Wrong Place, Right Summer
Elijah Green hasn’t been home in six years. Six years of deployments, Army life, and every excuse imaginable to stay away from the small Southern town he couldn’t wait to leave. Y/N has spent those same six years becoming the girl everyone talks about. The rodeo rider. The troublemaker. The sweetheart. The girl who somehow knows everyone and always leaves them smiling. He thinks she’s reckless. She thinks he’s miserable. The entire town seems determined to throw them into each other’s path. And no matter how hard they try to avoid it, they keep ending up in the same place. The same county fair. The same late nights. The same arguments. For people who claim they can’t stand each other, they sure have a way of finding one another…

Off Limits
John Logan wasn’t expecting anything special when Garrett dragged the team to Malone’s for Briar’s annual arts showcase. He definitely wasn’t expecting her. A girl with a microphone in her hand, standing beside Hannah Wells, and a voice powerful enough to steal the attention of an entire room. For a little while, she was just a stranger. Someone Logan couldn’t stop watching. Someone he fully intended to introduce himself to. Then Hannah smiled and made the introduction for him. Her sister. Recently transferred to Briar. Completely off-limits. Now Y/N is settling into campus life, finding her place among Hannah’s friends, and quickly becoming impossible to avoid. Between hockey games, late-night hangouts, music, and a growing list of reasons to stay away, Logan finds himself facing a problem he never saw coming. Because some people manage to get under your skin before you even learn their last name. And by the time he realizes it, it’s already too late.

Quiet Fixation
Y/N is used to invisible and long shifts—nothing about her job is supposed to matter beyond the end of the night. Until she’s placed at a table she was never meant to take. The guests are powerful, but one of them stands out in a way that has nothing to do with status. He is composed, controlled, and painfully aware of everything around him… including her. And unlike everyone else in the room, he doesn’t seem to forget people after they leave his sight. At first, it feels like pressure. Then it starts to feel like attention. The kind that lingers too long. The kind that notices too much. The kind that feels less like observation—and more like restraint. Because he doesn’t look at her like a stranger. He looks at her like something he’s already decided is important. And worse than that— He’s trying very hard not to act on it. He is aware of the years between them from the very beginning, and he tries—genuinely tries—to let that be enough reason to step back. It doesn’t stay that simple for long. What starts as a single shift begins to stretch into something heavier, where professionalism starts to feel like distance, distance starts to feel intentional, and every interaction carries the weight of things neither of them are acknowledging out loud.

Things We Bury
After losing her parents, Y/N is left with nothing but a letter and one name. Chris Walker. A man she’s never met. Hidden away in the mountains, Chris has spent years living a quiet life with his two sons, Carter and Blaine, far from the rest of the world. The nearest town is twenty minutes away, everyone knows everyone, and no one seems willing to tell her why her parents left this place behind. Y/N arrives searching for answers. Instead, she finds locked doors, unspoken history, and three men who look at her like she’s changed something the moment she arrived. A dependable rancher carrying the weight of old promises. A charming flirt who makes it impossible to keep her distance. A quiet hunter whose silence says far more than words ever could. The longer she stays, the harder it becomes to tell where curiosity ends and longing begins. Because some secrets were never meant to stay buried. All three want her, and some feelings are far too dangerous to ignore.
