{"product_id":"signed-wayward-a-j-vrana-copy","title":"Signed Wayward - A.J. Vrana","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eWayward is a collection of nine spicy “slice of life” stories that take place before and after Wildblood. If you’re feral for Kai and Miya and wish you could read about them as though they were starring in their own contemporary romance, this book is for you. It’s the perfect way to catch up with this chaotic couple and your favorite side characters. Funny, sweet, and at times unhinged, Wayward sets aside the high-stakes, life-or-death plot twists in favor of domestic squabbles and spice in every chapter (literally), but rest assured, Kai still has no chill.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomesticity was never part of Kai’s plan. Hell, he didn’t have a plan. Between bar brawls and waking up in strangers’ bedrooms (or getting kicked out of them), he never thought he’d find himself settling down, paying rent, and picking up that bag of frozen peas from the grocery store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiya always had a plan. Graduate college, get a job, and find fulfillment somewhere between all the expectations. But after a few supernatural kidnappings, demonic possessions, and finding her soulmate, she’s given up on the mundane. A wolf shifter and a feral cat later, she couldn’t be happier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive years on, neither Kai nor Miya have looked back, though life in South Boston is hardly dull. Trouble follows Kai wherever he goes, and Miya thinks she might kind of like it. After conquering monsters, mobsters, and salvaging their relationship, Miya and Kai are finally ready to face the ghouls of modern life: Keeping up with therapy. Planning Halloween parties. Paying vet bills. Exploring fantasies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOh, and a casual vampire hunt in an adult club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-row a-spacing-base a-spacing-top-medium a-grid-vertical-align a-grid-center\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"a-cardui-deck-autoname-0\" data-a-remove-bottom-gutter=\"true\" data-a-remove-top-gutter=\"true\" class=\"a-cardui-deck\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-a-expanded=\"true\" name=\"a-cardui-deck-autoname-0-card0\" data-a-card-type=\"peekExpand\" class=\"a-cardui _about-the-author-card_carouselItemStyles_expander__3Fm-M\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-cardui-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-reactive-container a-reactive-container-transition\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-a-max-height=\"80\" class=\"a-cardui-content _about-the-author-card_carouselItemStyles_peekableContent__hWM3i\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA.
