Description

Finding a naked woman on his patrol is the last thing Richard Everson expects. The world has been overrun by nasties, nightmarish creatures who make survival impossible outside the walled city. She must be one of them, a monster in human skin. Yet he can't bring himself to kill her.

Jennifer loses her humanity every night, taking on the werewolf form that was forced upon her. Everson is a precious link to the remains of the human world.

Each dawn, their brief encounters kindles a hunger for more and they grow ever closer despite the danger. Will Everson allow duty to win, or will he risk everything for a sliver of hope in a broken world?

Warning: This book contains strong language, nightmarish creatures, a violence-loving hero, a very naked woman, werewolves, forbidden desire, and post-apocalyptic monster-killing mayhem.
