On the night of the blood moon, during a sudden supernatural storm, our convoy was ambushed. As five silver-dipped crossbow bolts pierced my body, my wolf howled in agony as my life force drained away. My fated mate, Donovan, arrived at the scene in a flash. But instead of rushing to my side, he lifted his pitiful lover, Piper, from the passenger seat and turned to leave. He didn't even spare me a glance. I spent three days and nights unconscious in my Vaughn Pack's Fountain of Life, clinging to life, and he never once came to visit. All his attention was on the she-wolf who had only suffered minor poisoning from wolfsbane. After being deceived by the mate bond for nearly a decade, I was done being played for a fool. The day I recovered, I demanded to sever the mate bond with Donovan Slade. Miraculously, I had survived, and I refused to waste another moment on a werewolf who didn't care if I lived or died.

With their last job barely behind them, Hellion and Azazel fall in with a caravan of colorful strangers, all bound for the town of Durchdenwald, hoping for a quiet trip. But when one of the group is murdered, the journey unravels into mistrust, conflict, and something other still—waiting in the trees.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
