Summary
For you, an aerospace engineering professor at the university, life consisted of elegant equations and the sterile silence of a laboratory. That was until Joel Miller arrived—shaking the building to its foundations with the roar of a construction site and a cloud of cedar dust under the scorching Austin sun.

Summary
Separated by miles, years, and the undead, you and your husband have been ghosts in each other’s lives for two decades. The thought of Joel being alive hurt just as much as thinking he was dead. But when a stand-off forces you face-to-face with a familiar man—older, harder, and still devastatingly him—all the pain resurfaces.

A Summer With Mr. Miller by followyourfleart

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
Fresh out of a toxic relationship, you move in to the same apartment building as Clint and his three-year-old daughter. The ex-mob enforcer is nothing like anyone you have ever met before – steady, reliable, and entirely too generous. As you grow accustomed to living on your own for the first time, you find yourself leaning on your new neighbor for support.
Or
Five times you call Clint for “help,” and one time he calls you.

Summary
“No, you don’t get it, you don't understand, ’cause you get to see Ellie every day,” you said, swallowing hard and glancing at his chest. “You have no idea how damn lucky you are. This pain…” You paused, not sure where to put it. “…I don’t know what to do with it.”
“You’re wrong,” Joel whispered. “You don’t have any idea how much I wish I didn’t understand you.”
You should have died that day. Instead, Joel Miller found you.
After the Millers saved your life, you became something of a miracle. Everyone in Jackson knows who you are and how you appeared on the outskirts of town, buried in the snow. And now, you’ve been given a second chance, but the sweetness of your new home is overshadowed by the coldness of one of them: Joel.
Unfortunately for him, Tommy assigns you to work by his side as the assistant he claims he doesn’t need.- Language:
