Miles thought he'd buried the past along with the old world. Four years ago, when the zombies came, his marriage was already crumbling—bitter arguments, sleepless nights, and words that cut deeper than any blade.

The divorce papers were signed just months before civilization fell. Now, four years of surviving the apocalypse have taught him harsh lessons: don't trust strangers, protect your people at any cost, and never look back. He's built a camp, found new love, and seemingly left those painful memories far behind.

But the past has a way of returning at the worst possible moment. When a familiar figure emerges from the woods and speaks a name he swore to forget, his carefully constructed world begins to fracture.

Miles has spent years learning to breathe without her. Now he'll have to remember how to survive her presence all over again.
