    Summary

    Mel King was a creature of habit.

    There was a specific sort of choreography to her life beyond the chaos of the Emergency Department. A carefully controlled routine, a color-coded calendar, a rigid set of rituals that kept her grounded enough to keep showing up day after day, to keep on doing the work that was required of her to save lives.

    Everything was going fine for Mel. Her personal life was predictable, unexciting, and perfectly fulfilling, thank you very much.

    Enter Frank Langdon, agent of chaos.

    Summary

    The manager leans forward so fast that her chair creaks, the pipe forgotten in her hand. The look in her eyes makes Lucy think of vultures, ravenous for flesh.
    “Oh my,” she says. There’s a revoltingly breathless quality to her voice now. “You’d let him fuck you? The zombie?”
    “I mean, yes. If the alternative is him fighting another person to the death.”

    They've barely set foot in New Vegas when Cooper gets in trouble. Fortunately, Lucy knows just how to help him. All they have to do is have sex together. In public. How hard could that be?

    Summary

    Laura Kearney returns to Hackett’s Quarry haunted by nightmares of Max — nightmares that pull her back to the place where she lost him, convinced she needs closure to finally let him rest. But when she arrives, she discovers Hackett’s Quarry is no longer an abandoned summer camp; it’s a cage. And Travis Hackett is the only jailer left inside, hunting something in the woods that refuses to stay dead.

    Summary

    Travis’ jaw clenches at her question, the implication hitting a nerve. "Maybe. She was big on propriety. Didn’t want grandkids with any ‘whores’ or ‘floozies.’”

    This was opening up a whole other world to Laura about Travis. Had he never dated? Had relationships? “…have you never shared a bed before then?”

    Travis grumbles under his breath, clearly not liking where this conversation was headed. “No,” he concedes , still avoiding her gaze. “Never. It’s improper.”

    “…are you a virgin, Travis?”
