Abby is a Ranger, part of an elite group who defend the border against Reapers—humans infected with a parasite that turns them into mindless cannibals. Rangers are immune to Reaper infection, and as one of the only female Rangers, Abby is expected to settle down and breed more Rangers—a fate she’s keen to avoid. When she’s ambushed on the plains, she’s ready to go out with guns blazing—until a mysterious, handsome cowboy rides to her rescue.
Jake has his own motives for helping Abby, beyond aiding a damsel in distress. He’s a Reaper, and while he’s learned to wrest control of his mind from the parasite, the effects won’t last without a permanent cure. And he needs Abby to get it.
Abby and Jake are natural enemies and unlikely partners. But when their search reveals a conspiracy between Reapers and the rich industrialists who own the mountain cities, they must work together to find the cure—or lose the border, and each other, forever.

I'm giving away an e-book Advanced Reader Copy. This one isn't even out until February 10th, but the winner gets to read it early!
Can't wait to read Reaper's Touch. I love how Eleri Stone's stories can twist together different elements that seem like they wouldn't work... but always do.
ReplyDeleteFYI...Looks like the Rafflecopter wasn't fully updated for this giveaway.
Can't wait to read this; it sounds great. I first came across Eleri's stories in Threads of Desire & have been looking for more of her books since then.
ReplyDeleteThank you guys:) And thanks, Colleen! I'll check it out and see if it can still be changed.
ReplyDeleteI love the concept of this book, western meets apocalypse, so awesome. This is a definite read for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steph. Hope you like it!
DeleteThis sounds really good, Eleri--is it a stand-alone? Thanks for the intro--going to add to my TBB!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Fedora! It's the first book in a new series, but the story is complete in and of itself so it can be read as a standalone. Subsequent books will be set in the same story world but involve different romantic pairs. So no cliffhangers or anything:)
ReplyDeleteOoh, my favorite kind of series--thanks, Eleri! Looking forward to this!
