He's trapped in the pages of a book. Now, to save himself and the woman he loves, he must find a way to change the story from inside it.

Mid-list author Alex Baker has created a heroine his readers root for, look up to, and believe in. And now he must kill her. He wants a poetic, bittersweet ending, but more importantly, a final one. No more sequels. Time to focus on something real and important (like dealing with his divorce). But before he can finish the final installment of The Useless series, a car accident somehow transports him to the world of his novels. Wasteland. A chain of islands filled with garbage and criminals.

Mabie Nightlady doesn't know she's a character in a book, or that people are reading her "story." Once the wife of second most powerful man in Wasteland, now she leads the Useless—a group of outcasts fighting against discrimination, slavery, and even execution. To her, it is not a story. It is her life, and after the recent death of the man she loves, it has lost all meaning. Still, she will finish what she started and lead the Useless to freedom...or die trying.

When Alex appears in the Useless hideout without any explanation of where he came from, Mabie greets him with suspicion, but takes him in. Suspicion transitions to forced alliance, then attraction, and the two begin a passionate affair. Alex falls in love, but fears that to Mabie he is only a stand-in for the man she lost...the man Alex killed off in the previous book.

Meanwhile, on the outside, a ghostwriter is finishing the novel, and Alex's notes leave no doubt to how it is supposed to end. Mabie will die. Unless Alex can change the story from inside its pages.

If you like sexy, action-packed love stories and immersive world building, you'll love The Creator series!
