Outcast

Go, Emma. Stay alive and be safe. I'll make sure they don't come after you, but you must never come back.

Emma has grown up in a secluded compound of women that managed to survive the great disaster that destroyed much of the world. Yet, since birth, she has been regarded as a misfit. An outcast.

Forced to live a life of constant supervision, suppressed emotions, and extra punishments, the only bright spot in her existence is the small taste of freedom she gets during the annual camping trips beyond the compound's imposing gates.

Until one day she learns the Mothers will no longer allow an outcast to live among them. Emma runs to save her life, but the odds are stacked against her.

Winter has arrived, and it is harsher than anything Emma had experienced at the isolated compound of women and girls from where she escaped. However, Emma has found a safe place to stay with the Moore brothers.

When all hope seems lost, will the men who find her be her saving grace? Or will the Mothers' cautionary tales of dangerous, violent men prove true?

Little does she know, these men have no intention of letting the young woman who has captured all their hearts slip from their grasp. They intend to prove that Emma can trust and depend on them—always and forever.

When a series of unexpected and seemingly impossible discoveries are made, will Emma be able to trust them? And more importantly, will they be able to trust her?
