You, Y/N Brown, a 21-year-old girl, left your hometown Gatlinburg in Tennessee to live your dream life in New York as a brand manager. Now that you have been away for 4 years, you already have your own company with two big contracts. However, during an October morning, your mom is calling you. This call will change everything. Indeed, she is announcing to you that Asher, your beloved brother, has been missing since September. At this news conference, the world is crumbling beneath you, but you don't think twice and decide to come back to your hometown. For your family, for Asher, and to find him back. But it was without expecting the arrival of a police officer, Jon Bernthal, who would turn your life upside down. With his deep brown eyes and his impressive but attractive aura, Jon Bernthal will become a pretty important part of your life; as much in terms of relationship as for the mystery around Asher. Between strong emotions, revelations, unexpected love and tensions, Y/N does not expect what will happen to her upon her return to Gatlinburg. Or even the evolution of her risky and forbidden relationship with Jon.

She never expected her one-night stand to be sitting at her father's Sunday dinner table the very next day. Jon is imagined as Jon Bernthal

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 14! Author's Note Thank you so much for giving this story a chance!
