After the bloodshed.
After your sister’s death.

But when you're forced to replace your sister in an arranged marriage, Arthur let you go, insisting it meant nothing.That was two years ago.
Now you wear your sister’s life like a second skin.
Her ring. Her fiancé. Her future.
It’s quiet. Safe. All pretend.Until the Van der Linde gang rises from the grave—and with it, Arthur.
Older. Still maddening. And now reassigned to protect you.Again.
He haunts your estate like a shadow.
You tell yourself you’ve moved on.
But every glance, every touch, every silence heavy with history... he unravels you.The law is closing in. Enemies are circling.
Last time, love nearly destroyed you.
This time, it might finish the job.You survived Arthur Morgan once.
But can you survive wanting him again? -

Summary
─ ·✶·
September 26th was always reserved for Joel Miller in your calendar. Hell, in Jackson’s calendar as well.
Everybody knew it was his big day, even if he didn’t like spending it with strangers, still stung by the past. Spending it with family, though?
That was something entirely different.With the day coming up soon, your plan to outdo yourself from the year before almost crumbles. You have no idea what to give him, aside from a small little gift he probably doesn’t need anyway—but you’re a thoughtful girlfriend and you cannot leave him without, at least, a little treat. He’s not a hard man to please, although he still doesn’t know how to accept gifts, not after years of trauma.
You decide to surprise him and show him how much he really means to you.In the end, things go sideways in a way you two will never forget.

Summary
graduating uni was more of a challenge than trying to pass each class for the entire four years you spent in colorado.
journalism turned out not to be the best pick for a young girl like you, miles away from home, with no penny to your name.which, well, forced you to drive back all the way to the austin suburbs, back where you set your first steps in this world.
coming back to austin meant one thing - your father breathing down your spine like a mother hen. it also meant coming back to your childhood bedroom, this time with a paper that cost you thousands of dollars, only for it to not even guarantee you a job.
planning to do your master's degree next, you desperately needed to save some money during this summer.so, how could you not agree to work at your dad's old buddy's ranch?
after all, joel miller wasn't a stranger to you.
and neither was his younger brother. -

Summary
“I need to order the part, it’s fairly easy from there on,” Hyunjin continued, leaning against the hood with his arms crossed. “But it’ll cost you.”
Felix blinked. “I told you, I’m more than willing to pay you for this.”
“Not really what I had in mind, city boy,” Hyunjin said, eyes narrowing with a grin.“If I’m gonna go through the great trouble of saving your shiny ass, it’s only fair that I get something in return.”
Felix raised an eyebrow. “Like?”
“A drink,” Hyunjin said easily. “Or dinner. Something that doesn’t involve me sweating and covered in grease.”
Felix snorted. “You always hit on your customers?”
“Only the pretty ones,” Hyunjin shot back, biting down a smirk.
· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·
A collection of quiet moments, grease-stained hands, tangled sheets, and a love that doesn’t ask to be understood.

Summary
After the fall of humanity, after the fireflies, Joel Miller finds peace in Jackson. But not you. You haven't felt peace since your mother died, since the monsters manifested in the dark.

Summary
The truth is that Mike Wheeler is intense. He walks around like a live wire. Like he’s always five seconds from exploding. And Chance can’t stop looking.
There’s something about him—something sharp and unsteady, like glass right before it shatters. He’s not like anyone Chance knows. He’s not like anyone wants to know. He doesn’t smile. Doesn’t laugh. Doesn’t do small talk.
And for some reason, that makes Chance want to crawl inside his head and stay there forever.
Which—yeah. Weird. Definitely weird.
or
Mike hates Chance. Chance is absolutely infatuated with him.

Summary
Clair’s posture straightened as it got close, her jean clad ass digging into the fresh cut grass. The glare off the windshield was blinding, but she was almost certain he was looking right at her. His features were hazy then, save for his eyes, clear, strikingly so, like the sky on the verge of a storm.
Gray like his moral compass.
That she was completely sure of. But she pushed the thought from her mind, knowing how impolite it was to make assumptions.
Or
Teen girl Clair struggles with her disdain for crushes when a new, mysterious man starts living in their small town.

Summary
Wiskayok, Florida — summer of 1985. The heat settles like a curse, thick with longing, rot, and the kind of love that doesn’t end clean.
Lottie Matthews is the golden girl of a dying town, all sundresses and good manners, quietly unraveling in the back booth of Miller’s Diner. Natalie Scatorccio is the wrong kind of girl with a camo jacket and cigarettes, a switchblade in her pocket, and her daddy on death row.
They’ve been circling each other for years—between quarry bonfires, stolen beers, and the kind of confessions you only whisper with your knees touching under the table. But when a party turns violent and Lottie throws the first punch, everything starts to shift.
In a town that’s already written their stories for them, Lottie and Nat dare to dream of something different. Something dangerous. Something like love.
