The Hope We Keep

“Engrossing from the first sentence, this survival thriller never slows down. Perfect for fans of anything apocalyptic.” -Tara Ellis, author of First Impact and Flashpoint

In a world with no power, no law, and no mercy, no one is safe.
Months after a catastrophic solar flare destroys the power grid, the residents of Michigan’s remote Upper Peninsula grow more desperate by the day. Neighbors turn on each other, vying for the last scraps of food.

At a crumbling lighthouse on the edge of Lake Superior, Lena and Shiloh Easton have carved out a fragile refuge. But when a group of escaped convicts breaks in and steals Lena’s insulin, any sense of safety disappears. With her dog Bear at her side, Lena sets out to track them down. Because if she runs out, she dies.

Sheriff Jackson Cross has sacrificed nearly everything to keep his people safe. Now another threat looms: Sykes—a violent fugitive with nothing to lose—and his fellow convicts are loose in the woods, and the bodies are piling up. Out for vengeance, Sykes will kill anyone who gets in his way.

Eli Pope has found a second chance—at life, maybe even love. With everything to lose, he’s fought hard to become a better man. But with Sykes and his men circling like wolves, Eli has one mission: protect Shiloh and Lena. No matter what it costs. Even if it means becoming the man he swore he’d never be again.

Shiloh is still healing from everything she’s lost. When a frightened, wounded child stumbles into her life, Shiloh must decide: do whatever it takes to survive—or fight for something bigger than herself. Every choice carries a cost. And not everyone will survive what’s coming.
