Pestilence is captive / captor, enemies to lovers & forced proximity — steamy (3/5), first-person, ending on a hard-won happy ending. These 12 romantasy read-alikes are ranked by how much they share with it, closest first — each one explained.

When the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride to destroy humanity, firefighter Sara Burns draws the short straw to stop Pestilence — and shoots him off his horse, only to discover he cannot die. Taken captive as punishment, Sara is dragged across a plague-ravaged North America while her hatred for the immortal horseman slowly, reluctantly becomes something else entirely. It is a dark apocalyptic romance about what it means to be human, told through the eyes of a prisoner falling for her captor.
