Before surviving the Scorpius bacterium, Tace Justice was a good ole Texas cowboy who served his country and loved his mama. After Scorpius, the world became dark, dangerous, and deadly... and so did he. The Vanguard medic is stronger, faster, and smarter than before, but he's lost the line between right and wrong. His passion is absolute, and when he focuses it on one woman, there's no turning back for either of them.

Sami Steel has been fighting to survive right alongside Tace, convincing the Vanguard soldiers she's one of them. In truth, Sami is a former hacker turned government agent who worked at The Bunker, where scientists stored both contaminants and cures. Only she knows the location, and she's not telling. Yet when sexual fire explodes between her and Tace, she'll face even that hell again to save him.

Oh wow. Tace had a lot hiding beneath that good ole boy, Texas ranger vibe he had going on. As a former combat medic he held two jobs—Vanguard soldier and the go-to medical guy. When he catches the Scorpius virus, he barely survives. And the man he once was is slowly disappearing. There's a darkness and coldness within him that was only hinted at before. Either he keeps fighting his way back to who he used to be or he embraces the man he could become.

Sami is a woman with secrets. One of them is the growing attraction she has for Tace. She sees all of his parts and comes to appreciate each of his sides. When they finally come together (because we knew that would happen eventually), it becomes the two of them against the world. For the first time since the virus hit, their loyalties are divided. Protect Vanguard or each other?

There was so much going on in this story, such as Tace's recovery, the developing romance between him and Sami, the force required to go against the POTUS (you have to read to figure this out), and so much more. I'm intrigued by the blossoming alliance with the Mercs and for that, I'll be reading the next book.
