First seen on Wattpad, Sweet Southern Trouble has been published, and this is only a sample of the story, from the unedited version.

When the truth comes out...it usually comes out of Becky O'Shea's mouth. 
     And when her dying grandmother sends her on a wild-goose chase for the truth about the O'Shea heritage, Blabbermouth Becky finds herself knee-deep in a small town with enough scandals, gossip and sickening apple pies to keep her entertained while she investigates her own mystery. But with any great quest, there is usually a man or two standing in the way. 
     As the small town's police chief, Nick Harris typically spends his days playing cupid to bickering old couples and chaperoning bored teenagers. Then Becky O'Shea pops into his station, smelling like fresh-baked cookies, and suddenly he is overrun with problems. 
     Becky just wants to honor her grandmother's memory. Nick wants her out of town as soon as possible. However, long-buried secrets have a way of coming back to life...resurrecting old love stories and creating new ones.All Rights Reserved

Reader discretion advised. EXCERPT: As he leaned over with his arms folded, resting on the table, I took a second to admire the way his slightly messy hair fell in front of his face and the back of his black jeans hugged his ass. He glanced up at me, knowing I'd been staring at him, and I felt my face heat up. "I'm going to give you fifteen minutes to grab a bag with some spare clothing, your toothbrush, and whatever necessities. Then we're leaving," Joey ordered. He walked back into the living room and plopped down on the couch, tapping his foot impatiently. "If I go with you-" "When you go with me," he corrected. "You will not take your phone or computer because they can be tracked. And now you have fourteen minutes."

The Dream Before the Dark ✓ by falling-into-you

Chicago, IL. January 1992. When Jenny Adler shows up to her first day at a new job, she hopes it can be as simple as it is on paper - a few short months of doing paperwork and answering phone calls before she moves on to the next thing. It was never supposed to be anything more than a mere stepping stone, never meant to be significant. But no matter how fast she runs, the past clings to her like a shadow and having to constantly see the woman she wants to forget forces her to confront the uncomfortable truths she's been trying so hard to ignore. Meanwhile, a new friendly face slowly coaxes her into opening up and for the very first time, she starts to believe that humans aren't as inherently broken as she thought them to be. What she intended to be just a tiny blot of ink on the pages of her life ushers in the beginning of a brand new chapter and makes her challenge her beliefs about what it means to be a woman in a man's world, if love truly can be found in the most unexpected and darkest places, and what to do when you realize that you've turned into the very thing you swore you'd never become. Their future was a tragedy waiting to be written, a tale of endings that came too soon after beginnings. But there was a life before the dark, a life so full and hopeful it later felt like but a dream. »»----------«« ♡ featured in @NA's general + historical fic reading list ♡ »»----------«« ♡ Started: May 17th, 2021 ♡ Completed: October 31st, 2021
