One shared night. One shared song. A million emotions.
After what she felt to have been the best night of her life, country music star, Clarke King wakes up, alone and confused. She had had her suspicions about pop star Avalon Kennedy, but after the night they had shared together, Clarke was ready to put her apprehension aside.
That is until the other girl ghosts her and steals the song they had written together. Devastated and hurt, Clarke heads back to her hometown of Opal Springs, Texas, where she plans to put all memory of Avalon and that night behind her. Which seems like an easy task, until the girl who caused so much inner turmoil lands on Clarke's front door.
Avalon Kennedy has hardly ever had to work for anything she's ever wanted in life. As the daughter of a former Victoria's Secret Angel and Hollywood's favorite movie director, Avalon enjoys the life the title "nepo baby" gives her. When her interest is piqued by the sweet and seemingly harmless, Clarke King, at a music convention, Avalon is eager to learn more about her.
One thing leads to a bad decision and Avalon is failing at trying to find ways to clean up her mess. When the only option left is for her to fly to the middle of nowhere Texas, Avalon straps on her biggest cowboy hat and braces herself for the Texas heat and the temperamental blonde who seems to be able to hold a grudge for longer than three months.

Country Girl at Heart
After being caught, tried and arrested for a crime she didn't do; Lexi Hunter has a choice. It's either Juvie or spend the summer on her dad's ranch working off her probation. Should be an easy pick, right? Only problem is, she hasn't seen or spoken to her dad in ten years. The last time she saw him was through a car window as her mom drove them and all their possessions away to go live a normal, busy, eccentric lifestyle in New York. So basically, being back at a place she used to call home with a man she can't muster the respect for to actually call 'dad', is a prison sentence in itself. Lexi is determined to hate and ridicule everything about her situation. Wanting nothing more than to get the summer over with so she can go back to real life. That all changes when she meets Dawson Priest; the ranch hand who she is forced to work side by side with. His optimistic, simple, almost eloquent outlook on life, the world, and the small town ranch life in general sparks her to see things from his perspective and may even challenge her enough to mend the strained relationship with her dad. This is a story of self discovery, personal growth, a steamy cowboy fling, and learning the importance of forgiveness. This simple, small town life may not seem as much of a jail sentence by the end of the summer. Who knows, maybe Lexi turns out to be a country girl at heart after all.Complete
Not All It's Cracked Up To Be
"You just kept lying, kept deceiving me." "That was never the goal, but-" "Intentions don't matter when the outcome carries the same devastation, Clarke. What was the endgame here? The exposure you'd get from taking my pictures or better yet, being pictured by my side? Money? Is that what you want?" Born as Alexandria Evergreen, but known to the world as ALEX. Alexandria's story is as familiar as can be in many ways. A classic small-town girl with a big dream to become a famous singer. Just another kid who found fame too young, got everything she ever wanted, and turned into a diva because of it. The millionth girl who let fame go to her head and clearly thinks herself better than others because of the number of followers on her social media page. The one everyone either wants to be or wants to be with. Right? But not everything is as it seems and maybe being known and adored by millions isn't all it's cracked up to be. It can't be, because if it were, wouldn't it feel different? Once again I will be putting trigger warnings below, and I will add to the list as new potential triggers become relevant to the story. Always feel free to let me know if I have missed any. TW: Strong language, drug and alcohol abuse, sexual content, panic attacks, mental, emotional, and physical abuse, rehab.Complete

Across the city, Lexa Woodson, cold, powerful, and emotionally locked down, chalks the one-night stand up to another mistake. Until Clarke shows up again... as one of her employees.
