Born and raised in the hollers of Red Creek, West Virginia, Gavin Maddox learned early that life don't hand you nothin' but dirt and hard lessons. Raised by a working-class family in a town nobody remembers until hunting season, Gavin grew up chasing something bigger than the mountain line.
He was the quiet kid with a short fuse, the one who stood up when others backed down - but being strong wasn't always enough. Tragedy carved its name into him, and somewhere between heartbreak and growing pains, Gavin learned to shut the world out.
At eighteen, he left the mountains behind and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps - chasing purpose, discipline, and a clean break. What he found was war, brotherhood, and a fire that never truly went out.
This is the beginning of Gavin Maddox.
Before the code. Before the collar.
Before the legacy.

Southern Charm
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations. While others her age are embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!

Lucien (Razorback MC Book 1)[Full series on Novelcat]
Growing up in a military household I only had my brother to depend on. Father was always out for months at a time, and mommy dearest would rather do anything else than to be a real mother. So, I took care of my little brother. I made sure he had food and school lunch and just about anything he needed. And when I turned 17, got my first job, I started to get him things he wanted. I got him a game system, I got him books and a laptop. I took care of him. Then he turned into a Marine jar head just like our father. But he was still my little brother. But since he was in the Middle East... I had no one. No friends, no family, and certainly no love. Until I come across a moody biker hottie, Lucien, that apparently can't seem to leave me alone. All I had meant to do was talk up the babe in the damn coffee shop. She was always here. Always making the coffee. Never actually talking to the people. Then came the gun and the threats. I stepped up, I took the asshat down. But not before he called the owner, Jackie, by name, trying to kill her. It wasn't a robbery, it was a targeted kill. Was my damn luck that the honey I wanted to get to know turned out to be the owner that had a gun in her face, and for some reason, I had a feeling that it wasn't the first time she had one pointed at her. Bastard got away after she decided to hit him over the head and missed and hit me. So now... I am her very personal body guard. NOW AVAILABLE ON KINDLE/AMAZON NEW SERIES WILL BE WRITTEN ON HERE...
