The Killing Hour

They were never prisoners. They were entertainment. When former paramedic Remi Calloway wakes inside a sealed dome with strangers and no way out, survival becomes the only rule. Every day at noon, the world turns cruel. Every day, someone doesn’t come back. And somewhere outside the walls… people are watching. When Remi escapes, she expects freedom. Instead, she finds something worse. The dome wasn’t an experiment. It wasn’t random. It was a business. And people like her were the product. Now, alongside quiet, lethal loner Jed Riker and a small team of survivors who refuse to stay victims, Remi hunts the system that built their cages—one site, one rescue, one monster at a time. But the closer they get to the man at the top……the more dangerous the game becomes. Because predators don’t like being hunted. And this time? They’re not running. They’re ending it.

A dark romantic thriller about survival, found family, and burning down the people who thought you were disposable.
