Karen tells him he must have her and for once, Evan has something worth fighting for other than his own pride.

With a wolf-bear war waging in the little town of Sweetwater, Karen must find a way to not only escape her fate so far, but change the one in store for her and Evan. Is he worth the trouble, or is it just too much to handle?

Book #1 in the Purge of Babylon series.
It all starts here.
________________________________________
ONE NIGHT. THAT WAS ALL IT TOOK.

Creatures that once lived in the shadows, hidden from humankind, have risen, spreading like a plague across the globe over the course of a single night. Their numbers growing exponentially through infection, these seemingly unkillable creatures have swallowed up whole cities and collapsed unprepared governments.

Survivors call it The Purge.

Against all odds, a disparate group of survivors has emerged from that blood-soaked night that devastated the planet and reduced humanity to an endangered species. Among the survivors are two ex-Army Rangers, a businesswoman, and a third-year medical student. But surviving The Purge was one thing - staying alive is another matter entirely.

Hope exists in the countryside, in the form of a self-sustaining underground facility designed to withstand any calamity. But in order to reach its safety, the survivors must travel hundreds of treacherous miles, with the night - and the creatures that dwell within it - always at their backs.

The rules are simple: stay out of the dark, load up on silver bullets, and whatever you do, stay alive.

The road to salvation has begun ...

A land ravaged by ice. A deadly enemy awoken. A young man who faces a terrible choice.

Bramwell Thornley, an engineer from the city of Ral Tora, believed that science could solve everything. That is, until the deadly Everwinter plunged the world into chaos. He thought the solution might lie in the city of Chellin but all he found there were lies and treachery.

Now he and his companions must travel to the northern city of Variss. Maybe there they will find a way to halt the Everwinter. Maybe there Bram will discover the truth of who he really is.

Bram must make a decision. Will he embrace his destiny? Will he become the very thing he fears?

His choice will decide everything. The fate of his friends. His homeland.

And the world itself...
