BLURB:

Before World War III, Liberty Carson remembers what it was like to chase her dream and become a writer. She vividly recalls the feeling of her three precious children crowding her lap and her husband’s smiling face when he used to laugh. She still dreams of eating international street food in Baltimore. And sometimes, she envies this newer generation who never knew the taste of freedom.

Libby cannot forget what her country was like when it was still fifty states. Before the war turned half of the U.S. to dust and radiation. Before three men rose to power and sanitized what was left into their macabre version of America. Long before making a living meant taking whatever job they chose for her.

Now, she’s entering the penthouse of one of those powerful men, wearing her maid’s uniform, woefully unprepared to be in the presence of the unnervingly handsome Amos Hempshire, who gives off the distinct dark energy of domination. Libby distrusts everything about this man and what he stands for. She hates how he looks at her and how she can’t help but react, even in the face of her marriage vows.

If he plans to use her, she will return the favor, all the while stoking the ashes of the raging phoenix inside her soul, intent on revolution. Caught in a devious web of power, desire, and deadly secrets, Liberty will get one shot to burn it to the ground.
