Falling for a ruthless warlord twice my age is dangerous enough. Finding out he's my ex's father might just get me killed.

Since the nuclear exchange, I've been barely surviving. I have trust issues, a talent for fixing broken machines, and the kind of desperation that makes bad decisions look reasonable.

That is, until I collapse half-dead at the gates of Mayer Compound and one of the most dangerous men in the territory decides to keep me. Martin Mayer gives me work on the water systems and quarters near his own. Which means I answer to him. Obey him. And when he orders me to his bed, I go willingly.

Because every time I prove myself useful, every moment I'm good for him, he rewards me with the one thing I'm starving for: his approval.

The whole arrangement should feel wrong. Scandalous. Completely inappropriate, considering he's old enough to be my father and dangerous enough that grown men fear him. But when his voice drops to gravel and he calls me a good girl, I want more. When he looks at me like I belong to him, I forget why I should resist.

But his compound is full of people who'll tear me apart if they think I'm a threat to their survival. And Martin's claim on me only makes things worse. His control is absolute, his authority unquestioned, and he's made it devastatingly clear where I belong: on my knees for him, beneath him, wrapped around him.

Oh, and there's one more tiny problem.

His son is my ex-boyfriend. The one who left me to die in the wasteland.

And Edward's jealousy might just burn this whole compound to the ground.

A Dark Post-Apocalyptic Romance. Age gap. Praise kink. Morally gray warlord. And enough raw, possessive dominance to make you beg for more.
