Summary
When you returns home from college, your plan is simple: introduce your picture-perfect boyfriend, survive your dad's overprotective instincts, and pretend you aren't still thinking about Joel Miller-the brooding, emotionally unavailable family friend who lives across the street.
But the bruises on your skin tell a story no one is supposed to know. And Joel? He notices everything.
As you spirals deeper into a dangerous relationship, Joel is forced to confront the lines he's never dared cross. Your off-limits. Too young. Too important. And yet... he can't stay away.
Tension builds, secrets unravel, and one quiet street becomes a powder keg of jealousy, shame, and barely restrained desire.

Summary
Seven years after Joel Miller finds you orphaned in the Boston quarantine zone, you’re still the one person he can’t send away—not even from his bed. As you grow up, Joel’s need curdles into something secret, obsessive, and ruinous… and once the line is crossed, neither of you comes back unchanged.

Summary
Joel Miller’s life has turned to ash—he's a year in a life after a ruined marriage, long work days at the fire station, and a four-year-old daughter who deserves better. He swears he doesn’t need help, but everyone else knows he’s drowning. Especially his brother and best friend.
You—a teacher on summer break, broke, stubborn, and desperate enough to take anything. When Tommy recommends you a job, you figure it’s just another way to pay the bills. What you don’t expect is Joel—the same man who made your heart beat a million times faster. The same man who gave you everything, then left you with nothing.
For him, you’re supposed to be the babysitter he happens to know. For you, he’s supposed to be just a paycheck with complicated feelings. But old hurts tangle with new sparks every time he looks at you. This feels dangerous, because it won’t just be your summer that burns.

Summary
When your high-powered marketing career goes up in flames, you find yourself back in Texas and out of options—until your old childhood best friend Tommy Miller offers you a job at his family’s growing construction company. The only catch? His older brother Joel, the project manager with a chip on his shoulder and zero patience for your city-slicker attitude.
You clash instantly: you’re clever, confident, and painfully corporate. He’s quiet, rugged, and set in his ways. You push his buttons. He pushes back harder. But somewhere between long meetings, late nights, resurfacing memories, hurt, along with one very unexpected work trip… the tension starts to shift.
What begins as bickering turns into banter. Glances linger. Walls crack. And neither of you is quite sure when things started to change.
