In the New Republic, every woman must marry five men.
It’s the law.
Welcome to the apocalypse.
‘And do you, Audrey Dawson, accept the five men before you as your wedded husbands, for as long as you all shall live?’
Audrey’s entire body shook as she looked around the front of the church at the men who had been strangers only three weeks before.
She didn’t know them much better now.
Was she really going through with this? Yes. You already decided you would. There’s no turning back now.
So she stood up straight and forced her voice not to waver as she said, ‘I do.’
Nix, the biggest and scariest of all of them, leaned forward and kissed her knuckles before sliding a delicate gold band onto her fourth finger.
Oh God oh God oh God.
‘Clan Hale is born today,’ it was announced triumphantly. ‘Six are united as one. What has been joined today let no man tear asunder!’
The crowd cheered and Audrey looked out at the little church, packed mostly with men, women dotting the crowd only here and there.
‘You may now kiss your bride.’
Audrey’s eyes popped wide open as she looked between her new husbands.
Would they line up or something?
Was this more of a ceremonial thing, like just a quick peck, or—
Before she could catch her breath, Nix was dragging her out the back of the church, the rest of her husbands—oh God, her husbands, plural—following on their heels.
After several jarring steps, she closed her eyes and clung to Nix’s back.
Just go loose.
Do not hyperventilate.
So what if she was about to lose her v-card?
In a six-some.
No big deal.
She just had to lay there.
Right?
…
Who the heck was she kidding?
It was a big deal.
It was a huge, giant effing deal.
Before she knew it—and far before she was ready, because who was she kidding, she wasn’t sure she’d ever be ready for this—she was being deposited on the bed.
Five men. Her.
And one very large bed.
… Apparently there wouldn’t be any waiting to consummate this marriage.
A heart-pounding, found-family romance packed with devotion, longing, and five men who would do anything to keep the woman they call theirs.
NOTE: This book contains some dark elements and covers sensitive topics. Any reader that feels they shouldn't venture into this apocalyptic world of sometimes harsh realities should please consider before reading. Full TWs available on the author's website. This is a standalone novel in the now complete Marriage Raffle Series.
