Megan Voss finally has everything she dreamed of-a promising career, the perfect boyfriend, and a future she's worked her entire life to earn. Then her CEO begins mentoring her. Christian Price is brilliant, respected, and completely off-limits. As long hours become quiet conversations and admiration slowly turns into something far more dangerous, Megan finds herself questioning whether being truly understood is worth destroying everything she loves. Especially when the man she's falling for... is her boyfriend's father.

At thirty-six, he's a lethal ghost who views her strictly as an assignment. At twenty-one, she's a reckless scientist who refuses to be told when to breathe. He's supposed to keep her safe and keep his distance. Instead, she's ruining his detachment, and he's realizing some lines are meant to be broken.

Frank Castle doesn't do neighbors. He doesn't make small talk. He doesn't get attached. And he sure as hell doesn't let people close enough to give him something to lose. Then Elana moves into the apartment across the hall with her one-year-old son, Noah. It starts small. A broken lock. A few bags of groceries. Noah's toy rolling against Frank's boot. Late-night texts that are only supposed to make sure they're safe. You home? Did you lock the window? Kid asleep? Frank tells himself he's just being careful. Protecting people is different from caring about them. Until Noah starts reaching for him whenever he walks into the room. Until Elana begins recognizing the man underneath the bruises, anger, and carefully constructed walls. Until the apartment across the hall starts feeling dangerously close to something Frank thought had been buried with his wife and children. A family. Frank knows exactly what happens to the people he loves. So when his violent world begins creeping toward Elana and Noah, every instinct tells him to walk away before they become another pair of names he carries with him. There's only one problem. Frank Castle has never been very good at walking away from someone who needs protecting. And somewhere between midnight text messages, baby toys scattered across his floor, and Elana refusing to be afraid of him, protecting his neighbors becomes something much more dangerous. He starts loving them.

Ever since, I've been hunting down the scum in New York...while evading the most dangerous man alive. The Punisher. Oh well, I don't have to worry about him. He's dead.

Honora, known as Nora, is twenty-three years old when she leaves Seattle after a painful breakup with Isaac. Worn down by the pressure of college life and the relentless chaos of the city, she returns to her father's home in the small town of Riverfront, Oregon, planning to stay from September until Christmas. She hopes to find peace, distance, and enough quiet to piece herself back together. But Riverfront isn't nearly as frozen in time as she remembers. As the past refuses to let go, old family ties begin to take on new meaning, and unexpected faces reappear, Nora quickly realizes that nothing will be as simple as she'd imagined. Especially when Tommy (Jon Bernthal) enters the picture. Her father's best friend, her neighbor, and a police officer just like him, he's sarcastic, self-assured, infuriatingly composed, and far too present. Ever since her return, he hasn't stopped teasing her, as though he'd never forgotten who she was. And in a town where everyone knows everyone, some secrets are impossible to keep. Some lingering glances are even harder to hide.

** Jon Bernthal fanfic ** **Older man trope** Naomi thought graduation night would be the beginning of her new life.

Forced to stay under his roof while her fathers on a work trip, she quickly learns that Lawson has rules-and she's determined to break every one of them. He's supposed to be the man protecting her. She's not supposed to start wanting him. And neither of them is prepared for what happens when the lines between them begin to blur.
