Kage — Esther E. Schmidt

The world suffered a drastic change when the power went out on the heels of a viral outbreak twelve years ago. The population was decimated and lives changed in the blink of an eye. Tamar went from a bounty hunter in training to a woman who uses her skill to survive. When she hears of a bounty that may finally give her and her team security, she knows there's no way she's letting this bounty slip through her fingers -- not even when another team gets in her way. Kage and his brothers have their eye on one thing -- revenge for their brother, tortured and murdered. When the man responsible offers up a bounty, Kage knows this is their chance, even if he's forced to work with another team. Falling for a woman like Tamar wasn't in his plans, but there's no turning away from her now. Tamar and Kage must fight together for a future. The choice of being selfish or the ability to see the bigger picture for the sake of the world and its existence might blur lines of friendship and trust. Will they be able to make the right choice, for the world and each other? Or will revenge take a turn for the worse?
