Summary
You’re home from school for the summer, a lit fuse begging for trouble. Joel’s your dad’s best friend, older, rough around the edges, and gorgeous. He's a flame you can’t quit chasing, and it doesn't take long before you’re just a moth, wings charred, too stupid to fly away. Rough hands, hissed regrets, every ‘this ends now’ just fuel on the fire. You’re a wreck, he’s a ruin and it can't be long ‘til you both burn down.

Summary
"You met the man your mother hired for you two mornings after the death of your last security detail, shrouded in so much black that you wondered if he might create a void of energy around him—a cloud of gruff and grueling seriousness stuck at his head. A crown of brutal commitment. Nikto, you learned he was called. Employed under some PMC group called KorTac. Former Russian Spetsnaz. Nikto...Yes, you quite liked how that rolled off the tongue."
In which a young woman finds herself in the sights of a dangerous stalker and under the protection of an equally dangerous man.

Summary
What was monstrousness? What was it, but a certainty that there existed within you multitudes of desires, needs, guilts, impulses – humanity? At the end of the world, when the dust has finally settled, Joel grapples with what it is to take hold of your own monstrosity – your own humanity – and live with it. And what it is to bear that truth in the palm of your hand held towards the person you love, offer it to them, and have it be accepted for what it was. Courage, above all else, it is courage that is necessary to go on.

Big bad Joel Miller falls in love and doesn't know how to deal with it.

Joel breaks in. Reader bites Joel. Joel punches reader in the face. Tommy won't let him kill her though, and that's really fucking annoying.

Summary
Also posting on Tumblr!
Bay Rose, a 28 year old survivor with a special kind of talent, finds safety in Jackson years after the outbreak. After a complicated history with the Fireflies and a group of hunters, she wonders if she can still find some kind of happiness in a post-apocalyptic world.
Enter Joel and Ellie, a non-father/daughter duo who arrive in Jackson a year after Bay. Unknowingly, they shake Bay’s life up in the most chaotic way possible.
These days, everyone has secrets. So what will happen when Joel discovers what Bay is hiding and when Bay learns the truth about Ellie’s scar?
This isn’t the best summary, but I have a lot planned and I want to keep some things a surprise! Now, technically the female character is named “Bay”, but it’s a nickname. Her appearance will be left to interpretation so you can still insert yourself as the reader! It’s just easier for me to write if she has a name. And I’ve made up a fun little backstory for it.
