Hari orang tuaku bercerai, hujan turun deras. Ada dua surat perjanjian di atas meja. Satu untuk ikut bersama ayah yang gila judi dan berutang di wilayah Kota Tua. Satu lagi untuk ikut ibu yang menikah lagi dengan pengusaha kaya ke daerah pesisir. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, adikku menangis tersedu-sedu karena ingin ikut ibu, sementara aku diam-diam mengemas koper untuk mengikuti ayah. Kemudian, ayah berhenti berjudi dan menjadi orang kaya baru karena uang ganti rugi lahan. Dia benar-benar memanjakan aku. Sedangkan adikku justru diabaikan di rumah ayah tirinya dan dilarang keluar rumah, hingga akhirnya dia meninggal karena depresi. Saat mengulang waktu kembali, adikku tiba-tiba merebut rokok dari tangan ayah dan memeluknya erat-erat seolah tidak mau melepaskannya. "Kak, aku kasihan sama ayah. Kamu pergi aja ke sana buat hidup enak, biar aku yang kasih nasib baik ini buat kamu." Ayah terpana sejenak, lalu dengan perasaan lega mengusap kepala adikku. Aku tidak mengatakan apa pun, lalu mengambil tiket kendaraan ke daerah pesisir itu. Tapi, dia tidak tahu kalau di kehidupan sebelumnya ayah bisa berhenti berjudi. Itu karena aku yang menderita tumor otak ini rela bekerja sampai muntah darah demi melunasi utangnya. Pakai nyawaku sendiri baru bisa membuat dia bertobat.

(Book 0.5 of Her Wolves series) (Lore) (Can read as stand-alone) (Steamy) Once upon a time, long ago, my family and I fell through a hole in the ground. It had happened during a war I could no longer recall. Trapped us in this new place that none of us wanted to be. Separated us from the people we used to love. This world was different. Divided. The inhabitants were primitive. Their designs all but useless. Thus we took it upon ourselves to help them. To guide them into a better age. I had lost track of how long I have been here. But my heart still yearned for home. No matter our effort, this place would never be it for me. Could never compare to the love I had for Gerovit. My husband. The man I needed above all else. Gone for eternity. Until I stumbled upon a humble man from humble origins. He reminded me of the wolves I loved so much. Reminded me that I needed a pack to survive. Sparked something in my chest I had long since thought dead. Axlan. A bull-headed beast that fought me at every turn. Until he was no longer a beast… But the first werewolf on earth. I am Marzanna. The goddess of spring. The creator of life. But you'll better understand me when I say this. I am the goddess all wolves worship and this is how my people came to be.

Si Evangeline Yang, kilala sa high-end world ng Ligaya & Adonis bilang Apple Pie, ang pinaka-requested escort—tinaguriang Best Flavor. Pero para kay Eva, hindi ito tungkol sa karangyaan o pagnanasa—isa itong paraan para mabuhay. Ang gabi-gabi niyang bookings ang naging daan para siya'y makatapos ng BSBA major in Marketing, nakabili siya ng studio-type condo unit, at naka pag patayo ng maliit na negosyo para sa kanyang pamilya sa probinsya. Ngunit matapos ang limang taon ng pagtatago sa pangalang hindi kanya, handa na siyang mag-quit. Ang final booking niya: isang weekend sa Euphoria Island kasama ang isang estrangherong basag ang puso. Walang pangalan. Walang expectations. Walang label. Langit sa ilalim ng buwan. Mga halik na masyadong totoo para sabihing trabaho lang. At isang gabing akala nila, kaya nilang iwanan sa isla. Nagkamali sila. Pagbalik sa Maynila, handa na si Eva sa bagong simula-isang lehitimong trabaho sa isang prestihiyosong marketing firm. Pero hindi siya handa sa lalaking naghihintay sa kabilang dulo ng opisina. Gideon Morgan—isang self-made billionaire CEO at charismatic marketing genius—na minsang naniwala at naging bulag sa pag-ibig... matapos siyang paulit-ulit iwan ng babaeng akala niya'y sa kanya. Sa Euphoria, natikman niya ang kalayaang matagal na niyang hinahanap-at ang halik ng babaeng hindi niya malilimutan. Maniniwala na sana siyang hindi totoo ang second chances—hanggang may nagturo sa kanya kung paano muling umasa at buksan ang puso muli. At ngayon, narito ang babaeng 'yon. Sa opisina niya. Bilang kanyang bagong secretary. Sa mundong puno ng power suits, deadlines, at mga lihim na hindi nila sinadyang itago—kaya pa ba nilang manatiling propesyonal? O dadalhin ng Euphoria ang lahat ng damdaming iniwan nila... hanggang sa boardroom?
