Single mom Grace Mason doesn't believe in miracles, magic, or love at first sight. She likes the quiet life, complete with her eight-year-old son, their tiny house, and her teaching job. For Grace, happiness means that nothing much ever changes in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
Then, one thousand miles away, tragedy strikes. A massive heart attack leaves Grace's estranged father comatose in an Upstate New York hospital. While a team of doctors fight to keep Henry Mason alive, Grace and Evan rush to his bedside to say their final goodbyes.
Henry's passing brings little closure for Grace, but she finds herself inexplicably drawn to her new surroundings. What begins as a short trip results in an entire summer spent with Henry's second wife, Kathleen, and her next-door neighbor, Ryan Gordon, the town doctor. When a series of unlikely events lead to Evan's disappearance, Grace must face her worst fears to find her son and bring him back home.
Stardust Summer explores the complexities of forgiveness, what it means to be a family, and the fabulous possibility of falling in love—again.

To the Stars and Back

As the summer approaches, Atlas finds a job so that she can go to the University of Louisiana to get away from her dad.

But she doesn't want it to. Atlas tries everything she can to stop their personal connection. Will she be able to face her reality or will she feel trapped forever? ••• disclaimer concerning my newfound imposter syndrome: •Everything from Atlas's name to the plot being similar to novels written by Colleen Hoover are entirely coincidental.

Southern Charm
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!

For My Own Good
-------------------- I gasp for air, twisting in his hold. My heart beats in my chest, between my legs. Urging to get off. But Henry pulls away from me, carefully studying my face. "You look so pretty, all worked up because of me." I feel heat flushing through me, making my hips twitch again. -------------------- For My Own Good Olivia Kent has always been good at running - from her broken home, suffocating memories, and emotions too raw to face. She keeps everyone at a careful distance, hiding the full extent of her pain - even from her best friend Carla. But when Olivia catches golden boy Charlie Bell in a vulnerable moment, it pulls her into an unfamiliar circle of friends who begin to break through her defenses. Then there's Henry, with his piercing grey eyes that see far more than Olivia wants to reveal. She feels immediately and undeniably drawn to him, but opening her heart only makes her realize how tightly she's trapped by the past she's been running from. As her world unravels, Olivia is faced with a difficult decision: stay trapped by fear and guilt, or risk everything for a chance at something better. Sometimes, love isn't enough to save you. Sometimes, it's up to you to find the strength to save yourself. For your own good.

That is, until he meets Parker and discovers the one thing he's terrified to live without: love. Together, Parker and Chase dive headfirst into their whirlwind romance. But seeing as they come from different worlds, the odds are stacked against them in more ways than one. Through the ups and downs of their journey, they learn to navigate the delicate pitfalls of falling in love in the face of a society hellbent on keeping them apart.
