Summary
"Your dad would have a goddamn heart attack if he saw you wearing that." Joel mutters, his eyes moving over my legs before returning to the road.
My belly heats from the alcohol or more likely- Joel's words. But with what I say next, I'm going to attribute it to the alcohol.
"My dad or you?" I ask quietly, expecting him to say nothing.
The leather steering wheel squeaks under his tight grip, jaw clenching before he speaks. "At this point, darlin', it might be both." -

The problem is, he's not the only one looking to stake his claim in the tropics. The owner of the island, a family man first and foremost, invites all the bidders to the island for a month long retreat to help him decide which mogul will be crowned the winner.

Summary
The next twenty minutes are fairly uneventful, Ellie sniffling incessantly while talking about the new kittens born to the cat that lives in the stables. Her nose starts to run again, Joel internally cringing. He’s almost forgotten how gross kids can be. Half-feral kids raised in post-apocalyptic military schools are no exception, it seems.
Or, Joel and Ellie have been in Jackson for three months now, and are still figuring things out. Ellie getting sick brings up old memories for both of them.

Summary
Will didn’t tell anyone why she left Michigan. She just showed up in Texas with a half-packed bag and a bruised heart, looking for quiet, for distance.
The ranch was supposed to be an escape Something still, something simple. But between late nights on the porch, too-long glances, and the kind of silence that says more than words, Will starts to want things she swore she was done wanting. Joel Miller is older, closed-off, and entirely wrong.
A slowburn story, forbidden tension, starting over, and the heat that simmers just beneath the surface.

Summary
When your high-powered marketing career goes up in flames, you find yourself back in Texas and out of options—until your old childhood best friend Tommy Miller offers you a job at his family’s growing construction company. The only catch? His older brother Joel, the project manager with a chip on his shoulder and zero patience for your city-slicker attitude.
You clash instantly: you’re clever, confident, and painfully corporate. He’s quiet, rugged, and set in his ways. You push his buttons. He pushes back harder. But somewhere between long meetings, late nights, resurfacing memories, and hurt, along with one very unexpected work trip… the tension starts to shift.
What begins as bickering turns into banter. Glances linger. Walls crack. And neither of you is quite sure when things started to change.

Summary
Just a regular day, but they were the days Ellie liked the most.
Then Tommy came over.
That, in itself, wasn’t the problem. The problem was the fact that he had interrupted their breakfast by pounding on the door like someone was dying. Ellie flashed a look to Joel, but he was already standing, looking slightly worried as he walked toward the front door just beyond the kitchen. Tommy beat him to it, opening their front door just as Joel reached it.
“Joel.”
The word was spoken with such soft desperation that Ellie was on her feet in an instant. Something was wrong, something was happening, and whatever it was had Tommy shaken enough to say Joel’s name like that.
“Joel. There’s a woman at the gate.”
(Or Sarah lives! somehow! And Ellie is forced to realize her place besides Joel now that his REAL daughter is home)

Summary
The woman whips around, and yeah, she looks like she could be in her mid thirties, but Ellie is so confused because Joel never would have left her if there was even a chance Sarah were alive, he wouldn’t have abandoned her, and Ellie swings the scope back to Joel to see if she can read his face, but he’s facing the wrong way, and he’s hunched over like he’s physically in pain and—
“Daddy?”
She starts to move, slowly, towards Joel, taking halting steps like she thinks he’ll disappear. He doesn’t move at all.
Distantly, Ellie hears Anna radioing for Tommy.
“Daddy?” she asks again, and Ellie registers her southern drawl, even more pronounced than Joel and Tommy’s. She sounds like Scarlett O’Hara. Tommy made her watch Gone with the Wind last month, after Ellie had missed it on movie night.
Joel still hasn’t moved. Sarah doesn’t step any closer to him.
They just stand there, in a stalemate.
Joel is breaking down.

Summary
Joel used to be Ellie's favorite person in the world. Her hero. Now, she just glared right through him.
Sarah would yell at Joel for it if she was here.
She wasn’t.
Still, her shadow was sitting in the kitchen with them.
“I…” Halfway through his sentence, Joel turned his eyes down the hallway and instead towards his own room.
“Daddy, I miss you.” Ellie’s little toddler voice returned to his ear, from all of those years ago.
It felt fair, that he hadn’t paid enough attention to those three little words then, and now he was feeling them himself.
Joel felt the burden of tears stinging in his eyes. “I miss you. I miss how we were. You’re still my little girl.”
Ellie’s molars clamped down on the inside of her cheek as anger washed over her face. “I’m thirteen,” She corrected shortly. “And you were the one who taught me not to need you. It’s not gonna change just ‘cause you want to actually fucking be a dad now.”
TLDR: Ellie is Sarah's baby sister. Sarah still dies on apocalypse night, and Ellie is left with their father, broken now. This will go all the way through season one with this muchhhh added baggage.

Summary
It didn't take Joel long to fall for you. You were Sarah's favorite teacher at school, teaching English. It didn't help that you were also beautiful, kind, smart, everything he valued in a woman.
You loved Sarah like a daughter, as you did all your students. But there was something about her dad that threw you off; his lingering gazes, the way he'd always try to make small talk with you.
Before you knew it, you were head over heels for the father of your brightest student.
