Emilia "Em" Bennett never expected a random day on a film set to change her life.
When she notices three restless kids struggling with the chaos of their father's latest project, Em does what comes naturally she sits down, plays with them, and somehow turns their meltdown into laughter.
Their father notices.
Jon Bernthal is used to life in front of the camera, but balancing his demanding career with shared custody of his three children is another story. When their longtime nanny suddenly quits, Jon needs someone he can trust. He just never expected it to be Em.
What starts as a favor for the rest of one day's shoot quickly turns into a job. Soon, Em is juggling school runs, homework, bedtime stories, and three kids who are becoming more attached to her by the day.
But somewhere along the way, Em realizes she's becoming more than their nanny. She's becoming part of their family. And Jon is starting to see her as something more, too.
Em never auditioned for the role of nanny.
She certainly never expected to fall for their father.

Dad's Best Friend - Jon Bernthal Fanfic
He's your dad's best friend which deemed you off limits. Or so, you'd think you were.
The Neighbor
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.Complete

NIGHT SHIFT
This is a VERY slow burn. ----- Frank Castle has a routine. Before a job-and sometimes after-he stops at the same twenty-four-hour diner. Same corner booth. Same black coffee. Same waitress. Josie Monroe, twenty-five and new to New York City, knows Frank only as her quiet, intimidating regular. He barely talks, always sits facing the door, and occasionally shows up with bruised knuckles he refuses to explain. She has no idea what he really does. No idea that the man whose coffee she has waiting every night is the Punisher. Then Frank walks in one rainy night beaten, bloody, and barely holding himself together. Josie grabs the first-aid kit instead of asking questions. Frank knows he should stop coming. Because somewhere along the way, the diner stopped being part of his routine. Josie became it.Complete

Nightcrawler (A Slimecicle FF)
Hi! This is part of a new series I'm doing, with three books. Each book is a continuation of the previous one, but they also each have their own love interest (the other two will be from chuckle sandwich) Also, mind if there's some first person POV, it's unintentional. There shouldn't be that much, since I tried to cut it all out. Desc.: Charlie is a regular guy. Well, not regular; he has his quirks. But he's more regular than the girl he's seen wandering the streets late at night. The mysterious, hooded girl that nobody knows. What happens when they meet? A/N: Sorry, haha, that description sucks but it's not a terrible book soooComplete

When unexpected circumstances leave Y/n riding alone with Jon for hours, stolen conversations, lingering glances, and undeniable chemistry begin to blur the line between friendship and something far more dangerous. The closer they get, the harder it becomes to ignore the feelings they've both tried to bury. Keeping their distance was supposed to be easy. Keeping their hearts out of it? Not so much. Will they risk everything for a love that could tear a family apart, or will some rules prove impossible to break?
Where We Remain
Mara never planned on letting Frank Castle get close. He's stubborn, dangerous, infuriatingly persistent-and far too accustomed to solving every problem with force. Mara refuses to become another problem he can simply fix. So when Frank starts calling, she declines. When he texts, she ignores him. When he pushes, she pushes back harder. But Frank Castle has never been good at walking away. What begins as irritation slowly becomes something neither of them expected. Lingering looks last a little too long. Arguments carry an edge that feels dangerously close to desire. His protectiveness becomes personal. Her carefully built walls begin to crack. Frank knows how to fight wars, hunt monsters, and survive things that should have killed him. Mara is different. She can't be chased down, intimidated, or won over with persistence alone. If Frank wants her, he'll have to learn something far more difficult than fighting- how to wait for her to choose him. A gritty, emotional slow-burn romance about two stubborn people, impossible boundaries, buried feelings, and a man discovering that the one battle he desperately wants to win is the one he can't force.Complete
