Strangers in the Empty Playground

She spends weeks crossing cities and states after waking to find every other person gone, convinced she is the last one alive.

When she finally meets another survivor, he is dressed in full tactical gear and has a shotgun aimed at her throat, and he refuses to give his name.

She has little interest in the brooding soldier, just as he intends to keep his distance from the girl he takes for crazy.

Searching the silent land for answers, they learn that enduring each other may be the lesser danger: animals are gone or wrong, and roads end where they should not.

Theirs is a dystopian enemies-to-lovers romance set where no rules remain, and neither can be sure they are truly the last two people on earth.
