The Watchmen Alone by Grace M. Bradley

If you're an outsider, you're the enemy. A threat that needs to be extinguished. There are no safe places for people like her.

Quinn Davis never could have prepared herself for the world she lives in now. Ten years after a devastating virus toppled everything around her, she finds herself alone in a far more dangerous world. Rules have changed, and the wealthy elite are in charge of what's left. Running from a painful past, she heads towards the Pacific coast, hoping to escape it before it destroys her. Halfway into her journey, she has a deadly encounter with the Watchmen that leaves her badly wounded and carrying a dark secret. When she awakens in a strange new place, she finds herself held captive by the handsome man who saved her life. She is both intimidated by and attracted to him. When he asks questions she can't answer, she knows she has to escape before her secrets have deadly consequences.

The Order of the Watchers answers only to themselves. They are the law. If you are against them, you're a threat. Threats are answered in blood.

Alex Taylor is seeking answers about rumors related to the Watchmen while there is growing unrest at the outposts. On his way back from a neighboring outpost, he makes an unscheduled stop. Everything changes when he discovers a severely injured young woman. He races to save her life and ends up putting his hunt for answers on hold as questions pile up about the beautiful mystery woman. Despite his best efforts to extract the truth from her, he can tell she's hiding something. Her desire to escape raises his suspicions, and he agrees to keep her locked up as long as she's a threat.
