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’d been told your thirties were when everything would fall into place. But your thirtieth birthday finds you looking for answers at the bottom of a whiskey glass; recently let go from your lackluster job, fresh out of a tumultuous relationship, and more than a little bit cynical about what the future may hold. Then a friend offers you the opportunity of a lifetime – an all-expense-paid retreat to a ranch in Wyoming. There’s just one catch. And his name is Joel Miller.
------------------------------------------------
Cowboy!Joel AU. Fake relationship - you need to pretend to be Joel’s fiancée so he can get the sheep ranch of his dreams. You know the drill.

Summary
On a cold winter's day in the early morning hours, you knock on your neighbor Captain John Price's door to make a noise complaint. You don't know much about him; only that he's a soldier in the SAS, and gone more often than he's home. You don't expect to like him as much as you do—or that he might share your longing for connection. Together, he and you may just learn how not to be lonely.

Summary
Then the tip of his tongue darts out to wet his lower lip as he sits up a little—and maybe Yor’s eyes linger on his mouth just a second longer than necessary, but she can’t help it.
And when he speaks next, his voice comes out low, making Yor feel warm all over. “I never got your name.”
Her eyes light up, her breath hitching in her chest—
Right.
“…It’s Yor.”
The smile on his face grows, idly but courteous, as if he just discovered some treasure, causing his dimple to grow more prominent. “Yor.”
He repeats it, saying her name, rolling it on his tongue, and tasting it, making it sound like chocolate velvet silk. It has Yor feeling just a bit flushed in the face.

Summary
You get your bearings in a split second. The street is well lit, unusually so, because—
Because for the first time, the plain house has its porch light on. And there’s a man sitting in the rocking chair, smoking.
Like a glutton you drink in every detail that you can absorb in the three seconds of polite onlooking that you’ve allotted yourself. He’s f***ing huge, like the most enormous man you've ever seen, and he’s definitely watching you. With the light coming from over his shoulder his face is just darkness and you can’t see anything else, and it’s infuriating that it’s all you get before you have to turn your head away.

Summary
You're great at repression. Fantastic, even! You've spent so much time tamping down any difficult emotion or impulse you could write the book on it. And you were perfectly content to continue doing so when a crush on an old man reared its ugly head. Unfortunately for you, something is about to give, and you'll need to venture into the terrifying waters of emotional expression if you're going to get through it.
Or you could just ignore it and pretend everything's fine. That works too.

His name was Stan, and while his mullet wasn't exactly the peak of glamor, you couldn't lie and say it wasn't quite convenient to hold onto when he worked his tongue between your thighs. And he had his tongue between your thighs quite a lot.
