Y/N always thought the hardest part of being a military wife would be the goodbyes. The early morning departures. The empty side of the bed. The missed anniversaries, birthdays, and ordinary Tuesday nights spent staring at her phone waiting for a message from halfway across the world. She was wrong. The hardest part was finding out she was pregnant without him there.
Y/N has spent nearly two centuries avoiding attachments, convinced that love only ends in loss. But when she meets Rowan Hayes—a kindhearted human who makes her want to stay—she finds herself breaking every rule she's lived by. As their relationship deepens, Y/N must decide whether risking her heart is worth the secret she's spent a lifetime hiding. After all, falling in love is dangerous when forever belongs to only one of you.
Y/N came to a small coastal town hoping to escape the noise of fame for a little while. Corbin Blackburn never expected the mysterious girl who showed up one rainy afternoon to become part of his everyday life. As friendship turns into something more, Y/N finds herself dreading the moment her secret catches up with her. Because Corbin doesn't know that the girl he's falling for isn't just a tourist passing through town. She's one of the most famous people in the world. And secrets like that don't stay hidden forever.
Y/N finds a strange child being hunted across the galaxy and does the only reasonable thing—takes him in. When the Mandalorian finally arrives to reclaim his son, a temporary partnership turns into something neither of them expected: a family.
Six years ago, a classified military operation went horribly wrong, leaving Y/N—the sole survivor of her team—fighting for her life. Official reports called it a failed mission. Y/N spent years trying to forget it ever happened. Now retired and determined to leave her military career behind, she's forced back into the shadows when new evidence suggests the mission wasn't a failure at all—it was a cover-up. To uncover the truth, Y/N must work alongside the last person she ever expected to see again: Mason Carter, the former combat surgeon who saved her life and never forgot her. As witnesses begin disappearing and old enemies emerge from the past, Y/N and Mason find themselves caught in a dangerous conspiracy reaching far beyond a single mission. The closer they get to the truth, the more they realize someone will do anything to keep it buried. With secrets resurfacing and danger closing in, they'll have to decide whether they can trust each other—not only with their lives, but with the parts of themselves they've spent years trying to forget. Because some ghosts never stay buried. And some stories were never meant to survive the report.
Y/N arrives at Camp Evergreen feeling like she’s already a step behind everyone else. After a year of burnout, overthinking, and quietly falling apart in ways she never told anyone about, she takes a summer job as a camp counselor just to escape the pressure of having her life “figured out.” She tells people she’s taking a break. The truth is she’s exhausted in a way that rest alone hasn’t fixed. Y/N is observant, soft-spoken at first, and careful about the space she takes up. She has a habit of apologizing too quickly, overthinking simple conversations, and assuming she is more of a burden than a presence. Around others, she can come off distant or reserved, but it’s really just self-protection—if she stays small enough, maybe she won’t disappoint anyone. She struggles with anxiety and self-doubt, especially when it comes to believing she deserves stability or love. When things get overwhelming, her instinct is to pull away rather than risk being “too much” for someone else. Physically, Y/N has a quiet, understated presence—often seen in oversized camp hoodies, messy hair tied up without much thought, and tired eyes that soften when she’s comfortable. She doesn’t stand out in loud ways, but people tend to notice her more the longer she’s around. Despite everything, Y/N is deeply kind. She pays attention to details others miss, remembers small things about people, and cares more than she lets on. She just hasn’t learned yet that needing people doesn’t make her a burden. Camp Evergreen becomes the first place where she starts to realize she might be allowed to stay—both in a place, and in people’s lives.
Y/N is convinced that everyone leaves eventually. Carter Stunts is determined to prove her wrong. Unfortunately, believing someone loves you is a lot harder than falling in love with them.
