Summary
World renowned pianist Agatha Harkness likes structure, precision, and a well-placed musical note.
Rockstar Rio Vidal leads one of the most popular rock bands today -- The Coven. Rio is chaos wrapped in leather, tattoos and guitar strings. Literally everything Agatha hates when it comes to music. After all, rock doesn't have the elegance and structure and beauty of classical music.
Their worlds collide when Rio’s teenage daughter starts taking piano lessons from Agatha, while Agatha’s starstruck 10-year-old son latches onto Rio like a groupie.

Summary
Agatha Harkness had always been a woman of precision. She built her life on neatly constructed foundations: lectures prepared weeks in advance, research that left no room for uncertainty, and a quiet home where she and her eight-year-old son, Nicky, lived in their own steady rhythm.
But all it took was a single second—one lapse in control—for everything to shatter.OR:
Agatha is a Neurology professor at Northwestern. Rio is a paramedic. Rio saves Agatha’s life. Rio also happens to be starting her second year of med school.
Agatha can’t stop thinking about the paramedic. Agatha is fucked.

"There was a tangible, real way to save him from a very dark path, and she felt like she couldn't just sit back and do nothing. Lucy had already failed one sibling; she'd be damned if she failed the other."

Summary
“Do not,” Agatha said to herself from her spot in the media booth, “you absolutely do not need to defend your honor against-”
Rio dropped her gloves.
“God fucking damn it.”
The Sharks’ forward had barely gotten her own gloves off before Rio’s fist connected with her jaw. The crowd erupted.
“I am going to kill her,” Agatha announced to no one in particular, already mentally drafting press releases. “Should’ve kept managing curling teams. Nobody ever gets punched in curling.”
OR: Gently feral hockey star Rio and long-suffering publicist Agatha who definitely doesn’t get paid enough for this shit

Summary
“I don’t believe you. You prefer me—“
“Compliant?” Rio stood slowly, her eyes never leaving Agatha’s face. The action put her inches away, her body heat radiating out, searing Agatha’s skin. “Obedient?”
Agatha’s hips shifted against her will, her lips parting slightly. She closed her eyes against the heady mortification that razed through her chest. She felt Rio move closer and she parted her legs without thought.
Rio stepped between them but didn’t touch, hands settling on the desk inches from Agatha’s hips and hands.
“You always were such a brat.” Rio’s breath was hot against Agatha’s ear, her voice throaty and raw and filthy. “You never knew how to do what you were told.”
Or: After five years away, a still-grieving Agatha is dragged back into the FBI and the arms of her ex-wife.

Summary
In the week since the bonfire incident (which she was absolutely not thinking about), she’d run into Rio approximately seventeen times.
Not that she was counting.
There was Tuesday, when Agatha had taken Nicholas to his first surf lesson. Rio had been teaching the advanced class, wetsuit clinging to her like a second skin, and Agatha had absolutely not watched her demonstrate proper form on the beach.
(“Your coffee’s getting cold,” Wanda had said smugly.
“Shit.”
“And you’re drooling a little.”)
OR: Agatha has a mid-life crisis and bails for LA. That’s what people did, right? Terrible breakup, mid-life crisis, pack up your sixteen-year-old kid and move to California. Completely reasonable sequence of events.
Then start sleeping with the hot surfing instructor, royally fuck up keeping it casual, and try your damndest not to fall in love. Less reasonable sequence of events. But whatever.

Summary
“It’s been three seconds and I can already tell that hiring you was a mistake,” Agatha informs her, “Why don’t we start your leaving paperwork now?”
“You know.” Rio takes another, unnecessary sip of her lukewarm coffee, “Most people might say ‘Hey Rio, welcome to your new job, your ass looks great in those pants, let me show you where the fire exits are’.”
---
In the same week that she starts work as her ex-wife's bodyguard, Rio is hired to murder her.
