After a killer outbreak, a doctor searches for the one man who can help her find a cure in the New York Times bestselling author's romantic adventure.
The deadly Scorpius Syndrome has decimated North America. Now the few remaining survivors struggle to avoid infection and rebuild society. Dr. Lynne Harmony believes she can find a cure—but she knows she can't do it alone. With nothing but rumors to lead her, Dr. Lynne Harmony has trekked across a nightmare landscape to find one man—a mysterious, damaged legend who protects the weak and leads the strong.

Former military man Jax Mercury is more than muscle and firepower—and in post-plague L.A., he's Lynne's only hope. But with powerful forces searching for Lynne, and some in Jax's camp desperate enough to betray him, they'll have to keep close if they want to survive.

      In this heavy-handed introduction to a sexy, postapocalyptic romance series from Zanetti (the Realm Enforcer series), a disease called Scorpius has ravaged the U.S., killing many and leaving others insane. Lynne Harmony, former head of the CDC’s Infectious Disease section, thinks she can find a cure for Scorpius, but someone is hunting her. She shows up at Jax Mercury’s Los Angeles–area compound and asks him to kill the stalker. What neither Jax nor Lynne counts on is an instant, raging attraction that can’t be ignored. The story of a violent alpha male falling for an independent woman (and occasionally abusing her to demonstrate his dominance) in a dire situation is a romance genre classic, but it’s tossed willy-nilly into the postapocalyptic setting, and both the romance and the SF come out muddled. Agent: Caitlin Blasdell, Liza Dawson Associates.
