    Summary

    Dina is a rising star with a carefully managed image and a stalker who won’t go away. When things escalate, her team brings in private security, and Ellie Williams shows up—ex-military and not at all what Dina expected. She seems like all control and calm. She isn’t. Not when it comes to Dina.

    Ellie’s job is simple. Keep Dina safe. Stay professional. Follow a strict moral code.

    What follows is a dual POV slow-burn bodyguard romance featuring emotional repression, late-night yearning, and at least one security risk caused by being extremely, painfully gay.

    Summary

    After a career-ending injury, Ellie Williams returns home to rebuild her life, starting with physical therapy-and ending somewhere between stolen glances and tangled sheets with the one person she shouldn't be falling for: her therapist, Dina.

    But nothing about them is easy.
    Not Jesse, her ex and father of her kid.
    Not Ellie's war wombs inside and out
    Not the feelings neither of them knows what to do with.

    With slow-burn tension, the last of us-level emotional trauma, flirty banter, and a whole lot of "I'm not catching feelings" energy, Mended is a messy, sexy, heart-wrenching love story about healing-body first, then soul.

    Summary

    “Joel.” He says. He’s Texan, which as far as Ellie’s concerned is an accent-imitating jackpot.

    "Can I call you Joe?"

    "No."

    "Jojo?"

    "Absolutely not."

    There's a brief silence.
    “You’re gonna stop me from getting shot in the face?”

    “That’s the job.”

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    As the (alleged) daughter of the new president, Ellie Wiliams is hellbent on making herself as much of a nuisance as possible. Joel Miller, the virtually unreadable and perpetually grumpy bodyguard assigned to watch her for eighteen hours a day, certainly thinks she's doing a good job of it. But as Ellie processes losses of her past and present, she slowly begins to realise just how valuable it can be to have someone watching your back.

    (Angst/eventual fluff found family Joel & Ellie AU, slow-burn father-daughter relationship.)
