Blurb
One
day her prince would come…disguised as a zombie-killer.
Having
been disgraced and tossed out by her own scientific community, Gwyn
is convinced she can develop a cure for a SuperVirus that has turned
the Infected into zombies. By pure luck and determination, she has
survived on her own for years, but while out scavenging, a clash with
the local zombies leaves her potentially infected. Now, running out
of time, she needs help and takes a chance on a hero for hire.
Rafe
loves the apocalypse. Since the world went to hell, everything’s
come up roses for him. Having procured a mansion in the Hollywood
hills, adopted a slew of homeless boys and one cantankerous but
useful Doc, Mr. Charming is benefiting from the nasty zombie
infestation. His job? Killing the bastards, which he considers fun
anyway.
Gwyn
Snow needs Rafe Charming to help retrieve her research from the
Paragon Pharmaceuticals lab, also known as Zombie Central. Believing
she can yet save the world, Gwyn makes Rafe question what’s right
and what’s worth the fight.

Review Rating: 4 LIGHTNING BOLTS
Review: Whoever said all princes were the perfect gentlemen? Lived the perfect, charming life? That's kind of what the fairy tales led you to believe right? Well, I'm here to break that myth, throw a little spin in that typical cycle. There's someone you should meet. Let me introduce you to Rafe Charming. Yeah, he's no prince, but for Gwyn, he's her hero. This is no ordinary hero, though but really, Hero for Hire is no ordinary fairy tale, either.
Hero For hire is a fantastic spin on a fairy tale retelling! Unique, one of a kind and action packed, I found this story intriguing. Come on, it has zombies in it! Yes, I read zombie stories and really enjoy them. This story has plenty of action, suspense, a bit of humor, a great romance, and all around fast paced read. The book grabbed me right away and had me turning the pages to find out more. The characters are well developed, each bringing a great part in the story. Gwyn and Rafe, ahh these two are excellent leading roles. I can't wait to see what this dynamic pair duo of authors come up with next.

Merissa
McCain
My
name is Merissa McCain. I grew up in the African bush, without
T.V, and often without electricity. I now live in the deep South,
with my very own superhero, and my three minons. Together, we attempt
to take over the world.
When
not otherwise occupied with planning world domination, I love to
read, write, drink strong coffee and eat dark chocolate--not
necessarily in that order and sometimes all at once. I'm a voracious
reader, and will devour any type of good fiction I can get my hands
on, but I'm particularly partial to happy endings.
I
write with a partner (Margaret Madigan) and on my own. We love to
hear from our readers, so please shoot us an email at
Merissa.mccain@gmail.com
or mmadiganauthor@gmail.com.

Hi.
I'm Margaret Madigan. Or M.K.D. Bail, depending on what literary
genre we're talking about.
I live
in the vast Northern Plains where it’s quiet and mostly empty, and
very conducive to letting my imagination run wild. As a result, I
have difficulty focusing on just one genre of storytelling. Of
course, I love romance, so I write a lot of that, but I also write
science fiction, a bit of horror, and dabble in other genres just for
the fun of it.
When I’m not writing you’ll find me in a college classroom teaching English, or working as a literary agent for an amazing agency…and of course enjoying time with my family.
