In the sweltering summer of 1961 Atlanta, when Grace slips the noose of small-town propriety into a sold-out concert, her life careens out of its safe orbit. What begins as a reckless brush with stardom becomes something deeper, laced with heartache and ferocious devotion that neither party can outrun.
From the dusty back roads of Georgia to the neon glare of Vegas's brightest stages, Grace and Elvis barrel through a world of glitter and grit, chased by gossip columns, relentless paparazzi, and the ever-watchful eye of his iron-willed manager.
Their grand cross country misadventure is a wild, desperate gamble against the very machine that made him King- but the house always wins.
Two lost souls. One last ride. The kind of love story that always ends in flames.
Lush with Southern heat and crackling with the music of a bygone era, BLACK VELVET is an unforgettable tale of luck, longing, and just how far you'd chase the dream of a lifetime. Perfect for readers who crave the smoky allure of classic rock 'n' roll and the slow-burn intensity of star-crossed love.

Captured Hearts │✔
Behind the lens, she found the man behind the fame. Luna Johnson, a sharp-tongued photographer with a knack for sarcasm, lands the opportunity of a lifetime: documenting the international tour of Off the Record, one of the world's biggest rock bands. A lifelong fan of their music-until she meets their infuriatingly smug lead singer, Kai Steele, in an apartment in Monaco. From the moment their paths cross, sparks fly in all the wrong ways. Luna sees Kai as the epitome of everything she loathes: arrogant, reckless, and all too aware of his charm. Kai, however, finds her unshakable wit and refusal to fall for his irresistibly intriguing. Their first meeting sets the tone for what becomes a constant battle of wills, their sharp banter and fiery chemistry impossible to ignore. For Luna, Kai is a maddening contradiction: both infuriating and captivating. For Kai, Luna is the first person to challenge him in years and the one who might just break through his carefully constructed walls. As they clash, collide, and ultimately connect, they learn that love doesn't come without scars.

Vegas Hotel: The Female Bellhop
You have seen Elvis with every girl you can think of from the twenty-six Elvis stories I have written. This time, Elvis falls in love with someone vastly younger than him. This may not come as too much of a surprise, since he loved younger women and even dated a girl half his age near the end of his life. I just wanted to take my own spin of this idea. It is 1974, and Elvis is busy doing shows in Vegas. He is still in a bit of a slump because of his divorce with Priscilla the year before, and, for the first time in his life, he doesn't want to have anything to do with romance. He just tries to stay busy. Well, all is thrown off-kilter when he happens to see a young bellhop at the hotel he's living and working in being mistreated. Of course, he will have none of that. Turns out the lad is a young woman, to his surprise, as her blonde hair escapes her bellhop hat. This blonde beauty looks no older than twenty-one, but... well, we all know how much Cupid loves toying with Elvis. And this girl, who happens to not be much of a fan of Elvis, is shocked when she starts feeling something for a man nearly twice her age! Well, of course, a girl can't help herself when a man wants to protect her. Cover photo and other pictures used in the story are courtesy of AI generation. (Boy, do I love AI!

Nick| ✔️
When he caught me with him, all colors from my face were drained. His midnights eyes were starring daggers at me. Hurt was evident in his eyes. I stood up, frozen. What really scared me was his eyes. They were telling me his real feelings, then they went away. His eyes were blank. He turned away from us and started walking away. "Nick! It's not what you think it is! Please, wait up!" I held my dress and ran towards him. He was fast, every step he took, I had to take twice as more. When I could finally almost reach him, I yelled, "Nick! WAIT UP!" He turned so fast, making me stumble. He was gritting his teeth. "How dare you keep this from me." He deadpanned. There was no emotion in his voice. "Nick, you don't understand." I try grabbing for his hand but he moved it. "You know what? I told you every single thing that happened in my life. I gladly proclaim my love for you. Just how can you do that?!" He shouted. "I was taught to love a women at all cost." I stayed silent, not looking up to him. "Is it because you don't t-trust me?" He said, sounding so hurt, so betrayed. When I didn't say anything, he nodded. "Noted. I guess, I got my answer." He turned back and walked the other way without another glance at me. (Ok ok..

Elvis Beauty and the Beast
Elvis is one of the most famous men in the world, and pretty much everyone loves him for his fame. He has always said that he wouldn't let the fame get to his head. Well, it does, very much so. The love of his fans is like a drug to him. He wants to do whatever he can to make them happy. And the women... they love being involved with a very famous man. Even his girlfriend Priscilla is his fan, maybe his biggest fan. Something needs to be done about all of this. In 1965, Elvis sees a very interesting young woman wearing all black and has black hair and heavy makeup. The young woman, whose name is Ignis, claims to be an enchantress. She shakes her head at Elvis and tells him that the fame has gone to his head, and people only love him because he's famous. If he can find someone who will love and accept him for him and not his fame, other than his family and friends, his fame will not be taken away from him permanently. The spell is put on him, and he has the whole summer--June 21st to September 21st--to find someone who loves him for him, and they have to tell him so, too. And a twist made by Ignis: he has to love and accept this person for who they are as well. Sam's father is the main groundskeeper for Graceland, Elvis's house. She's less than thrilled when her father asks her to work there. Her previous job treated her horribly, and others in general pick on her because she doesn't have a lot of fashion sense, and she's not much to look at. People had even called her "beast" at times and "outcast." She hates the idea of being around the famous and beautiful Elvis Presley. Maybe she will just steer clear of him the whole time she's there.Complete
