Rule number one: Don't look at her. Rule number two: Don't cross the line. Staying in her father's guest house was supposed to be simple, but Frank is finding it impossible to keep his eyes off Nora. He watches the way she hides behind her clothes and tolerates a guy who doesn't deserve her. Frank knows he's out of line. He knows he's too old to fall into this trap. He just doesn't care anymore.

We all cross lines at some point in our lives. Some small, some big. Some once, others over and over again. Some lead to ruin. Others to something dangerously close to bliss. I crossed some lines. Two weeks. That's all it took. For me to cross lines there would be no coming back from. Lines that changed me, unraveled me, awakened parts of me I thought were long buried, and ones I never knew existed at all. Two weeks. Two men. Endless lines. Will they blur into something blissful or destroy everything I've known? --- When Ava arrived at the cabin with her boyfriend for two weeks of wedding chaos, she expected nerves, a little anxiety, and time to reconnect with the man she thought she wanted. What she didn't expect was them. His older brother. The brother's best friend. Two men- one all control, the other pure chaos- who would blur every boundary, unravel every certainty, and draw out a version of her she's never been brave enough to become. Because some lines, once crossed, don't just change you. They remake you entirely. 18+

Love is freefalling into some else's keeping. A surrender of your heart, body and soul. Trusting in Love is accepting that we can be loved despite our flaws and imperfections. Strength isn't always the strongest in the room. It takes strength to submit...not fear. Rayne Winters fights inner demons but manages to live her life in an often tedious but careful and disciplined way. Considered odd and avoided by many. She lives a life of routine and compulsions. But what will happen when she meets Nathan, a man who is willing to accept and love all of her? All she has to do is allow him control...submit. Nathan and Jaxon Knight share everything and live life by their rules, not by societies considered 'norms.' And what's so good about normal... right? And when one brother finds 'The One.' Jaxon struggles to let go of his past whilst Nathan finds perfection in the imperfect. 👀 👉🏼Note: This book will contain M/F/M sexual scenes and mature content. Be prepared to delve into the realms of a polyamory relationship. If this makes you uncomfortable. Move along! Completed July 21 Cover by the Amazingly Talented writer, Lael @candlesandwhips

At eighteen, Josephine's life is a rigid cycle of survival. After being disowned at fifteen and abandoned by the father of her child, she has spent the last two years working nonstop to provide for her son, Ethan. Every cent of her $22.90 hourly wage at an upscale downtown hotel is accounted for, split between a $1,120 monthly rent for a crumbling apartment and the $13 an hour she pays her unreliable babysitter. She exists in the shadows of the night shift, scrubbing floors and changing linens while the rest of the world sleeps. The fragile balance of her life is threatened when Barrett and Andrew arrive. The twenty-year-old heirs are arrogant, conceited, and only at the hotel to prove a point to their wealthy parents. They want their trust funds early, and they treat the workplace like a playground. To them, everything and everyone is disposable. When Josephine's babysitter chooses a date with her boyfriend over her responsibilities, she drops two-year-old Ethan at the hotel curb, leaving him with the new valet team: Barrett and Andrew. Josephine finishes her shift to find her son in the middle of a chaotic scene, her terror quickly turning to fury. But as the hotel manager prepares to fire her for the disturbance, Barrett intervenes with a lie. He claims Ethan is his little brother, dropped off by mistake. Knowing the power their family wields, the manager retreats, leaving Josephine tethered to a lie told by the very type of man she despises most. Now, Josephine is left without a babysitter and to make matters worse, Ethan has taken a sudden liking to the two arrogant men who saved his mother's job.

Alessia DeLuca was in desperate need of a change, the SVU was the perfect move. Fresh out of the Chicago PD Intelligence Unit, she has a tough hill to climb to prove herself. Especially to one Rafael Barba, who seems to have already made up his mind about her before even giving her a chance. They irritate each other to no end, but can they resist the magnetic pull they both feel? 18+. NSFW. Explicit language and adult scenes. This story will NOT be canon, because to be quite honest, I just don't have the patience to match everything exactly as people know it. I want my story to feel as fictional as it possibly can, which means many things will be completely new and made up for no reason haha! And he will be the Heavenly bearded Barba, not the clean shaven one, because DROOL. All the main characters DO belong to Dick Wolf. Only my OC and a few additional characters you've never heard of throughout the story are mine. All cases/scenarios between characters are strictly fictional.

Katherine Morgan leaves her emotionally abusive husband and moves from Atlanta to New York after visiting Amanda, her former college roommate. A Barba/original female character fic. Amanda Rollins is her best friend. Nick and Amanda are something. Starts during season sixteen after Carisi joins... Eventual Rollins and Carisi I will reference episodes if I pull from them, and I will deviate from the show at times. Update: I have the ending of this one mapped out which means it should get updated fairly regularly (this doesn't mean I won't get blocked from time to time, some chapters won't take longer than others, or that I won't get distracted by other stories... though I am currently intentionally neglecting some.) I have mixed emotions when it comes to ending this story... I'm excited for what I have planned, but I'm also not ready to let them go yet... which will both speed up and slow down the writing process. ***There will be 65 or 66 chapters depending on how they work out.*** This story is posted by me on AO3 as well. *I'm using screen grabs and other images from The Path because they lend themselves nicely to this story. Also images from SVU... obviously.

Maddox's work keeps her busy, too busy for an actual relationship. This has never bothered her since no one has managed to hold her interest... at least not until now. A Rafael Barba/original female character story. I originally posted it on AO3 under a different title (one I've never really liked) and am rewriting it as I post it here. It started from an idea I was kind of playing with and has an unconventional start, but as I kept writing I really started to like the development of the relationship, so much so, that it become the first story I actually finished. There's smut... lots of smut, fluffy bits too. I've fudged Barba's age a bit because I wanted Maddox to be in her mid twenties and a fifteen year age gap was as large as I was willing to go. It has thirty five chapters and I will work on rewriting them in between new chapters for my other stories. They need a lot of work. The first four were posted at once because that's the point I decided I liked the story enough to originally post it.

Maeve Walsh grabs dinner at a restaurant bar not far from her new apartment in New York, setting an unexpected course for her future in the city. This is a Barba/original female character fic... Liv's in charge... Nick minus the temper... Carisi closer to his character in his first season... Rollins is a little less surly... Fin is Fin... This story is posted by me on AO3 as well... It's ongoing, but I have more chapters complete so I should be able to add here soon.
