About the Book
Until the Smoke Clears: A Modern War Romance is an emotional survival romance about love, courage, and the impossible choices people make when the world around them falls apart.
When aid worker Lena Hart becomes trapped inside the collapsing coastal city of Orisca, she expects an evacuation convoy to arrive before nightfall. But the lights go out, the roads close, and the rescue never comes.
Elias Kane, a wounded former soldier turned evacuation guide, is sent to extract Lena before the city falls completely. His mission is simple: get her out and leave everyone else behind.
Lena refuses.
Inside a war-torn city of ruined hotels, underground tunnels, armed checkpoints, broken bridges, and desperate civilians, Lena and Elias are forced to work together to survive. She sees him as cold and ruthless. He sees her as reckless and impossible. But as danger pulls them closer, they begin to understand the truth beneath each other’s choices.
Lena is not naive. She is brave enough to care when caring costs something.
Elias is not heartless. He is haunted by the people he could not save.
As the city burns around them, trust turns into tenderness, and tenderness becomes something neither of them can afford to lose. But when the final road to the evacuation boat collapses, Elias and Lena must decide what survival is worth, who they are willing to become, and whether love can still grow in the ashes of war.
A gripping modern war romance filled with emotional tension, forced proximity, survival, sacrifice, and a hopeful ending.
