59 parts Complete MatureSmoke Moore didn't come home from the Great War clean.
After surviving the trenches of France, he carved out a name in the dark corners of Chicago-running liquor, gambling with ghosts, and doing whatever it took to stay one step ahead of the law. He finished his business in Chicago, came back wealthier, and bought land to protect his black folks from white control.
He thought he'd left feeling behind.
Until the day she stepped off that train.
Madison Davis. The white girl from across the fence.
As children, he watched her from the cotton rows-her hair catching the sun as she ran barefoot through fields he could never touch. He was just a boy in the dirt. She was a dream behind barbed wire and skin.
Now she's grown. Beautiful. Untouchable.
And standing right in front of him.
In a world still shackled by hate, Smoke is forced to reckon with what stirs in his chest. He doesn't know if it's love, madness, or something worse. All he knows is-if he reaches for her, it could cost them both everything.
Smoke in the Cottonfield is a gritty, Southern noir about a war-scarred Black man caught between survival and longing in Jim Crow Mississippi. It's a story of forbidden love, buried pasts, and the kind of choices that haunt a man long after the smoke clears.
