MyStranger

Eleven days without a client. Rent due. A daughter who has outgrown every pair of shoes she owns. Then a stranger walks into Kelly Oswalt’s real estate office in Plainsboro, Alabama, wearing a denim jacket in hundred-degree heat. He carries a check for half a billion dollars and wants a hundred acres of land, right now.

He doesn’t use contractions. He doesn’t sweat. And he knows the weather before it happens.

Seven weeks later the sky goes dark from Europe to California. The storm that follows flattens the town, kills Kelly’s parents, and leaves the water carrying something that turns ordinary people into predators. Kelly and her six-year-old, Maddy, survive behind his gate, in a farmhouse that never loses power, run by a computer that calls him Commander.

Kelly keeps a list of the things that don’t add up. The list gets long. The man she is falling for has a cure that might save the town or kill it, a power supply that is running out, and a locked door in the basement.

And she’s about to find out exactly how far she’ll go to protect the people she loves.

My Stranger is the first book of a series. It mixes a slow-burn romance, the end of the world, and one secret a hundred thousand years old.
