Summary
“You,” he grinds out, “have ruined more than my day, Miss MacLean. I don't think you understand what this little road trip of ours has cost me. Peace of mind, for one. And Lord knows that was the most precious fuckin’ thing I had.”
He looms over her, so close she can smell the whiskey on his breath. As she stares up at his hat-clad silhouette, a strange feeling shoots through her body, causing a twinge between her legs and a tingle in her spine. She stands rooted to the floor, unable to think, unable to move.
He doesn't move either, except for his gaze. It roams her face, drops down to her neckline, jumps up to her face again. His anger seems to bleed away, and in its place something else creeps in. Something complicated and frightening.

Summary
When Lucy MacLean starts studying in the town her father went missing in, so many years ago, she does so with a mission - to find answers. Why did he leave her and her brother? Was he a man struggling with the mental load of raising two children after the loss of his wife, or was there something more?
When she’s sent to do a profile on a nocturnal, elusive archivist, however, she finds more than she ever could have imagined. Why had so many people gone missing, all around the same time? Who was this Moldaver figure, their name scrawled in the corner of so many ancient newspapers, and why does Professor Cooper - frustrating, arrogant, handsome - insult the authors of the classics like he knew them, over a hundred years ago?

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?
