After being branded "dead weight" and left to die by her previous survivor group in the midst of the zombie apocalypse, Allie Dawson has been living alone in a bunker for over a year. Her only source of external communication is a goddess who sends her prophetic dreams. So when Morrigan sends Allie a dream about rescuing another person-another alive person-from a zombie horde, lonely Allie grabs her rifle and leaves her safe haven. Cameron Hale is grieving and riddled with PTSD, but who isn't these days? Death is literally everywhere, and now it's claimed his ex-girlfriend Laurel. All he wants is to get back to his family and grieve his loss, but that quest gets derailed by a hellish face-to-face encounter with a zombie horde bigger than any he's ever seen. Luckily, an angel in a pickup truck shows up to save him-and she's a hell of a good shot. As they wait in the bunker for the horde to pass overhead, the powerful mutual attraction between these two touch-starved people quickly turns their relationship physical. Even better, they like each other. But between them and the hope of a life together lies a boatload of trauma, a few too many secrets, a goddess with a murky agenda, a predatory survivor group, and an army of uncannily malevolent zombies-and then they discover that Laurel might still be alive.Dead Weight is a high-heat fated-mates fantasy romance set in the zombie apocalypse. It has the vibe of Z Nation as written by Ilona Andrews and perfect for fans of The Walking Dead series and comics.
