A Wanted Man — Beth D. Carter

The world has changed.

No one knows how the Z-disease happened, but no cure is available. Humanity is a forgotten concept, and to survive the scavengers and roaming plague scouts, one must blend in or become invisible. And above all never trust anyone. Atticus Sandin is a loner, avoiding human contact as much as possible. Until he discovers a young man on his own in the deserted wasteland and he can't help but be curious. So he watches, content to admire from afar. But when bounty hunters come for the young man, he makes the choice to step in and save him. Kit McKittrick escaped the brutal confines of imprisonment just before he was to be sold into being a sex slave. But the slavers aren't the only ones who want him. The underground scientists have finally found him, and they want him because he's the only person born immune to the plague. Kit might be wary of the handsome loner, but he realizes Atticus might just be the person he needs to stay safe, if only he didn't feel so attracted to the man.
