Southern Charm by anj6232

Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations. While others her age are embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!

Such a Fun Age by H0pelesss_Romantic

•It was so beautiful, my life was so beautiful at this moment. I could hear the music playing below me in the distance and these ugly yellow tunnel lights around me really were so blindingly beautiful against the city scape in the distance and here I am crying but mostly, I was crying because I was suddenly very aware of the fact that it was me standing up in that tunnel with the wind over my face. Not caring if I fell or went flying. Not even thinking about it. Because I was standing in the tunnel. And I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite. "We are all Infinite!" I yelled to my friends, myself and the whole world outside my body. To let them know they couldn't take away my teen spirit from me, to know that I was more than a single little girl in a small town in Cali, I was the entirety of the vast universe in a whole, I am Infinite. • ℘ ℘ ℘ Such a Fun Age follows Chloe's mind as she, along with her friends, go through their teenage experiences of sex, drugs, friendships, love, identity and trauma as they work against circumstances, and people, that defy their goals in life. This story shines light upon issues faced by the younger generation at "such a fun age" and how life really is like for the kids today in this modern day and age.

The journey by KuSaKa_019899

"'Alex?', I shyly asked. 'Hmm?' I didn't even know what exactly I wanted to ask. 'So, uhm... Did you... uh... Was it...' 'It hurt. It still does. Losing someone dear is never easy. You'll learn to deal with the pain, but it will stick to you like a scar. Good memories make it easier though. They make you smile through the pain.' I looked at him surprised. I still didn't know what I had wanted to know in the first place, but I felt that I just had gotten the answer to it." After her mum died, Lorena just wants to get away. In a hurried departure with her friends she takes on an adventure that helps her get her feet back on the ground and take on life again.

Saving Grace by allie7

"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?
