Allie has lived next door to Jon for as long as she can remember. He's always been just... there, the quiet house beyond the fence line, the man who keeps to himself, the one who never quite joins the rest of the world. Now she's freshly twenty-one, and everything feels different. He's thirty-five, a retired actor who left Hollywood behind for a quieter life, and he still doesn't belong to anyone, or at least that's what he seems to want people to believe. But distance has a way of changing shape when you've spent years growing up just out of reach of someone.

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.

In the city of blood, survival has a face. ___ Frank Castle has spent years hunting monsters. Then a new one appears. A vigilante who doesn't play by rules, doesn't follow plans, and seems to enjoy chaos more than justice. She leaves behind nothing but destruction, puzzles, and two mocking initials. L.M. She knows Frank better than he knows himself. And the worst part? He might actually enjoy the game.

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.

He was a dead man serving a life sentence in a hell of his own making. You were the only pure thing left in it. Taking place after the events of Daredevil Season 2 and diving into the brutal storyline of The Punisher Season 1, this story follows a fiercely independent university student double-majoring in Abnormal Psychology and Journalism, and her father's grieving best friend, Frank Castle. --- To you, Frank is just a quiet, broken shadow of the man you grew up with-a blue-collar worker drowning in the grief of a murdered family. You have no idea that the bruised, battered man sitting in your living room spends his nights waging a one-man war as the city's most lethal vigilante. Remaining a ghost as Pete Castiglione is the only way he knows how to protect the few innocent people he has left in his periphery. But when a suffocating, unspoken tension ignites between him and his best friend's daughter, his personal defences start to crack. It has to stay a secret. With your father - an NYPD detective and Frank's fiercely loyal friend - standing right between you, every heavy stare and stolen touch is laced with the threat of destroying the only family Frank has left. While Frank desperately tries to keep you safely in the dark, your investigative instincts are too sharp to ignore the blood spilling into your city. As you start digging into the criminal underworld, you inadvertently step closer to the dark, lethal reality he is desperately trying to hide. --- Timeline Note The first few chapters of this book are dedicated entirely to exploring the intense, psychological slow-burn and character dynamic between Y/N and Frank. The events of The Punisher Season 1 will officially begin incorporating into the story around Chapter 12! Author's Note Thank you so much for giving this story a chance! I'll be doing my absolute best to upload a new chapter every other day. I love reading your reactions! Happy reading! ☠︎︎⋆˙⟡

[UNEDITED/ DRAFT] New edited version now available for purchase on various platforms-check the links in my bio! "The Angel and The Royal Devil" 🖤 "If he doesn't stop staring at you in five seconds, I'll fuck you against this table and you'll come while locking eyes with him." I sucked in a breath, my eyes widening in disbelief as I confronted his impassive expression. He meant business, and there was no denying it. "Five," he declared, his gaze fixed on Joseph, who showed no sign of backing down, continuing to stare at me. "Four." "Stop fucking staring at me, Jo!" I slammed my hands on the table in frustration, my breath hitching and shallow, head spinning at the idea of Salvo taking me in front of a crowd. "Three," Salvo hushed, Joseph's gaze remaining steadfastly fixed on me. "Two." "Please, Joseph," I pleaded. He didn't shift his gaze from me, nor did he blink. "One." Before I could breathe, Salvo lifted me up, my face right in front of Joseph. My ass pointed at Salvo, making things a bit edgy. I held onto the table, feeling the tension. A sneaky grin appeared on Jo's face as Salvo forcefully ripped my gown. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haunted by a psycho stalker for three years, Luna Percy's life darkens when she falls for notorious mafia leader Salvo Ambrose aka The Royal Devil.
