[2025 Wattys Shortlist] After getting cut off by her wealthy, business-obsessed parents, Emily Grayson finds herself broke, stranded in a small town, and working at a boba café, something she never imagined in her wildest dreams. Her first days on the job are a disaster, her patience (and Jake Sherlind's) running thinner than the tapioca pearls she keeps burning. Jake, the charming yet hardworking guy with big dreams, has no patience for entitled rich girls who don't know how to hold a job. But when Emily starts proving him wrong, their tension brews into something neither of them expected. Between spilled drinks, late-night confessions, and an orange stray cat that won't leave the back door, Emily begins to wonder... maybe losing everything was exactly what she needed to find herself. A small-town rom-com about growth, second chances, and love that's better steeped with time.

Rhett Carter was once country music's brightest star-until the fame, whiskey, and bad choices brought him to his knees. At 36, he's a shadow of his former self, lost in a haze of regret and struggling to stay relevant. His manager, Corey, refuses to give up on him, pushing him to return to the studio for a shot at redemption. But there's a catch: Corey wants him to record a duet with Callie Monroe, Nashville's next big thing. The only problem? Rhett doesn't do duets. He's not here to share the spotlight with anyone-not even the talented, driven 26-year-old who's turning heads across the country music scene. When their worlds collide in the recording studio, sparks fly-just not the good kind. Rhett's grumpy, jaded attitude and Callie's ambitious fire make for one hell of a clash. But when their song hits number one, the tabloids get it all wrong: they're convinced the two are more than just a duet. With their song climbing the charts and the world watching, Corey pushes them to play the game-pretend to date, perform together, and keep the fire alive. But what starts as a fake relationship soon blurs the lines between hate and something much deeper. As Rhett and Callie fight their undeniable chemistry, they'll have to decide if they can fake love long enough to keep their careers afloat-or if the spark between them is more real than they ever expected.. This is a standalone romance set within The TDX Series - a collection of interconnected love stories based in the world of Nashville's most iconic record label. This is Book One if you're reading in series order.

Cowgirl Oxford defines cowgirl as "a woman who herds and tends cattle, performing much of her work on horseback". Codi Dalton and Chayni Anderson would agree to this definition, but will argue that it is missing a few pieces to it. Cowgirls aren't just cattlemen. They're daughters, grandaughters, sisters, reliable friends, and loyal partners. They're tougher than nails, more honest than a photograph, gentler than a mother's touch, and prettier than a Wyoming sky. Exactly why cowboys, Jesse Reeves and Weston James, just can't seem to leave these two wild-hearted cowgirls alone. ******************* This story will include both Chayni and Codi's story, so two stories in one book! Hope y'all enjoy these bad ass girls as much as I do!
