Romans & Histoires Independent Reverse Harem

She died freezing, alone, and locked out of his bunker. Now she's back with $4,212 and a grudge. Odessa "Dess" Marlowe gave the Hale family six years, sixty thousand dollars and every ounce of trust she had. In return, her boyfriend Garrick locked her out of his private bunker on the first night of the apocalypse and joked that she'd "eat through the supplies in a week." She froze to death on a pharmacy floor while his mother and his mistress laughed behind a steel door. Then Dess wakes up ninety days before the sky tears open. Her savings are gone. Garrick is cheating. His mother is bringing papers to dinner tonight. And a strange pocket of space has appeared in her mind, one that only grows when she earns. But she didn't come back by luck. Something pulled her out of death on purpose, and something on the other side of the sky is already looking for her. This time, Dess won't beg. She'll collect the proof, take back what's hers, stockpile every last can and blanket she can find, and watch the Hales' perfect lives crack in public. But Garrick isn't the only one who knows what's coming, and the men circling her new life are hiding secrets of their own. A quiet ex-soldier who sees too much. A cold billionaire who looks at her like he has already lost her once. A doctor with a joke for every wound. A mafia heir who won't let anyone touch what's his. When the sky finally breaks, the Hales will come knocking. Dess has plenty of food. Just not for them.
