    Summary

    After getting matching daisy tattoos for my cousin Jackie’s thirtieth birthday, she is convinced it’s finally time to find her soul mate. Me on the other hand? I don’t buy into fate, matching tattoos or destiny. Across town Joel Miller doesn’t believe in soul mates either, until he wakes up one morning with a daisy tattoo behind his ear. A disastrous first encounter leaves Joel and I firmly in enemy territory. And when Joel meets Jackie at a party and they discover their matching tattoos, it seems like destiny has brought them together. And me? I’m going to keep my own matching tattoo to myself. Why complicate things? Jackie is happy with Joel and I've started dating his charming and sexy brother, Tommy.

    Plus, there’s no way the annoying Joel Miller could be my soul mate…. Right?

    Summary

    He doesn’t realise he’s dozed off until there’s a thump elsewhere in the room that startles him, his eyes blinking back open. He absently rubs at the back of his neck, bracing himself for the inevitable struggle that will be standing back up, when a soft zip reaches his ears from immediately in front of him.

    It’s only then that he’s properly roused from his dozing as he’s met with the sight of Bridget, freshly emerged from the shower, kneeling on the carpet between his splayed legs.

    Summary

    AN- I promised myself once I wrote Javier Peña's story, I'd indulge myself with an Oberyn Martell one. I'd debated on what story to tell. I have a few ideas percolating. However, this came to me in a dream. One that woke me up as the main character and Oberyn faced off. When certain truths were revealed- the absolute heartache and sorrow is what woke me. I knew this was the story I wanted to tell. Is the sorrow the end? Not necessarily- but the pain is part of the process that leads to healing. Especially for those who've lost so much for so long.

    Summary- Prince Doran has declared Oberyn will do what's necessary for Dorne- take a wife. In fact, he's arranged for a royal tour among all major and some minor houses of Dorne, some in High Garden, and a couple in Storm's Reach, so Prince Oberyn can find an appropriate wife. Though Prince Doran has stated the woman must be of noble birth, doesn't care if Oberyn keeps his paramour, as long as Oberyn gets an heir upon his wife. As Oberyn seeks a wife, there are secrets to be found amid the House Tresbeni, the last house visited. The lady ruling there is single, remembers Oberyn too well, and hides a secret which could change everything for the Martells and Westeros.

    Summary

    After leaving the Fireflies, you ended up in the settlement of Jackson with Tommy, unwilling to part with the only friend you had left. You were even able to carve somewhat of a life out for yourself after a few years.

    Until Tommy's older brother shows up. You think Joel Miller is gruff and rude, and you're pretty sure he doesn't have a fond opinion of you either. That doesn't stop the attraction you feel for each other, but he's gone in a day. You settle back into a routine, thinking you'll never see him again.

    Then Joel returns a few months later, and screws up everything about the comfortable life you had established in Jackson.

    Summary

    “Laney, where have you been? I was expectin’ you hours ago.”
    Fuck. I closed my eyes, hand on the door knob. “Shit, I’m sorry Joel. I got held up. Can we talk tomorrow?”
    I heard him sigh behind me. “I’m leavin’ tomorrow. Won’t be back for a few days.”
    Taking a deep breath, I let go of the handle. “Fine. Yours or mine?”
    “Mine.”
    Or
    When she finds herself pregnant with Joel Miller's child, Laney must decide what to do and if the Boston QZ is really the best place to raise a child.

    Summary

    Albert Camus said that "A man is always a prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them,” and it made me wonder how we justify romantic affairs — if we are free when we enter them in secrecy, or only truly free when we have burned the bridges we ran over to reach the arms of the other.

    Naomi is married, Joel is married, and they can't stay away from each other.

    Summary

    At the end of the world you have so few friends left. What will you do when you end up alone again?

    Or

    How you come to Jackson and fall into a complicated relationship with Joel Miller.

     

    “You lost?”

     

    That voice. That same low, languid, gravelly husk that you had heard the previous night, now with an edge of a challenge to it breaks into your thoughts and demands your undivided attention.

     

    You whirl around again, look back in the direction of where you have just been walking and see him – tall, imposing and as broad as ever. Ruggedly Handsome is exiting the front yard of one of the houses, looking down at the cuffs of his coat and adjusting them, as if he has just put the garment on. The gesture itself is casual but you can see the coiled tension in his shoulders. If he doesn't like your answer, you can expect to be challenged on who you are and why you're here.

     

    “Not lost. Just new,” you reply after gathering your composure.

    Summary

    Oh, she was foolish. She was so, so foolish. Why had she done it? There’d been no need, no need at all. He’d let her go, he’d chosen to let her leave with a man he knew could give her the life she deserved. And yet, she’d found herself going back to find him. Only a week after everything happened, she found herself traveling back to that damp, dark lair, in the vain hopes of finding him there and sorting out the conflicting emotions she felt in her heart.

    Christine had thought that she’d hated him. She had, but then…that kiss. That damned kiss had changed everything, and suddenly, she wasn’t sure anymore.
    --
    They'd both done it. Without still really understanding why they had or where they currently stood, Christine and Erik had committed a most unforgivable act together, and now, they had to do something about it. Despite the one conclusion that they're able to agree on, they both know that the road ahead will surely not be an easy one. Can these two, at last, make sense of their complex feelings for one another and get things sorted? If not solely for their sakes, then their child deserves that much, right?
    --
    Aka the author isn't a huge fan of LND and wanted a proper redo.
