Gunpowder & Embers
John Ringo - 2020
Smith. WAR IN THE SMOKING RUINS OF TOMORROW! Thirty years ago, the world ended. Giant electrovoric ants and pterodons came through a rift in space-time, millions of humans died, and that was that. Without electricity, human ingenuity has provided some creative work-arounds to the energy problem, but most people survive at subsistence level. For Chuck Gordon, the simple life of a rancher was enough. But then he met a mysterious dying stranger and now he’s on the road of destiny across America accompanied by a warrior monk, a beautiful dragon tamer, a runaway cultist, and a mystic drunken lecher—all searching for the key to reclaiming humanity’s past—and future.

She can't fall for ladies' man, Jake, not if she wants to keep what she holds most dear. Jake Harrison is the successful head chef of the hottest new restaurant in San Francisco. He's got everything he could want: a great job, good friends, and women falling over themselves to be with him. Problem is, he's always had a "thing" for his kid sister's best friend--ever since that one incredible kiss they shared as teenagers. When the two are thrown together on a joint bachelor-bachelorette weekend in Cabo San Lucas, Taylor goes in search of The One, and Jake tries his best to deny what he's felt for Taylor for far too long. The Right Guy is a sweet and sexy friends to lovers contemporary romance for fans of Lauren Layne.
