    Summary

    Avez-vous déjà vécu ce moment où vous appuyez, confiant, sur "épisode suivant", seulement pour découvrir qu'il n'en reste plus?
    Alors, au début, vous enfilez votre cape d'adulte mûr et réfléchi et vous vous persuadez que pourrez gérer ça. Mais la réalité vous rattrape...*fond musical dramatique*

    Summary

    A while back, Elizabeth Boland (you can call her Beth) got elected as a councilor of the city of Detroit. Then she got shot in the shoulder.

    Annie Marks, Beth’s sister, got arrested by the police for a crime she didn't commit. It all ended in an unbearable cliffhanger and Annie was left to rot in prison while the camera did a slow-mo zoom out of the city of Detroit. There wasn’t a sunset, though, which was a shame.

    A bit further from there, Ruby and Stan Hill packed their suitcases, determined to leave town and never look back. With one decided hand, Ruby zipped her suitcase and gazed at the horizon through the window.

    The following will focus on what took place afterwards.

    Summary

    “Well it’s come to my attention that my husband may have made certain arrangements with you and your friends,” Beth says, her thumb lifting to play with her wedding bands, a nervous habit she’d never been able to break, before remembering they were now tucked away in her jewelry box at home.

    The man lets out a breathy chuckle. “You ain’t gettin’ more time if that’s what this is about.”

    “No, actually I have a business proposition for you,” Beth replies, squaring her shoulders at the man’s unamused expression. “Let me work off his debt to you.”

    or

    In a desperate move to save Boland Motors Dean makes a deal with Rio, but when he can't pay back his debt Beth is forced to make an unexpected offer to save her family.

    Summary

    Charlotte Marks had no free time. From studying for med school, working her rounds for clinical, and the occasional babysitting her sisters sprung on her, she was all booked up. But none of that stopped her from aiding her sister and their best friends to rob a grocery store. She could have never guessed those couple of minutes would be enough to change her life forever or that it would lead to her meeting the man that would catalyze that shift.

    Summary

    Rio, Beth, and Mick show us snapshots of their lives. Rio and Beth reflect on how they're at odds and how they're dealing with the changes being at odds have brought down on their lives. Mick is a great character, but he doesn't have much of a back story on the show. I gave him one. A good one where he falls in love with Rio's sister. Go back and read my old stories for the tea. If not, you can just start from here. Every body needs love, even guys like Mick.

    This is in the same universe with the same characters from my series, Kingmaker. I've been away from writing for quite a while. It felt good to analyze and give voices to the characters again. As life happens to writers, artists, and people in general, we revisit the past and come to a deeper understanding of things.

    Summary

    Beth is a recent 40 something divorcee working at a bakery, balancing raising four children and dealing with a ex-husband that destroyed her self esteem and left her in severe financial debt. Her sister, Annie and her sister’s son Ben are living with her after Annie is down on her luck.

    Annie has the idea of giving Beth a makeover after drawing inspiration from Toulas transformation from the movie, ' My Big Fat Greek Wedding' to impress her new Client, Rio who owns several local restaurants and is both handsome, mysterious and maybe dangerous.

    Beth gains the confidence she lost after her divorce from her cheating Ex-husband, Dean; then attracts the attention of both Rio and his politician cousin, Nick.
    Rio seems determined to be closer to Beth but Nick is just as determined to keep Rio away from Beth. To make matters worse, Rio's ex-girlfriend Dylan is making Beth's life hell as she gets closer to Rio.

    Will Beth find new love along with her newly found confidence?

    Will Beth and Rio make a romantic connection despite those who are hell bent on keeping them apart?

    Summary

    When Rio Reyes agreed to give Dean Boland a high interest, high risk, and high reward (for Rio) loan, he gifted himself thirty days to make the owner of Boland Motors absolutely miserable. Then, he met Mrs. Boland, and he realized he must have been a very good boy that year, because he also gave himself thirty days to seduce away Boland's wife. Merry Christmas to him indeed!

    Summary

    She doesn’t know how she got here and when this all happened, but Bethania is officially confused and would like to get off this ride, please and thanks…

    Bethania offering to babysit as a recommendation, for an honestly, hot as all living fuck couple that just screams and breathes “TROUBLE” was dangerous in of itself; but she needed the money and decided being paid $100 an hour was worth it for babysitting five kids. For her it would be a walk in the park, she’s got experience. What happens though when she’s requested to do more babysitting for the same trouble couple. Plus said couple seems to also enjoy her presence, even the scary, hot guy, which speaks volumes.

    The pressure is on when business and pleasure seem to mix, plus awkward encounters with her past (ex. Exes popping up and family drama). Yeah like fore mentioned up above, she really doesn’t know how she got here, but help would be much appreciated.

     

    *Diverging from canon. This happens after 2x08: they got together, she has the kids, divorced Dean and they're being bosses together, with a blended family. Happiness all around. I'm trying to go my own way right here. Hope you enjoy.

    Summary

    Since season 4 ended without the chance to explore the relationship we all tuned in for, I tried to write my own ending. It's made of three stories who are connected but also individual stories. Basically, lots of sex, Dean and Nick being assholes, and Annie being hilarious. And again, lots of sex, and feelings too.

    Part 3 is almost done

    Summary

    ...Then, it finally occurred to her and she felt a bit stupid for not asking it first.

    The most important question she should have asked before any others. Well, she could blame it on all the blood around her, painting everything red.

    “Who owns this warehouse, Turner?”

    Beth put a strand of strawberry blond hair behind her ear in a nervous tick, crossing her arms in a protective manner, as if she could protect herself from the reaction his words would cause her.

    He looked straight into her eyes.

    “Christopher Rio Hernández”
    ---

    Blacklist/Soulmate AU where Beth is an FBI interrogator and Rio is a rich entrepreneur with too much money and very suspicious ties with the criminal world. When he becomes the target of a psychotic criminal in town, destiny makes them finally meet.

    Summary

    There came a point in every professional athlete's career when his or her body started to let them down. It might not be an injury necessarily, but age is the ultimate equalizer. No matter how talented, how skilled, how disciplined, Father Time catches up to everyone. Rio Salazar might not be there quite yet, but he feels retirement nipping at his heels. So, he has his agent/lawyer start setting up local advertisement gigs for him, and he continues to invest in new business opportunities. Rio's expectation is that he's readying himself for the next phase of his life; what he doesn't expect is to completely turn his life upside down and inside out, but that's exactly what happens when he agrees to star in a commercial for Boland Motors. Stepping onto that lot, not only does the asshole owner's wife catch his eye, but she also catches his interest. And she doesn't let go.
