Nix never put his name in the marriage raffle for a reason. He doesn’t need a woman. There aren’t that many to go around anyway after a genetically engineered virus wiped out 90% of the female population. He has his job as head of the Security Squadron and it’s all he need. He looks out for the township. He protects the few women there are left. But when his name is called to be one of the five husbands to the woman rescued from the badlands, he doesn’t speak up to correct the error. Because Audrey’s like no one he’s ever met before. Feisty. That’s the name for her. Not like so many of the women they’ve brought back before. She’s not broken. She might be just the woman to handle a rough, brutal man like him. Sharing her with four other men is a small price to pay. In fact, the closer they all grow, the more Nix realizes he might finally have again what he lost so long ago—a real family. But when outside forces threaten everything he holds dear, Nix will be forced to face his deepest, darkest fear. When Audrey’s life is endangered, will he be able to save the woman he’s just learned how to love? Please note that this book contains some dark elements and covers sensitive topics. Any reader that feels they shouldn't venture into this apocalyptic world of sometimes harsh realities should please consider before reading. less

Audrey's husbands take her on a surprise honeymoon vacation and as always, things get hot, hot, HOT. This was meant to just be a short story, but like normal, these characters tend to steal the show when I start writing them. A short story turned into chapters and then became long enough to be termed a novelette (13,500 words, or around 45 pages). Gah, I'd missed these guys! !! Chronologically, this novelette is set in the middle of the events of Book 2 but can be read any time after Book 1... moreAudrey's husbands take her on a surprise honeymoon vacation and as always, things get hot, hot, HOT.
