The Road Home - Book One The world is ending. Trust is dangerous. But sometimes, it's all you have. Zach Bernstein never wanted the life he was born into. He hated the wealth, the expectations, and most of all-his distant, powerful father. So when a deadly virus spreads across the world, turning people into mindless monsters, Zach doesn't just lose everything-he finally breaks free. But surviving the apocalypse is harder than he thought, especially when he's alone. Luca had a life full of love. His parents, his little sisters-they meant everything to him. But the outbreak took them away, leaving him to fight for survival in a world that's falling apart. Now, all that matters is trying to find his way back to them. When their paths cross, Zach and Luca are forced to rely on each other. They have nothing in common-except that they're both lost, both scared, and both fighting to stay alive. But the longer they travel together, the more their uneasy partnership turns into something deeper. Something neither of them is ready to admit. The world may be ending, but that doesn't mean their story is over.…
