She only wanted to do her job care for the children, keep her head down, and move on. At the house she works in now, everything looks perfect on the surface. The family is polished, the pay is good, and for once, she feels like she's doing something right. But perfection has cracks.

The fathers are polite but distant, their stares unreadable. The house is beautiful but quite way too quiet. And the children... the children cling to her like they've been waiting for her all along. She tells herself it's just another job. That she doesn't need their approval. That she can't afford to care. But the walls in this house have secrets. And so do the men watching her. Soon, she'll learn that sometimes, it's not the little hands that are hardest to let go of it's the ones you never saw reaching for you in the dark.

According to everyone in his town, he's a monster. He doesn't deserve to be walking among the rest of them. That's far from the truth, though. He was never good at being alone, but it became something he was used to. After everything he'd gone through, he craved solitude. Until she showed up. She wiggled her way right into his heart and now all he craved was her. 𝐀𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐚 Moving to a small lakeside town in Washington was not where Alyna saw her life taking her.

All of the rumors say that he's dangerous, but all she ever feels with him is safe. With obstacles at every turn, will their love be enough to endure even the worst challenge they'll face? Or will they fall apart under the weight? started: 12/15/2023 published: 05/18/2024 completed: highest rankings: #2 bwwm #4 ongoing

She told herself she valued comfort, though in truth, change terrified her. With change came anxiety, and her mind, already a delicate balance, struggled to cope. Her favorite S-words: sleep, solitude, and snacks, were enough to keep her "mild" disorder in check. Until another one entered her life. Well... two. If you count sex. ♡ Saint Novak lived by two rules: stay comfortable and take each day as it came. With his intimidating presence and (mostly) emotionless exterior, he wasn't exactly easy to get to know. He didn't waste time on dead ends, keeping his life decisively organized.

Now, he's learning what it means to have goals, to want more, and to keep what's important to him close. So what happens when he walks into his parlor and is greeted by a new face? A very pretty face. One that stirs desires he didn't even know he had. Well, one taste of her is more than enough to set a few more goals.
