After Sundown: A Novel by Linda Howard and Linda Jones

This novel has a contemporary setting in a real place - Wear’s Valley – just west of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, on the Tennessee side. It is the story of the romance between Sela Gordon, a shy owner of a general store, and Ben Jernigan, an ex-military recluse who feels compelled to warn Sara that the power grid is fixing to collapse. “Linda Howard writes such beautiful love stories. Her characters are always so compelling... she never disappoints.”  - Julie Garwood. "As hot romance sizzles between the pair, steadily mounting panic among those trying to survive the crisis keeps the pages turning. This frighteningly realistic tale will have readers riveted."  - Publishers Weekly. "This new collaboration between Howard and Jones weaves a moving love story into a community’s journey through hardship and sacrifice. The worldbuilding in this romantic thriller clearly shows how a cataclysmic event brings these self-imposed loners, and their community, together."  -  Library Jour
