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.

THE CHAIR
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. Once just a bold, beautiful girl with a slick mouth and big dreams, she's now tangled in the very world she tried to outrun - drugs, betrayal, and the kind of pain that turns your heart into stone. After being exposed on social media and thrown to the wolves by the girl she called "sister," Jada hits rock bottom. But rock bottom ain't where her story ends - it's where the real grind begins. 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. It's the truth for too many women.Complete
Love At Lazy Duke's - An enemies to lovers, cowboy romance.
LOVE AT LAZY DUKES is live and ready to steal your heart (and maybe throw a punch or two first). She's a wild barrel racer with fire in her eyes. He's the grumpy cowboy who runs the local bar. Their history? Complicated. Their chemistry? Unavoidable. When Montana rolls back into town, the last thing she wants is trouble-especially not the kind that looks like Abe Duke. But sparks fly, tempers flare, and love might just be the biggest rodeo of them all. If you love small towns, slow burns, banter that bites, and cowboys who fall hard, this one's for you. She came back to town to race barrels-not fall into bed with the grumpy cowboy who broke her heart. Montana's wild, whip-smart, and impossible to ignore. Abe's broody, built like sin, and owns the one bar she swore she'd never step foot in again. Too bad sparks fly hotter than a summer bonfire the second they're in the same room. Enemies? Absolutely. Lovers? Eventually. Trouble? Oh, definitely. Dirty looks turn to dirty thoughts in this steamy small-town standoff. He's all grit. She's all fire. Together? They're combustible. Grab your boots and bring a fan-you're gonna need it. This story will be on Galatea in September. And no longer available in full here on Wattpad.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
