Synopsis
He might be a wolf in disguise.
Ever since the world fell apart a year ago, I've been doing whatever I can to survive, serving food at a trading post in the flooded hills of central Virginia and sometimes taking men to my room upstairs.
They have to pay, of course.
Cade stops by every few weeks. He's gruff and quiet and not looking for friends, but he always treats me okay. I don't mind having him as a customer. I actually start to like him, which is the last thing I expect in the hellish place the world has become. But Cade isn't the harmless loner he's been pretending to be, and his secrets could drag me into danger.
I thought he was just a regular guy, but all this time he's been hiding a wolf.

Meet the Author
Claire has been writing romance novels since she was twelve years old. After teaching English at the university level for several years, she started writing full-time under two different pen names. She lives in Virginia.
Her early books are sexy contemporary romances filled with heat and real emotion, but with the Hold series she transitioned to science fiction romance. Her current books are steamy post-apocalyptic romance set in the near future after a global catastrophe. They feature smart, resilient women trying to survive in a new chaotic world and falling in love with strong, gruff, taciturn men.
Claire also writes softer contemporary romances as Noelle Adams.

Will add more to my review in the morning
Once this beauty arrived in my inbox, I dived right in, I've loved this series from the get go but I have to say this one didn't hit me like the previous books did. Usually in the past I'd read these novels within a matter of hours, that wasn't the case with this one, it took me over a day. I just didn't feel that connection between these two.
-Transactional relationship.
-Dystopian romance.
-Loosely based fairytale retelling.
-Age gap
When the impact hit destroying the world as they knew it, life became unbearably harder for the survivors left in this new world. Twenty seven year old Jill used to be an account in the old world so solely for safety reasons and much needed protection she became a prostitute which entails three clients a week, and a small room to herself. The men pay the establishment's owner Nell who keeps a tight reign over her pub and the girls get paid in rations by the men they service.
Thirty six year old Cade is one of the semi regular men who sits in Jill's area, and observes, never speaking. Until he becomes one of Jill's clients, slowly deepening their transaction into one of fondness.
Also in the area the Militia have full control of the region but there's been some push back from 'The Silver Wolf' who fast became public enemy number one, this mysterious man has been alluding their traps and stealing their cache giving back to those who need it the most.
