Layla in an Undead World
(2022)(The third book in the Love in an Undead World series)
A novel by Jackie Oliver
Binge the complete trilogy.
Unwavering optimism and a natural gift to bring out the best in people make Layla Sinclair stand out as a ray of sunshine in the post-apocalyptic scenery.
Twenty-year-old Layla grew up sheltered from the vicious landscape her father created when he weaponized the zombie virus. But a pampered existence secured behind walls, where she is only expected to smile pretty, won’t satisfy her passion to be a positive force in the world.
Her soul craves an end to the hostilities between the new U.S.A. her family founded and their enemies in the nation of Havenia to the north. When her uncle puts his faith in her to serve as ambassador in Havenia, Layla won’t let anything derail her from brokering a treaty, not even the captivating man she’s been falling in love with from a distance for over five years, Gabriel Zacks.
Gabriel, the president of Havenia, is not a good man. Though puzzled by the motives of his enemies for sending him one of their own to negotiate peace, he finds himself fascinated by Layla’s purity and trustworthiness. His intentions with the enchanting hostage change as he discovers she sees something lovable in him, urging him to give her anything her heart desires, except her freedom.
While Layla believes everyone is the hero in someone’s fairytale, the best Gabriel can offer is to be the villain of her dreams. Layla has no doubt Gabriel is her happily ever after. The only question left is - How much of her innocence will she have to sacrifice to cultivate peace and love in the venomous soil of Gabriel’s heart?
