Kiss of Contagion

by A R Lines

About the book

My name is Kalli Ashwin. I'm thirty-years old and I've spent my life being careful, safe, and avoiding risks. When the world unravels one infected human at a time, I think all the time spent alone hasn’t done me any favors. Now cities are littered with bodies, all the governments have gone silent, and the world's population is devolving into creatures that operate solely on instinct and hunger. I thought I could survive it the same way I do everything else—on my own. Until the contagion takes me down, and black lines bloom beneath my skin. As my body changes and unfamiliar urges rise, I lose my closest friend and realize I can’t stay hidden anymore. I need supplies, and I need answers. When I venture out, I’m immediately hunted by a group of angry Changed and saved by a sweet grocery clerk. Probably one of the last people around who hasn’t been infected. But we’re not safe. No one is. The moment we leave the safety of the Happy Grocer, all hell breaks loose, and it might really be the end of both of us. Until a towering Changed man saves us, looks me in the eye and declares, ‘Mine’. Trapped between who I was and what I’m becoming, I have to come to terms with the fact that the world will never be the same, and neither will I. NOTE-This romance contains darker content. This is for adults 18+ as there are explicit scenes. Please take a read through the CW/TW's inside the cover!
