Detective Killian Jones took an indefinite leave of absence from SBPD after his brother was murdered in the Line of Duty. Bitter and broken, he resides in a cabin on the beach when his brother's former partner, David Nolan brings him a case he knows the vengeful detective won't be able to resist. A case involving Liam's killer.
Dr. Emma Swan makes all of her decisions like she operates on her patients-with care, competence and diligence. But she second guesses herself when her colleague, Graham Humbert, is killed in cold blood by the man who was freed because of a decision she made as a juror. Now her squeaky clean reputation is questioned when she becomes a suspect for Graham's murder.
There is one detective who knows she's innocent, and he has a plan to protect Emma and find his brother's killer at the same time. When Killian finds himself caught between his duties to the SBPD and his need for vengeance, matters are only complicated by the feelings he develops for the woman he's supposed to protect. He's impulsive and hot-tempered, and she's methodical and cool under pressure. Despite their differences, can they work together to bring the murderer to justice, or will the murderer get to them first?
Authors Note: This story is based on Sandra Brown's The Crush. It's a novel I read a long time ago and recently reread and couldn't help but my spin on it with Captain Swan.

Fear for her unborn child, a bruised and broken Emma Swan is determined to escape an abusive marriage. After she drives a long way from home to a small town in Maine, she doesn't think her life could get more complicated... that is until she ends up falling for her OBGYN, a blue-eyed British man who's shielded his heart from love long ago. But he may be just what she needs to begin her healing process and start a new life for her child. If only nothing gets in the way. Rated M for a mild violence, language and eventual smut *TRIGGER WARNING* Mentions of physical and verbal abuse towards a pregnant woman. This is something that's been in my head for and wasn't sure if I should write it, but finally did anyway. And just to be clear, Killian is very professional and not some pervert using his position to get into Emma's pants. Killian helps Emma and comforts her while she tries to deal with her emotional scars. There won't be sex in the stirrups - this is not that kind of fic. ~~~ Reviews from AO3 & Fanfiction "Wow, I'm in love with this story already. I cannot wait to read more. Wonderful job."

You're In My Blood
After a string of murders lead Sheriff Killian Jones to Enchanted, a vampire club located in the outskirts of Strorybrooke, for information, a blonde vampire princess and owner of the club is unwilling to comply without some favors of her own. Completed!!! Rated Mature for very graphic details of sex, violence, and blood sharing. There are mentions of rape and mind manipulation, but the relationship between Emma and Killian is absolutely consensual. Continue with caution. Notes: This was written for Captain Swan Supernatural Summer on Tumblr and inspired by the show True Blood. Emma and Killian are somewhat based on Eric and Sookie with a role reversal. I've been on a hiatus for a while because of a lot of serious personal stuff, I struggled with getting this story started and I'll be the first to admit there are some scenes I put more thought into than others, so please review with kindness. Also note that not all of the rules of vampires are going to be exactly the same as True Blood, I wrote the elements of the story as I saw fit. A huge thank you goes to Allison for being an amazing beta reader and for all of your suggestions. I would also like to give a shout out to Alma and Eva for looking it over and for your relentless encouragement and feedback. Another huge thank you goes to Lydia for all of your encouragement and for always keeping me on track, and of course for creating the wonderful graphic for my story! Without you ladies and your constant support, this story would not have been written.Complete
