After the fall, desire is the only thing that survived. Ten years ago, a virus swept through America and emptied it. Will Stevens buried his wife in the backyard, gathered his guns and his dog, and disappeared into the hills to outlive a world that no longer wanted him. Now he is gray-bearded, weathered, and as alone as a man can be. Then, on an ordinary supply run, he hears the impossible - a child's laughter.
He follows the sound and finds Angela, a friend from the old world, still alive and still beautiful, scratching out a life on a hilltop farm with her ailing husband Kyle and their four daughters. The girls are grown now. Brilliant, capable, teaching themselves the trades a new world will need - electronics, medicine, languages, engineering. They have everything they need to rebuild civilization from the ground up.
Everything except men. What begins as a reunion deepens into something none of them expected. Angela is married. Her daughters are watching. Her husband is fading. And Will, who has not been touched by another human being in ten years, is being drawn into the center of the only family with any future left. In a world stripped of every old rule, loyalty and desire have to be reinvented from scratch.
Kyle understands that. Angela does too. And before another winter passes, so will Will. Future Perfect is a steamy, emotionally intense post-apocalyptic novella about isolation, second chances, and the kind of intimacy only the end of the world makes possible. For mature readers. Contains explicit content and multiple adult partners.
