Sick(ness)
by Isla R Quinn Books
Two survivors. One chance. No guarantees
The sickness took everything, sound, safety, and the illusion that tomorrow was guaranteed.
Addy has spent days surviving alone inside the walls of her apartment, watching the world outside her windows collapse. Food is dwindling. Silence is suffocating. And every day the infected move closer to what’s left of civilization.
Then she hears him.
Sawyer isn’t the savior she imagined, he’s bruised, wary, and determined to trust no one. But survival is colder alone, and together they navigate a ravaged Midwest where danger comes from the living just as often as the dead.
As scarcity sharpens every choice and strangers become threats in the dark, Addy and Sawyer discover something unexpected in the ruins—a connection strong enough to challenge the despair around them.
But in a world built on fear, nothing stays safe for long.
And love might be the one thing they can’t outrun.

The Long Winter
A Post Apocalyptic Love Story
In a world hollowed out by sickness, two survivors learn that the hardest thing to trust is the chance at something real.
Cara O’Keefe has spent her whole life hidden deep in the woods, taught to rely on no one but herself. After the world falls, solitude becomes her armor—until three strangers stumble into her territory and shift the life she’s always known.
Jay Bennett never expected to want anything again. Scarred by loss and the weight of what he couldn’t save, he’s resigned himself to simply surviving. But Cara—fierce, capable, and unexpectedly gentle—awakens a longing he thought he’d buried with the old world.
As winter locks them together in Cara’s remote cabin, the unlikely group forms a fragile new family. And somewhere between shared chores, firelight, and quiet confessions, Jay and Cara find themselves drawn toward a connection neither knows how to navigate.
But survival is never secure.
With danger moving in the frozen woods and winter finally breaking, Jay and Cara must decide if love is worth the risk,
or if trusting each other is the most dangerous choice of all.
