The Fire Between Us

Three months after a one-night stand, Y/N walks into a fire station with news that changes everything. Rhett Walker never expected to become a father. Y/N never expected to need anyone. Now they’re trying to navigate pregnancy, unexpected feelings, and a future neither of them planned for, while discovering that sometimes the best things in life are the ones that catch you completely off guard.

Safe at Home

After a shoulder injury sends Brooks Callahan back to his hometown, he expects rest, rehab, and peace and quiet. Instead, he finds a young single mom and her daughter living in his parents’ guesthouse. Y/n has somehow become part of the family while he was gone, and the longer Brooks is home, the harder it becomes to ignore her, her daughter, and the life waiting for him there.

After Visiting Hours

They meet under fluorescent lights and too many machine beeps, all carrying something heavier than they know how to say out loud. What starts as reluctant company turns into something deeper as six teenagers navigate illness, anger, fear, and the dangerous habit of caring too much.

The Family project

The Family Project: a college assignment that sounded harmless on the syllabus and now feels like a loaded question. You and whoever you pick get paired up, handed a plastic bin full of folded slips, and told to “build a life” based on what you draw: marriage status, kids (if any), and a tax bracket that decides what kind of stability you’re allowed to pretend you have. Then you’re graded on how you handle it all, like love and rent and sleep deprivation fit neatly into a rubric.

Home Before You

After a broken engagement sends y/n back to her hometown, she moves into the spare room at her best friend’s family ranch. Sharing a roof with Beau Carter, the quiet older brother she’s known for years, wasn’t part of the plan. But somewhere between early mornings, late-night porch conversations, and life on the ranch, friendship turns into something neither of them saw coming.
