Summary
You let out a breath you didn’t even know you were holding. “What are you, some kind of therapist now? Dr Phil?”
“I don’t know who that is and I’m a man who doesn’t like wastin’ time. I got a bunch of other folks lined up to take your spot. So, either you tell me what the hell’s in your head so we can use it or lose it, or we spend another two weeks out here while you learn to shoot around it.”
You're new in Jackson and rifle training is mandatory for all adults. You're eager to help, to prove you can be useful. But it's hard when Joel Miller's your instructor.

Summary
You've been Harry Castillo's personal assistant for five years - making sure everything runs smoothly in his life. You've been there for it all - good and bad - particularly Harry's quest to find that special someone to love and marry. Now he thinks he might have found it in Lucy Mason - his brother's matchmaker.
But you're not convinced. There's something about Lucy that you just can't put your finger on, but which tells you that she's not the one he should be with. But there's only so much that you can say, because you and Harry are not friends. This is a professional business relationship. Deep down, you believe you can give him everything he needs, but you can never tell him because you don't want whatever this is to end.

Little worms that come into my mind, refuse to go away and take me away from my longer stories! I should say that these stories are not meant to link in any way. They’re purely random thoughts so can all be read as standalone works.

Summary
Harry Castillo had it all—money, power, a penthouse with a view. But none of it mattered the moment Lucy, the only woman he ever let his guard down for, left him for a broke ass waiter in a studio apartment with one bathroom. Now, at 54, he’s bitter and convinced that love is just a cruel joke for idiots who don’t know better.
Then—he meets her.
A stranger on the Met steps. Unbothered. Unimpressed. Not fawning over his wealth, not offering him sympathy, not treating him like he’s anyone special.
And for the first time in months, Harry stops thinking about Lucy.
For the first time in years, he wants to stay.
And that? That might just piss him off more than anything else.
But if there’s one thing Harry Castillo never does, it’s walk away from a challenge.
Even if that challenge comes in the form of a woman who seems determined not to give a damn about him.

Summary
Adore promises scientifically perfect matches. You just wanted to try it for fun. You didn’t expect a 98% compatibility score with Harry Castillo, a powerful NYC financier nearly twenty years older, with sharp suits, sharp eyes, and an even sharper tongue.
One disastrous first date ends with wine down his expensive suit. You’re certain that’s the end of it.
Until Adore calls to say he wants a second date.
Now you’re stuck navigating mandatory matchmaker sessions, forced dates, and a man who drives you mad, even as he slowly, infuriatingly, starts to get under your skin.

Summary
She threatened him the first time they met.
Joel Miller, gruff and guarded at 52, wasn’t used to being warned off with a knife to his throat by a 25 year old stable girl with a German shepherd named Willie and a gaze that didn’t flinch.
But after Salt Lake City, after the Fireflies, after everything, Jackson becomes home. And she’s still there. Still wild, still wary. Only now, Joel can’t stop looking.
Loving each other might be the scariest thing they’ve ever done.

The problem is, he's not the only one looking to stake his claim in the tropics. The owner of the island, a family man first and foremost, invites all the bidders to the island for a month long retreat to help him decide which mogul will be crowned the winner. And to make himself look more appealing, Joel hires you to accompany him as his significant other. But it's strictly business... right?
