Can love survive an apocalypse? After a deadly virus ravages Chicago and destroys Mackenzie Lyons' carefully curated world, Mac escapes the devastation and horror to her childhood hometown with the help of her best-friend's little brother, Jake. But the small-minded community of Sanford isn't exactly welcoming, and the virus isn't the only battle brewing. Jake Brent has secretly loved Mac forever, and while this isn't the way he'd dreamed of their relationship beginning, with the uncertainty of the outbreak he'll take every opportunity with Mac he can and hope--pray--for a better future. But when Sanford's misogynistic council torment the survivors with horrifying demands and a lawless motorcycle gang threatens their fragile sanctuary, somehow Jake and Mackenzie must form new alliances and face down dangerous enemies in a struggle far worse than the outbreak. Surviving the virus was one thing, surviving humanity after is another. Author's note: After Today is the first book in The After series of post-apocalyptic romance novels.

One fantastic book! After Today had my heart racing, and I couldn't put this book down till the last page. Can't wait for more of this series!" - HM Hodgson "I was hooked from the opening sentence. Jacqueline Hayley has created a world that descends into chaos and anarchy almost immediately. Book 1 introduces us to Mac and tells the tale through her eyes. Jake is the man who's loved her since he was a boy, and his point of view come from an entirely different angle. As they wake each day to a new horror, the author captures this perfectly on the page, leaving the reader wondering how anyone will survive. But survive they must. This book sets the stage for an epic series that tests the loyalty and mettle of every character. The story stayed with me long after I read the last page. Cannot wait for Book 2." - Tanya Nellestein
