Elite
Elsa Harper has two problems.
The first is blood.
The second is Christian Loren.
As a brilliant medical researcher, Elsa can spend hours studying deadly viruses without blinking. But put a tray of blood in front of her, and the woman who can solve impossible medical mysteries becomes a trembling disaster.
Christian Loren, on the other hand, has no fear of blood.
As a newly promoted Army General, he has spent years facing death without hesitation. Dangerously calm, Christian has no time for a doctor who nearly faints at the sight of a syringe.
Until the world falls apart.
When monstrous creatures suddenly invade the capital and a mysterious virus begins spreading across the country, the military is ordered to protect the scientists searching for a cure.
Christian is assigned to lead Elsa's team into the infected territories.
Neither of them expects to fall for the other.
But somewhere between escaping monsters, sharing stolen moments in abandoned buildings, and fighting to survive another night, Christian begins to see the woman beneath Elsa's fear.
And Elsa discovers that behind the General's cold exterior is a man who would risk everything to keep her alive.
His arms become her safest place.
Her smile becomes the one thing he cannot afford to lose.
But the closer Elsa gets to uncovering the truth about the virus, the more terrifying the truth becomes.
The monsters aren't attacking by chance.
The virus isn't spreading naturally.
And Christian may have been sent to protect Elsa for a reason that neither of them knows.
As civilization crumbles around them and death closes in from every direction, Elsa and Christian are forced to choose between the mission that could save humanity... and the love that could destroy them both.
When the world ends, will they still choose each other?
