Exfling Stories

When 22‑year‑old June MoonCliffe graduates from Vanderbilt with dreams of becoming a music star, she never expects to be pulled back to her small hometown of Sweetwater, Texas. But when her grandfather is seriously injured in a ranch accident, June returns home to help the grandparents who raised her - and to face the past she left behind. Greylan James, the rugged ranch hand who's worked at MoonCliffe Ranch since he was fifteen, has spent years trying to forget the girl who disappeared after their one unforgettable night together. Now June is back, and every buried feeling threatens to break through his carefully built walls. As June reconnects with old friends and tries to balance ranch responsibilities with a new opportunity in Nashville, she and Greylan are forced into each other's orbit again and again. Tension turns to sparks, sparks turn to fire, and both must confront the hurt, longing, and unfinished business between them. But when June's music dreams collide with her family obligations - and Greylan's fear of being abandoned again - the two must decide whether love is worth the risk, or if their hearts belong to different worlds. Where My Heart Knows is a slow-burn, second-chance, small-town romance about roots, dreams, and the courage it takes to choose the life - and the love - that truly feels like home.

Natasha "Phoenix" Trace can handle pressure. She's flown through fire, faced the best pilots in the Navy, and held her own every step of the way.

Maybe... her almost. With lives on the line and her heart caught in the crossfire, Phoenix must choose between flying solo and finally letting someone in. This is Top Gun: Maverick in Phoenix's POV.
