Anyone would say social media influencer, Alabama DuBois has the perfect life. She's married to famous Los Angeles Rams tight-end Mark DuBois and has been in the spotlight as a football wife for the last nine years and living large.  

No one would guess Alabama DuBois is actually Sadie Melvin from Magnolia, Arkansas, who ran away from her small town with Mark nine years ago. When Sadie discovers her estranged grandmother has left her a worn-down Victorian house back in Magnolia, she decides it's her perfect opportunity to start over after uncovering an ugly truth about her husband. Sadie decides to move back to Magnolia incognito to fix up her grandmother's house while she figures out what her next chapter in life will look like. Sadie quickly realizes the house needs more work than she bargained for and the small town she left behind still holds secrets she's not ready to face. 

Finn Weston, a local contractor who went through his own divorce, is determined to help the hot mess who came crashing into his town with the fixer-upper. After their paths continue to cross, Sadie reluctantly accepts Finn's help not expecting sparks to fly. 

As the house progresses, Finn realizes he wants Sadie to stay in Magnolia, but Sadie is convinced small-town living isn't for her. She also is reluctant to reveal her other life to Finn after she discovers Mark and Finn have an ugly history. 

Will Sadie be able to stay in Magnolia after everyone discovers her connection to Mark DuBois? Or will she ruin things with Finn before the house is even ready to sell?All Rights Reserved

Southern Charm by anj6232

Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations for a twenty-four-year-old. While others her age might be in college or 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!
