Once settled, she hopes to find employment in an illuminator’s shop— until Triston unexpectedly snatches her heart away with a kiss.

If she does, will the world still love her face? Will the man of her dreams who fell in love with her, still love her when her beauty melts away? And finally, what is more important, to want other to love you, or to love yourself?

"Now strip and get your arse on the desk," Luce instructed.
Mel stared at him. He couldn't be serious, could he?
"Every other girl in this building knows how to do as she's told. Do you know how many girls I've had on this desk? You should consider yourself lucky. The last one I had in here was so quick getting undressed that I managed to give her a full fifteen minutes of my time. At this rate, you'll be lucky to have five."
Mel became transfixed by the timber desktop. "Did you wipe it clean afterwards?"
"What?" Luce's face reddened.

The world is ending. Who will save Grandma?

What would you do if a mysterious plague began to devour your city and the dead started banging on your door?

Fifteen-year-old Liam Peters is spending the summer with his great-grandmother (not by choice) when the authorities of St. Louis spin up the tornado sirens to announce a civic emergency. Police robocalls declare mass disturbances throughout the city, suggesting citizens try to escape to safer jurisdictions. Radio offers contradictory instructions: stay inside, hunker down, ride it out. The President tries to convey a message of hope to calm a scared populace, but the tone is interpreted as a goodbye. The mixed messaging sends society--already on the verge of panic--into a tailspin. When the President signs off, half the city boards their windows while the other half dashes for the interstate.

Now Liam is faced with his first dilemma of an increasingly complicated morning. Should he stay with Grandma and attempt to defend her urban home against both the living and the dead, or should he try to get her out of the city to his parents' home in the suburbs? Nothing is ever as simple as it sounds when life and death are on the line.

As an avid reader of zombie books, Liam realizes you go into the zombie apocalypse with the army you have, not the one you want. He sees himself as an unlikely savior, with an unlikely ally, but he embarks on the hero's journey nonetheless. As the city implodes, they race against the clock to outpace desperate refugees, gang violence, criminal opportunists, overzealous military units, scared civilians, and a growing horde of bloodthirsty zombies. He does it while burdened with a woman unable to walk more than ten feet without his help.

As they chase the elusive vision of safety, Liam comes to appreciate why there are no atheists in foxholes.

Fiona

My first semester of college didn’t really go as planned. After weeks of toying with the idea, I finally worked up the nerve to drop out. Just in time to tell my mom for Christmas.

But when I got home for winter break, my problems were temporarily forgotten when I realized there were two men living with my mom. Two men I knew far too well.

My ex-best friend Jonathan and his father, who had apparently gotten engaged to my mom while I was away at school.

Meaning the guy I swore I would never to speak to again was about to become my stepbrother.

Which is where the shackles come in handy.

Because unless she can convince me to let her go, we’re going to be bound together by twenty pounds of solid steel for the next three days.
