Wild Silver and Lead: A Dark Military Romance

By Lexie Axelson

In a world undone by a terrifying virus, a fierce female survivor and a cruel military captain fight the living, the dead, and their lethal desire in this genre-shattering dark dystopian romance.

I survived ten years after the Raven virus turned the dead into monsters. Then elite soldier Slade Reece put a bullet through my chest.

I was searching for my family, torn from me in a raid, when the ruthless ex-Delta Force captain found me. He should have left me to die. Instead, he dragged me to his military base, where a lethal, classified armed force guards civilization in the frozen North. Outsiders are forbidden. Execution is the penalty.

Our chance encounter ignited an obsession he can't control. His solution? Marriage--the only way to keep me alive. The deal: my body for his protection, help finding my family for my vows.

I should hate him--I do--but hate turns to fire as he kills anyone who threatens me.

Falling for Slade is blurring everything I know about survival. But now his enemies have discovered my existence--and they're hunting me. I must choose: the family I've lost, or the devil who's claimed me.
