Glassback Hearth book cover by Nyra Somata

Featured book

She came looking for shelter. He was supposed to be the thing she feared.

In the radioactive hush after civilization’s collapse, survival has rules: don’t trust strangers, don’t touch the infected, and absolutely do not fall for the gorgeous mutant guarding the warmest hearth in the wasteland.

Too bad desire has terrible survival instincts.
