    Summary

    When it comes to the California wasteland, there aren’t a lot of places to want to hunker down, but if there was one to pick, it would be The Hub. It’s got a little bit of everything a surface dweller could want: water, lodging, gambling, murder.

    Of course, death out in the wastes is not a novel thing, but reports of caravans gone missing have become more frequent and, more importantly, bad for business. Afraid for their losses, the town’s traders start posting jobs for bounty hunters and caravan guards to nip the problem in the bud.

    Lucy MacLean, sole proprietor of Little Lucy’s Finger Foods is one of those traders in need of support for her upcoming monthly trek to Junktown to get supplies for the upkeep of her shop. Luckily for her, Cooper Howard, bounty hunter, gun-for-hire, and newcomer in town happens to know the trek to Junktown especially well and he’s looking for work.

    Summary

    A day longer in that room might have done them both some good.

    OR:

    “Restless again, are we?” he queried, a grin dimpling his cheek.

    Lucy nodded faintly, an eagerness to her he’d only seen her have when she’d wanted more drugs. She came closer, eyes twinkling against the dark.

    “And reckless, I see,”

    He already knew where this was headed.

    He watched, hypnotized, as her fingers slid teasingly over the brim of her shorts.

    Now he knew he was still sleeping. There was no way…

    She popped one of the buttons.

    “Are you going to stop me?” she asked innocently, but it was a dangerous, dangerous question.

    Summary

    “Hang on, now Darlin’,” a sudden, brusque tug pulled her down and she lost her footing, falling into his lap.

    She felt his breath on her neck, his lips brushing the shell of her ear when he spoke, “I don’t think I heard you right.” She gulped, stomach dropping as one of his arms snaked around her waist, the other came up to rest on her throat. She needed to disentangle herself, to get away from him, but he was too strong, and if she was being honest, she wasn’t trying terribly hard to get away. Lucy wasn’t sure she even wanted whatever was happening to stop.

    “You tellin’ me Miss Prim and fuckin’ Proper was fixin’ to sneak into my room and let me break her in before her lil boyfriend?”

    ---Or

    After losing her father and being abandoned by the Ghoul, Lucy spirals even with Max by her side, unsure of what she wants or who she is anymore. Luckily, a familiar face returns to help her explore all her worst impulses and vices to escape herself. But her evolving relationship with the Ghoul begins to drive a wedge between her and Max. How can she keep Max when she's not the person she was before? How can she tell the Ghoul she knows he's Cooper Howard, and why is he the only thing that feels like home?

    Summary

    Lucy followed the Ghoul out of that shell-struck old observatory and through the ruins of things lost so many times over by this point it was a miracle anyone was around who could still put a name to them. Idly, she figured, he might be the only one left around here who could.

    So maybe that was why she had thrown her lot in with his without much thought about it. Or maybe it was because she figured he, at least, would be upfront with her if he ever decided to throw her to the wolves. Or maybe, for the briefest of seconds, she had looked at him and thought, wildly, impossibly, that they might be on the same page. Or in the same boat, rather, one without any oars, and which was pitching dangerously.

    Or maybe it was something else. Something lesser known. Something like fate, like a little whisper spoken so quietly she didn’t even know she had heard it. But she was listening, now, and the best thing she could do, she figured, was see this through to the end.

    The Ghoul walked ahead, having similar internal dilemmas unbeknownst, albeit with significantly more swearing.
