Summary
Dearest Gentle Reader,
It would seem that the Queen's latest diamond is no ordinary debutante. A beauty with wit enough to match, she has already caught the eye of London's most eligible bachelors - dukes, lords, and even princes. Yet society gasps not at her suitors of title, but at one man bold enough to steal a dance beneath the Queen's gaze and, scandalously, to send orchids to her very door.
A soldier.
Captain John Price, recently returned to London, strides into the ton with no pedigree and no patience for its games. And yet, he may prove the only man bold enough to win the diamond's heart.
Will this Season end in triumph, or ruin? That, dear reader, is a tale I shall delight in telling.
Yours most devotedly,
Lady WhistledownBookmarked by BellarkePrincess

Summary
Ghost has made a career of going where the Army tells him to, and he has never made much of a big deal about any of his assignments. At least, not until he's assigned to play glorified babysitter to the CEO of one of the largest firms on Wall Street - you.
You don't want a bodyguard (and find the whole concept of the 6'5" man standing in front of you rather ridiculous), but after an assassination attempt, it seems you don't have much choice in the matter. Neither of you can deny that there's an attraction there, but Ghost must balance his attraction with your open hostility to his presence, while unraveling the mystery behind the threats surrounding you before he runs out of time...

Summary
The two of you weren't meant to be anything more than passing presences in each other's lives – the quiet neighbour you would nod to in the hall with a mysterious background and an equally mystifying present life, the two of you seemingly living very different and opposing lives.
But from a blossoming friendship with late-night texts and quiet evenings where you learn more and more about each other, your begin lives intertwined in an inseparable rhythm. As the months go by, could this quiet, stoic stranger let himself be completely vulnerable with somebody for the first time in his life?

Summary
After wrecking the Razor Crest and nearly getting stranded on a freezing planet with giant insects, then limping to Trask and wasting credits on “repairs” that barely held the ship together, Mando does not want a repeat. Remembering a pesky albeit skilled mechanic apprenticing under Peli Motto, he reluctantly puts an offer on the table:
Keep the Crest functioning in emergency scenarios without getting in his way — or on his nerves — and the pay will be better than what you make on Tatooine, which is functionally just tips.
Inspired by “Tree Among Shrubs” by Men I Trust
So only one hand may rest it’s palm upon my cheek
The only one that I’ll need
to know why no one asked about your secret past
The pain to match your strength
And now I believe that no one thought
you had a lonely pastBookmarked by BellarkePrincess

Summary
You snort, trying to sound casual but missing by a mile. “Yeah? I’m the eldest medic on base. Seniority means a shitload of nights like this — tired, cranky, and done.”
Price’s smile fades, his tone dropping to that rare, serious edge that makes you shut up fast. “I don’t want sweet, you hear me?”
You blink. “Pardon?”
He leans forward, voice low and sharp, “What I need… s’not sugar and sunshine. It’s the grit, the edge—a real woman who doesn't take shit from anyone-not even me. That’s the part that matters.”
You open your mouth to protest — to say something clever or to shove the moment away — but the words freeze. His eyes are locked on yours, steady and unblinking.
“Understand?” he says, voice rough but no longer angry.
Your heart thumps like a drumbeat in a quiet room. Your mouth works, slow and unsure.
“Yes, Captain.”
Or:
You're a grumpy medic, and your Captain, who is just as grumpy, starts to be around you more and more, and it's hard to ignore, and easy to like.
