The Return: Ashes, Ashes, Book 3 (Unabridged‪)‬

What would send someone back to the Wasteland after nuclear devastation?

The hazards of nuclear fallout make the trip a death sentence but when a desire to see his home and the hope of finding his lost family overcomes Rod Wasserman, he leaves the safety of the Mountain Place on a final, desperate journey back to the remnants of his old life. Certain he can't survive on his own—and terrified of her growing feelings for Liam—Amaranth agrees to join him, knowing in all likelihood the trip will mean the end for them both. What they discover forces them to face the ugly truth about the "new world" after the bombs and to build a completely new definition of "family."
