Deacon Blye struggles to leave the shadow of a demanding legacy to create his own. Working himself to the bone, he's now the popular mysterious country star for True Tone Records. Don't be fooled by his suave personality, Deacon likes filth...

When a spanner is thrown in his works quite literally, he needs to rethink his plans and possibly swallow his pride.

Harlowe Nichols is proud of the country music legacy her parents left for her to build on. She's the sensation for her family's Nickel Records & Publishing. But to be fair, shining in their shadow can be daunting. 

Fans and haters alike have named her, 'Music City's Sweetheart', not really caring if she truly has any talent. Harlowe is determined to forge a path for herself.

The filth mentioned earlier, could stick and blemish both their images. What happens when the Mystery Man and the Sweetheart collide?

Chasing Legacy is entered in the Open Novella Contest 2023. I'll use Prompt 44 (with a dash of Prompt  25 & 51, maybe...).

"That's it, baby," he continues, his tone almost soothing, despite the filth spilling from his lips. "Take my cock. Take all of it." Baby. My belly flutters, my heart soaring like a fool even though I know it's a runaway utterance. A thoughtless spill of the moment's intensity. I shut my eyes against the word, as if the action will shield my chest from its impact. Or my pussy. "You like that?" he asks, his voice a low rumble. "You like it when I fuck you hard? When I make you feel like the dirty little slut you are?" I can't even respond, my throat is too constricted, my lungs too empty. His words are like a knife, slicing through me, making me feel even more exposed and vulnerable than I already am. "Say it," he demands, his thrusts becoming even more punishing. "Tell me you're a dirty little slut." "I'm a dirty little slut," I sob, the words torn from my throat. I can't believe I'm saying them, but they feel true. "That's right," he growls, his breath hot against my ear. "You're MY dirty little slut. And you're going to come for me again, aren't you?" *** MORALLY GREY meets GREY'S ANATOMY meets FIFTY SHADES OF GREY... 24-year-old Ramona Lisa Gallo seems to finally be back on track to a normal life...while cruising the financial struggle bus.

But when she unexpectedly finds herself under the care of young, renowned oncologist, Dexter Frost, she can't convince herself she isn't dreaming. With eyes as cold as his name, Frost is handsome beyond belief. Accomplished beyond his years. And the medical textbook definition of a "Dreamy Knightmare".

HONESTLY by sunnybirch

Nicky Peters sets out on an emotional roller coaster when she creates a melody from an old high school journal entry which develops into her debut song for her second album. Her personal and professional life become quickly complicated when she finds herself standing in front of the one person she thought she'd never see again, the same person who unfortunately understands all too well who Nicky's hit song is really about...him. ******** Nicky Peters' rise to fame in country music was fast, being plucked out of obscurity at seventeen after her YouTube videos went viral. After she pens a very personal song from one of her old high school journals called, "Honestly," for her much-anticipated second album, she realizes her feelings will be under a microscope for the whole world to see, including Nate Stanton, her ex-best friend from childhood. He also just happens to be the one person who truly understands the meaning behind her heart-wrenching song. What happens when fate brings her face-to-face with the boy she thought she'd never see again? Nicky quickly realizes airing her emotions out in public via a number-one, hit song can make things complicated fast. As Nate and Nicky reconnect and navigate through their past, truths are revealed, assumptions are at an all-time high, and a publicity nightmare looms which jeopardizes all she's worked so hard for. While Nicky's misfortunes add up, she realizes fame comes with a price. She begins to understand the cold, hard facts, keeping her career intact as country's "it" girl and maintaining a personal life may be more difficult than it sounds, especially when you're living through a public scandal.
