Unbearable
Summary
"The best relationships are the ones that make it through darkness. The ones where people look at one another and see hurt and say, you're worth it." After attempting to drink away a broken heart, Raven Walker finds herself in the arms of the one man she never thought she'd have. The problem is he happens to be her childhood crush and her brother's best friend. What she assumes will be just a one-night stand turns into so much more. He's strong, confident, loyal, tattooed, and before she knows it, her head and heart are fighting a battle between staying within the boundaries or crossing a line she can never come back from. "That's how Tyler and I began. Secretive and undecided." Tyler Hemming isn't looking for anything but whiskey when he walks into Murphy's Bar. He certainly isn't expecting to find his best friend's little sister drinking away a cheating boyfriend. He's not supposed to want her. It breaks all the rules. But what he finds is an escape. A no-strings attached distraction that allows him to forget and live in the moment. Everything is perfect until he's confronted with life-changing news. ***This story is told in dual POV, has an HEA with no cliffhanger, and can be heard as a standalone. However, I recommend listening to Unsteady, as characters play recurring roles throughout. Warning: Due to mature subject matter, such as explicit sexual situations and coarse language, this story is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18.

Unsteady
Summary
"There's parts of her that were completely untouched until my dirty hands pulled her in, marking her in all the ways she needed." Desperate to find a new mechanic, the last thing Reddington expects is a woman to show up, let alone one with a sinful body, sharp tongue, and the inability to just do her job and not give him lip. He can't deny he's hoping to catch a view of her bent over a hood, but there's not a chance in hell that's going to happen. As much as Red wants to take her for a test drive, he knows he needs to keep his priorities straight. "Have you heard of Newton's third law of motion? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction? It all goes back to one saying. You're able to choose but you're never free from the consequences of your actions. There's no reset, there's no takeback, there's an action, and an outcome." After fleeing from an abusive ex, Lennon hopes the garage bays of Walker Automotive will keep her dark secrets hidden from her past. What she doesn't expect is a sexy, brooding, tattooed boss with an attitude. Neither of them can ignore their attraction as they struggle to make sense of their connection. And what happens next will no doubt be unsteady. "I'm not going to let him hurt you anymore, Lenny. I won't let him anywhere near you."
