From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the Netflix original series Sex/Life) comes an immersive romantic suspense trilogy with a dark, dystopian twist.

No getting attached.

Leave before you get left.

Supplies. Shelter. Self-defense.

Survival above all else.

I've lived my life by a strict set of rules-rules that have kept me alive, rules that have kept the nightmares of my past at bay. But the moment I met her, I crossed all of them out with a giant X and scrawled the words Protect Rainbow Williams next to them in murderous block letters. That's all I cared about. Keeping her safe. Keeping her-period.

But Rain doesn't need me to protect her anymore. The danger is still out there-it's everywhere-but she has her little found family now, a roof over her head, food on the table ... him.

And I have nobody to blame but myself.

In my world, rules aren't made to be broken.

They're made to keep you from breaking.

A mistake I won't make again. Because without Rain, there won't be anything left of me to break.
