Summary
“Go away, Luc-” another growl erupts from inside, swallowing her name.
There’s more crashing, and she can hear the creaks and splinters of ancient furniture being destroyed.
Lucy should go back to her room, lock the door and sit up with her gun until sunrise, leaving with Dogmeat at first light. She puts her ear up to the door to listen.
“My name is Coo… Cooper Howard”
OR
Cooper almost goes feral and Lucy saves him. Then he runs.

Summary
Cooper's search for his family in Colorado lands him in another coffin, buried on the outskirts of Telluride. Lucy's attempt at creating her own happy ending with Max goes south faster than it began. The only option now, after everything they've wanted has fallen to pieces, is to form a new backup plan.

Summary
”Bullshit, probie,” he said easily. “You know, a silly little telemarketer bothered me once. Wouldn’t stop calling with some asinine questions. Do you know what I did?”
”You ate him,” Lucy bit out, “with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.”
To her surprise, Cooper Howard threw his head back and laughed, a real laugh this time. It was remarkably warm and inviting, and she was abruptly charmed. Dangerous.
“Yes,” he said, his voice honeyed and fond, “yes sweetheart, I did.”
Lucy knew why she had been sent here.
After all, the world had always loved stories about girls being offered to monsters.

Summary
What do you want, Lucy MacLean?
Lucy meets a guard at a settlement. He's kind, sweet, a little awkward in an endearing way. He's exactly the kind of man Lucy knows she should want... So why can't she stop thinking of The Ghoul?
Who does she want, though? Sweet and kind, with soft eyes and softer lips, or rough, hard and fast?
And when she gets the chance to confront her feelings, to experience that roughness... will she?

Summary
“You knew who I was, and you still did all that. The Cooper Howard I knew wouldn’t have done that to me.” Lucy said.
“That was 200 years ago, darlin’.” He sneered.
“For you. For me, that was four years ago. I was asleep while you turned into… this. I should leave you here. I’ll find my dad without you. Thank you so much for your time, Cooper. It was great to get reacquainted.”
“Lucy!” He called from the couch. “Fuckin’ hell, girl, just wait.”
Lucy spun violently on her heel. She wanted to shout at him. To ask how on earth he was Cooper Howard. She had known him. She had been friends with him. She’d been well on her way to falling in love with him. How was this scarred, vile thing him?
“You’re not the man I met 200 years ago.” She said.
“Oh yeah?” He spat. “You’re exactly how I remember you.”
