The Contract of the Thousand-Year Fox Demon

Dorian Ashworth is an ordinary office worker, mild-mannered to the point of being a bit dull. On impulse, he once broke up with Tamamo Yoru—the fox spirit he had been dating—never expecting that this decision would completely tear away the thousand-year veneer of restraint she had long maintained. From that day on, the great yokai, who had once kept him at arm’s length, crossed worlds to pursue him, clinging to him with an almost pathological obsession and a possessiveness that brooked no refusal. Dorian Ashworth longed to return to a quiet life, only to find that he had long since fallen deep into a love snare she had been weaving for a millennium—and every struggle only pulled the net tighter.
