From
erotic romance author Jade C. Jamison comes a story about second chances and
learning let go and find oneself again.
Nina
Hardwick has had a rough life since leaving high school, but inside she is still
the girl looking for a silver lining.
The past several years have left their toll on her psyche, and just as
she feels like she’s climbing out of a deep abyss, her life and the lives of
millions of others fall into shambles as a virus overtakes the country and
leaves a plague of undead armies scouring the land.
In
a desperate attempt to get away from the infected, Nina and some neighbors
speed out of town, nearly killing a man on a motorcycle. When they stop to rescue him, Nina realizes
that he is the one man from her past she never got over, the guy who should
have been her high school sweetheart until she messed it up. But this unrequited love, Kevin Savage, says
he doesn’t even remember her. Or does
he?
Nina,
Kevin, and her neighbors head to the wilderness and fight to survive not only
the plague but also hunger, cold, their inner demons…and even each other. Will they survive and, more importantly, will
her heart?
Excerpt
All
those thoughts were in my head, whether buried or at the forefront, as the
tears began to stream down my cheeks. I
hardly registered when Kevin pulled me into his chest and held me tightly as I
sobbed, letting it all go.
Once
my crying jag was over, I marveled at the man holding me. It wasn’t too long ago that he had said he
never knew what to do when someone was crying.
So I swiped at my face and nose with my hand, realizing his coat had
absorbed a lot of the teary evidence, and looked up at him. “You did just fine,” I said.
He
started laughing. “So did you.”
Then
I laughed hard. Between that and the
tears, I was beginning to feel like a whole new woman. “No, I didn’t mean this,” I said, waving my hand toward my back, indicating the fully
dead bodies in the snow behind me. My
voice was softer when I said, “With me crying.
You said you never knew what to do when someone started crying.”
“Oh.” Kevin was a quiet man, speaking less now than
he had when he was younger, but I believed I had rendered him mute.
“What
you did right there was perfect.”
Author Bio
Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in Colorado, moved from one city/town
to the next, and she’s decided she likes it so much she wants to stay…although
travel is not out of the question. She lives in a big town in Colorado
(not unlike the fictional Winchester she writes so much about) with her husband
and four children. She is working on becoming a crazy cat lady.
Okay, so maybe not.Still want more? Jade has a bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Theater, a master’s degree in English, and a master of fine arts in Creative Writing. Obviously, she loves school and the student loan folks love her. She works in human services by day, teaches English and creative writing at night, and—in between playing soccer mom and community leader—writes like a fiend. Someday soon, she’ll narrow it down to just writing, but let’s get all those kids off to college first.
