Summary
It starts with silence—simple, harmless, safe. But silence turns into stares, stares turn into heat, and heat turns into something neither of you can name. Every day the line you shouldn’t cross feels closer. What started as a simple stay at the Miller's home turns into something that neither of you ever saw coming.

You know right away you should not be thinking about him like this, and from the way he looks back, you know he is thinking it too.

Summary
"I'll leave you to it then. Maria and Ellie will guide you along." Tess said, her voice still stern. I guess it'll take a while to get on her good side. You nodded with a small scoff.
"So Ellie is also shooting?" You mused with a hard expression on your face. That bitter coffee and the mention of Ellie didn't really lighten your day.
"One of the best." Tess said before turning to walk off. You glanced at the door. Before you could reach for the handle, the door swung open, almost colliding with your nose. Maria stood there with a smug expression on her face.
"Right on time." She grinned and stepped aside to give you space to enter. You looked down at your feet as you stepped in, then stole a glance at Maria. Once you finally looked up, you saw it. A woman squinting her eyes aiming at a target.
Ellie.
It had to be her.
Almost as if on cue, she glanced up in your direction. God, this whole time, you'd just been bitter at the fact that there's someone so much better than you. You forgot the possibility that she could've been hot as hell. In this case- she fucking is.
And suddenly the name Ellie felt a bit more welcoming on your tongue.

Summary
For the last six years, you’ve lived in relative comfort as a citizen of Jackson, Wyoming. You should feel lucky to be part of a strong, thriving community and dwell safely behind sturdy walls. But you don’t. Not when you didn’t deserve it.
The real story behind your sister’s passing is a truth you can’t bear anyone to know. You try to smother the guilt, try to keep your days full with work at the stables and other tasks of mundane nature, but the ghost of her continues to hang over you after all this time. Things threaten to boil over when your best friend Tommy asks an important favor of you involving his surly older brother – one you’d really rather not agree to, but find yourself signing up for without much of a choice.
Putting up with him is no walk in the park at first. But, much to your surprise, the shadow of death clings to Joel Miller too, and so maybe it was only inevitable that a connection was to be made between a pair of tortured souls with dirty little secrets.

Summary
Ever since Sarah... well, ever since Sarah ten years ago, Joel's stayed as far away from kids as he can. Just the sight of one is practically enough to send him into a panic attack.
But then Tommy signs them up for a contracting job at a high school as a favor to an old army buddy.
And then there's a little girl in the front office, who somehow appears in the coffee shop Joel visits because the motel's coffee machine is shit.
Most damning is when Joel goes in to do some work at three in the morning and that same goddamn little girl is asleep in his construction zone and, when he wakes her up, says she's homeless.
Next thing he knows, she's asleep in his motel bed and he's filing foster parent paperwork.
What the fuck just happened?
(Foster parent AU! Featuring Joel Trying His Best And FailingTM, Ellie annoying local man and his friends & family into adopting her, and Tess/Joel as a lil treat for the masses.)

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
This was good. Joel could work with this. Dallas was far enough away without having to worry about hitting the reset button on every aspect of his brother’s life. He nodded quickly. He wasn’t worried about the kind of work he might be asked to do. He didn’t even consider it then - he saw a way out and that was all that mattered. But a wave of anxiety did wash over him which left him faintly trembly, weak in the belly. Everything was going to be on him, now. He had to do right by Tommy. There was no point to any of this if he couldn’t do it better than his old man.
