White Lights

They followed the white lights east—hoping for a city, a rescue, anything with a door of their own.

What waits at the river mouth is a humming compound, a fence under floodlights, and a power spur that never learned when to quit. Aaron Doyle, Lucy, Serena, and the living list who survived Golden Week and Yellow Wind step into Hekou and find warm beds, hard choices, and a coast that still walks toward sound. For the first time in a year, desire has room to breathe. Vows get spoken. The found family that kept each other alive starts to believe walls might be enough.

They are not.

The same machines that keep the lights on call every risen body for miles. Grief arrives without a schedule. Trust is tested in quiet rooms and on loud concrete. When the spur fails and the compound goes dark, the only road left is west—toward inland rumor, a tower that may still stand, and a country that has not finished deciding who gets to live inside a fence.

If you want romance that counts the living and horror that remembers the fence, this is the middle book that turns lights into a moral problem—and still leaves a road out.

White Lights is Book Three of The Delta Dead: a mature reverse-harem / polyamorous zombie romance-thriller set in China. Intense romantic relationships among multiple partners, graphic violence, adult situations, and a grounded setting of diesel, river water, and roll call. 

Written for readers eighteen and older. Begin with Golden Week and Yellow Wind so the living list means what it should.
