Faith never planned to break down in the middle of nowhere-let alone in the sweltering heat of a Southern backroad with nothing but a dead phone, a busted tour bus, and a bad attitude. As the frontwoman of a rising rock band, she's used to arenas, flashing lights, and never staying in one place too long. But when a sharp-tongued cowgirl on horseback rides past, everything stops.
Aj is all sun-drenched strength and stubborn charm-taller, steadier, and with a smile that cuts deeper than any lyric Faith's ever written. Their worlds were never meant to cross, but one glance is all it takes to shake Faith to her core.
Haunted by the moment she let slip through her fingers, Faith throws everything into chaos to chase a ghost in denim and dirt roads. But going back means more than just finding Aj-it means facing the woman she's been running from all along.
Leather and Lead is a fierce, slow-burning queer romance about second chances, wild hearts, and the explosive collision of fame and freedom.

One blunt changed everything. Jada trusted the wrong friend and ended up laced, humiliated, and left to rot on the cold back streets like she was nothing.

With nowhere else to go, Jada steps into the strip club - The Chair - where the lights are low, the money's fast, and the rules don't care about your past. On that stage, she learns how to survive again. How to move through shame. How to turn pain into power. But the streets don't let go easy, and neither do the demons that followed her into the club. With only her Grandma Marie's love holding her down and dangerous men circling closer, Jada has to decide: will she rise from the ashes, or will the game pull her under for good? The Chair is a raw, unfiltered ride through addiction, betrayal, sex work, sisterhood, survival, and the strip club hustle. Gritty, real, and unforgettable - this is not a fairy tale.

Then comes Callie Monroe, a top-ranked barrel racer with a sleek look and a city-girl reputation that rubs Hudson the wrong way from the start. She's too polished, too confident, and too good at pretending she doesn't care what people think.

But with both their careers on the line and past wounds refusing to heal, will love be enough to rope in a cowboy who's always ridden solo?Complete

His southern beauty
After getting in trouble for the millionth time, Landon's mother makes the decision to ship him off to Montana to stay with his father for the summer. The thought of spending those long, sweltering days in the middle of nowhere, far from the comforts of city life-complete with relentless heat, annoying bugs, and the occasional wild animal-was far from what Landon had envisioned for his summer break. But as fate would have it, he wasn't prepared for what lay ahead, especially not for meeting Clementine. As Landon steps out of the dinner, he notices a group of boys. And one of them hops off the truck's hood, his mischievous smile lighting up a face. "Looky here, we got us a city boy," he mocks, sizing Landon up with a scrutinizing gaze. Landon feels the defiance sparking within him. "A city boy that can whoop your ass," he retorts, his voice stead. He squares his shoulders. "Guys, leave him alone," a voice cuts through the tension as a dark-skinned beauty jumps out of the truck, her presence commanding the group's attention. Landon's gaze drifts toward her, and he can't help but take her in fully from her slicked-back curly hair to her dusty boots that tell stories of their own. There's a fierce spark in her eyes, as if she can see right through him-confronting any lingering uncertainty he has about being here. He watches her engage with the boys, still keeping an eye on the one that spoke. Suddenly, the summer landscape doesn't feel so indifferent, and the oppressive heat seems a little less daunting. Maybe this summer won't be so bad after all.Complete
the Girl and the Beast
Set against the sun-drenched backdrop of a sprawling Texas ranch in 2018, this story follows Ellie, a ten-year-old girl with a heart full of wonder and a mind that mythifies everything she sees. When her father-a stoic, retired Navy Captain-hires an eighteen-year-old named Caleb Ryder as a ranch hand, Ellie is instantly captivated. To her, Caleb isn't just a worker; he's a living symbol of strength, kindness, and the stories she longs to be part of. Over two years, Ellie's innocent admiration deepens into a quiet, unspoken crush. Caleb becomes a fixture in her world-teaching her small skills, sharing gentle smiles, and unknowingly shaping her understanding of love, respect, and growing up. He never mocks her feelings. He honors them with silence and grace. Then, one morning, Caleb announces he's leaving to join the Navy. In a moment steeped in ritual and legacy, Ellie's father salutes him and gifts him his most treasured possession: a 1990 black Honda CB750, its chrome still gleaming like memory. Caleb accepts the keys with reverence, mounts the bike, and turns to Ellie. He offers her a final smile-a wordless acknowledgment of everything they shared. As the bike roars to life and disappears into the horizon, Ellie stands barefoot in the dust. She doesn't cry. She remembers. Because some stories aren't meant to be held-they're meant to shape you.Complete
