A girl alone in the world, she had found love with an old schoolmate, Jack 'the Captain' Remington III, after he had agreed to help her save her sister from her kidnapper, the King. Since then, their love had abounded. They had gotten married, and even had a beautiful daughter. Their life was finally coming together. Amidst it all, their best friend, Sam Burgess, had been there through thick and thin with them. When Maria was thought to be dead, Sam and Jack had gone to avenge her death, and then to rescue her from the clutches of the evil Martha Gliesberg, a scientist whose treachery knew no bounds. However, Jack had always had a nagging thought in the back of his mind: what if Maria and Sam were more than friends?In His Brown Eyes, Maria and Sam's relationship is explored. In this story, Maria is not married to Jack Remington III. A twenty-year-old girl all alone in the woods, she befriends Sam, tired of being by herself and having no one to rely on. Their friendship soon blossoms into something more. What would you do if you were faced with an impossible situation? Would you agree to do anything to save yourself and the boy you were falling for? That is the choice Maria must make when she and Sam are threatened with death and worse in this dystopian nightmare after running into looters in the aftermath of their own resources becoming depleted. Will Maria allow herself to be collected upon to save Sam? Or will she face death rather than to be owned by a familiar, but much more sinister, red-haired dictator who is her only chance at survival?
