S. M. Schmitz

**After a vicious second civil war in the U.S., the states that attempted to secede are occupied, and the people there live by different rules. **

Jon is the highest-ranking officer in an elite Task Force whose purpose is shrouded in mystery. Ava is just trying to survive the occupation after two years of brutal war. After meeting unexpectedly, they discover they are both willing to risk everything for the chance to love one another. But what those risks entail may be far greater than anything either could have imagined.
