HIGHEST RANKED #1 IN CHICKLIT.
After a high-profile divorce from her NFL-star husband, Sadie Melvin just wants one thing: a fresh start. She's fleeing the spotlight, the drama, and men. Small-town Arkansas, crumbling Victorian, solo renovation. It should be simple.
It isn't.
Electrical disasters, mice infestations, and a never-ending to-do list have Sadie leaning on Finn Weston, the steady, irresistible contractor with a past as complicated as her own. What begins as reluctant reliance soon sparks into something neither of them can deny. Finn doesn't just see her. He chooses her in a way no one ever has.
But Sadie isn't who he thinks she is.
She's also Alabama DuBois, a name tied to a past that collides directly with Finn's history in Magnolia.
When the truth comes out, and her alter-ego is revealed, will Finn still want her?
Slow-burning, addictive, and full of heart, this is a story about love, trust, and taking a leap on the one person worth the risk.

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!
