FIRST CHAPTER OF SARALAND, A NEW NOVEL BY GL WILLIAMS.

Amanda Jane Rush didn't plan to become a New York Socialite.
But here she was, owner of a beauty and fashion boutique, living in a cute, cozy bachelorette pad that was the envy of her friends and sharing life with her lovable dog.
But when an unexpected letter arrives, she finds herself summoned back to a place she fought hard to forget, and to the family she abandoned a long time ago. 
Amanda grew up in a small town on the outskirts of Mobile. She was the youngest daughter of six, born into a life she was desperate to escape. Music would become her way out.
With a dream scholarship to NYU, she left Alabama behind for the chance at something greater. 
But once in New York, an internship with a fashion start-up would cause her to set aside her guitar and her notebooks full of her own music for a life that promised glamour and glitz. 
For Amanda, going home would mean reopening old wounds, uncovering scandalous secrets and confronting the past in a journey to face the one thing she can never run away from.

In Saraland, you can never escape your destiny, even when you try to make your own way.

Southern Charm by anj6232
26 parts Complete Mature
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!

"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here. I love the fact that it's realistic and focuses on things that really hinder human interaction, perceptions and stereotypes." - yurfavegal "just gets better and better. How are all your characters 3D! Like this writing is so beautiful" - CrazyStarChick "Reading it for the second time, and the book still brings a smile to my face 😆" - grumpymood "She's practically Carter's twin 😂😂" - Guardian_21 #1 Breakingcliches #1 Arrogant #6 in Teen Romance

The CEO's Second Chance

29 parts Complete

Ryan Clarke needs to shed his reputation as an irresponsible playboy if he wants to be appointed the CEO of his family's multi-billion dollar empire. He needs a serious girlfriend as part of his image rehabilitation. The only problem- he does not have any prospects. Except one. A chance encounter reunites Ryan with his high school best friend, Sara Morgan. Although she and Ryan shared a connection in the past, Sara feared she would never fit into his glamorous world. Growing up in a working-class home, Sara attended Ryan's private school on a merit scholarship. A decade later, Sara is a social worker for the same program that aided her as a teen. She cares about helping people- not wealth or privilege. When Ryan offers Sara a donation to her at-risk youth program in exchange for posing as his girlfriend, she accepts the deal despite her reluctance to get too close to Ryan again. They must work together to maintain their charade, all the while fighting their growing feelings for each other. Will their pretend relationship prove they are too different to be together? Or is it the second chance at love they needed all along?
