Summary
Dani could handle pressure, thrived on it actually, but the energy in the tunnel was different today- charged, electric, like the pulsating hum of the atmosphere before a storm. It set her nerves alight, sharpened her focus.
And then she felt it. That presence.
Dani didn't have to look to know who it was. She'd felt those eyes on her since the moment they lined up- piercing, assessing, like a predator sizing up prey. Jamie Taylor. Chelsea's veteran defender. Two-time FIFA Best Women's Player. And, if the rumours were to be believed, the most insufferable trash-talker in the league.
They'd last met on the pitch in the Olympics final, were Dani had buried the winning goal in extra time. Jamie hadn't forgotten. Neither had Dani.
A low, rough voice cut through the hum of the tunnel, "Welcome to London, Clayton."
or
Dani Clayton, USWNT's star striker, has just landed in the WSL, ready to prove herself at Arsenal. Jamie Taylor, Chelsea’s ruthless defender, has other plans. From the moment they clash in the tunnel, sparks fly- both the infuriating and dangerously enticing kind.

Summary
Jamie and her gang have been robbing banks for months. They’ve been getting away with it every time without a hitch. But when a pair of new detectives are brought in to take over the case, Jamie has to figure out a way to stay ahead of them at all times.
Dani is one of the best detectives in the country and was brought in to catch a band of thieves. She is a professional and would never let anything distract her from a case this big. Except maybe a charming, beautiful stranger that’s been hand-delivered to her by destiny.

Summary
It's been seven years since former best friends Jamie and Dani graduated high school. Seven years since their friendship fell apart as they parted ways to very different futures. Seven years they've seen each other only when Dani's back in their hometown for Christmas. Only this year, Dani’s recovering from the loss of Eddie and coming to terms with what her life might have been, had she made different choices, and Jamie is faced with some bittersweet choices of her own.

I got fucked up by listening to ‘tis the goddamn season’ too many times and couldn’t get this story out of my head.
OR
I didn't think I could/would ever write angsty smut, but apparently I could and indeed, would.
I was also surprised to learn that this one wanted to be written from Jamie's perspective. So much discovery here, ha!
This was supposed to be a one-shot but I seem incapable of those, and the words just keep coming. Likely just two chapters, with plenty of smutty goodness in the second. [ETA: At least three chapters, dammit.]
Thanks for coming along for the ride.

Summary
Every movie, every book, every story about the horrors of letting in the ghosts has prepared Dani for the constant state of alarm. The panic. The discomfort of the situation.
Not a single goddamn one told her how stupid it would be.
