Zion Campbell lives for the next rush.

Jumping out of planes. Racing through mud. Wild parties, reckless choices, and women he never sees twice.

He doesn’t do relationships. He doesn’t make promises.

Then he meets Amantha.

Pink-haired, sharp-tongued, and completely unimpressed by him, Amantha has a life filled with responsibilities — and little patience for reckless men.

She’s raising her friend’s son, uses a cane or wheelchair when she needs one, and has built a life that doesn’t revolve around finding a man.

She’s the one woman Zion can’t charm into bed — and the first he realizes he doesn’t want to lose.

So he does something unprecedented.

He becomes her friend.

Soon friendship looks a lot like bringing pizza to her apartment, sleeping on her couch, one very drunk late-night phone call, and finding increasingly terrible excuses to spend every spare minute with her.

And somewhere between one adrenaline rush and the next, Zion realizes he’s in trouble.

Because for the first time, he doesn’t want another first.

He wants a second.
A tomorrow.

Before the world knew him as War, one woman taught Zion Campbell that some things are worth slowing down for — and some people are worth holding on to.

Four men. Four love stories. Four ordinary lives — before the Apocalypse calls their names.

War is the first standalone romance in The Four Horsemen: Before They Knew, a series about the men they were, the women they loved, and the lives they built before discovering what they were destined to become.
