Joel Miller doesn't belong in the city, but he's here anyway, working, raising his daughter, and keeping to himself. He's a man built for fixing things, not people. But when new ties start pulling him in, he's forced to confront what he's been avoiding: the life still waiting for him.

You come home from campus unannounced one weekend and catch your dad's friend Joel in bed with your stepmother. You haven't decided what to do with all this power, but Joel may have plans of his own for how to keep you quiet. Meanwhile, he stops sleeping with her. Try as you might, you can't stop thinking about the eyeful of him you saw that night, or the way he reacted when he saw you standing there.

on the official wattpad page's reading list for black stories📖📚 She escaped her past in stilettos. He brought her back in boots. Gianna Sinclair built a glamorous life in Los Angeles-designer clothes, celebrity clients, and a reputation that sparkled as bright as the Hollywood sign. But beneath the polish lies a past she buried long ago in Prairie View, Texas-a sleepy town filled with dusty roads, painful memories, and a little sister she left behind. When her grandmother passes, Gianna is forced to return home for the first time in years. There, Gini-hurt, angry, and grieving-greets her with sharp words and deeper wounds. One explosive argument later, Gianna storms off, intent on leaving Prairie View for good. But fate as other plans. Only one wrong turn lands herself stranded on the backroads of open fields. Where she meets Weston Reid. Rugged. Quiet. Cowboy to the bone. Weston isn't looking for trouble, but trouble sure looks good in designer heels and ruined curls. He saves her. She challenges him. And as Gianna's glamorous world crashes into his rugged one, sparks fly hotter than the Southern sun. But love in Prairie View isn't simple. There are secrets buried deeper than the Texas clay. And Gianna will have to decide if she's willing to trade fame and fashion... for a second chance, a hometown healing-and the kind of love that doesn't give a damn about headlines.
