When she comes home for summer, the one man who makes her feel safe is the one she can never have-her father's best friend, Frank Castle. Older, scarred, and fiercely protective, Frank tries to keep his distance. But in the hazy heat of long summers and stolen moments, forbidden desire begins to unravel them both. A slow-burn age-gap romance thick with tension, tenderness, and dangerous temptation. TW: heavy smutt, swearing, alcohol, cheating mentioned, age gaps, sex, slight violence.

Veronica Rogers is suddenly the girl next door when she comes home from college early for the holidays, crushing again on her dad's best friend.

Welcome to my Bucky Imagines and One Shots - For those of you who want even more Bucky Barnes in your lives. Imagines and one shots about you and the one and only James Bucky Barnes. All stories are my own. I made them myself. If you see any of my stories anywhere else apart from here or on tumblr, that's a problem. Please note the following: My book is intended for mature readers only, ideally 18+ or older due to the themes of the topics involved. I've made the readers mature, everyone is of age and consent and respect is given. There will be: Happy endings in all stories Bit of angst with happy endings Mature language like the 'f' word is used Mature themes intended for mature eyes only Some smut but it's consensual and of age Fluff Little bit of violence and blood Please read at your own discretion. Types of Bucky's featured in my stories: CEO Bucky Chef Bucky Physiotherapist Bucky Billionaire Bucky Avengers Bucky TFAWS Bucky I am an older person so my stories are intended for an older/more mature reading audience. Again, please only read if you are 18+. I will summarize the stories so you have an understanding of what is involved with them before you read them. I don't own any of the Marvel characters, I just like to play around with them.

Arabelle Sinclair. Tiny but with a big personality. Only standing at 5 feet flat, she's never the center of attention. But that's okay, as she doesn't really care for the spotlight unlike others. *cough cough* Yelena *cough* . She's stuck in a relationship with a man who she doesn't love, and yet doesn't have the courage to break up with him (as he's kinda a psycho). James Buchanan Barnes. Almost the complete opposite. Dark, moody, brooding, and the hottest living thing on Earth. Tall and handsome, a bulky wallet, and always in the spotlight. And even though he hates the spotlight, being the richest man in the country gives you that spotlight anyway. He's a secretive man who's not very trusting, and puts his everything into his work. On one special night, James and Arabelle meet. And the fate of their relationship depends on how they weave their way through each of their lives. Hopefully it isn't too much to split them apart. ⚠️ TW: Abuse, Strong Language, S/A, Smut ;)
