Diana Collins is put off by Cliff Howard's playboy reputation--but finds herself falling for him. More surprising, perhaps, is the fact that her daughters are crazy about him.

A man who's rejected the world of money and power... When they meet, Amy begins to question her own future. Does she really want to give up her long-standing--and long-hidden--desire to be part of a family, to love a man and raise a family with him? Josh, too, questions his life. Maybe it's time to stop running from his past--and to share his future with Amy"-- From back cover.

Summary: Civilization doesn't end with a bang or a whimper. It ends with a call on your cell phone. What happens on the afternoon of October 1 came to be known as the Pulse, a signal sent though every operating cell phone that turns its user into something...well, something less than human. Savage, murderous, unthinking-and on a wanton rampage. Terrorist act? Cyber prank gone haywire? It really doesn't matter, not to the people who avoided the technological attack. What matters to them is surviving the aftermath. Before long a band of them-"normies" is how they think of themselves-have gathered on the grounds of Gaiten Academy, where the headmaster and one remaining student have something awesome and terrifying to show them on the school's moonlit soccer field. Clearly there can be no escape. The only option is to take them on.
