Summary
Later, when Dina thinks about it — and she will, as much as she needs to, in bed, when she stares up at the ceiling, with an early morning patrol hanging over her head, watching the shadows trawl across knotty pine, mind working the puzzle of Ellie, over and over again, even after all this time — Dina feels like she’s getting closer to that soft, stripped down unseen.

Summary
"The air catches dry in her throat all the same as she runs her hand over the soft, worn fabric. She brings it close to her face, slowly closes her eyes, and breathes in the lingering scent.
It smells like…
...like the earth out in the woods.
Like the soap they all share in the bath, tinged with lavender.
Like the oil she watched Ellie rub into the fretboard of her old guitar.
Like whiskey.
Like Ellie.
She can almost feel her again, right there with her. Like Ellie is still standing behind her, arms wrapping around her waist, fingers tugging at her hips, breath warm on her neck. Her mouth brushing the skin just below her ear, whispering low, asking if she wants her to stop.
God. How did she ever tell her to stop?
She should have never told her to stop."
A slow burn, Dina-centric story about how love lingers, and whether it can ever find its way back home through the wreckage it leaves behind.

Summary
Dina is a rising star with a carefully managed image and a stalker who won’t go away. When things escalate, her team brings in private security, and Ellie Williams shows up—ex-military and not at all what Dina expected. She seems like all control and calm. She isn’t. Not when it comes to Dina.
Ellie’s job is simple. Keep Dina safe. Stay professional. Follow a strict moral code.
What follows is a dual POV slow-burn bodyguard romance featuring emotional repression, late-night yearning, and at least one security risk caused by being extremely, painfully gay.

Summary
Ellie’s just trying to get through another editorial shoot in her LA studio—one more afternoon of soft light and clients who want to look effortless on camera. What she doesn’t expect is Dina. Late, radiant, and armed with iced coffees and wicked charm. Dina disarms Ellie from the second she walks in.
As the shoot unfolds—outfit changes, flirty banter, unguarded laughter—something shifts. The lens can’t quite capture what’s building between them: the stolen glances, the gentle touch, the sexual tension.
By the time Dina leaves, Ellie knows exactly what’s happened.
She’s been caught in the flash of something real.

Summary
JJ's eyes are Ellie's favorite thing.
Two deep brown galaxies, always so full of wonder and an immense affection she never deserved.
They'd look up and watch her intently—like she was something so important. Like she held the moon and the stars and his future in her hands.
It's terrifying.
Was terrifying.
She misses his eyes, and how they swam in the sunlight to create a new color. How they sparkled when Dina spoke to him in a way that made him laugh.
She can never get them right on paper. And she tries. And tries.
His laugh used to be so clear in her mind.
~
Ellie returns to Jackson. And shovels the snow in Dina's yard, every day.
