Redline Hearts
Dane Carter lives his life at full throttle. Guitar in hand, crowds screaming his name, miles of highway blurring beneath tour bus lights - he's built a career on noise, speed, and never standing still long enough to feel anything too deeply. Then he meets Wren Swan. She's grease-stained hands and sharp edges. A mechanic with a Mustang she rebuilt herself. A woman who doesn't care who he is, what band he's in, or how loud the world gets when he walks into a room. She doesn't look at him like a rockstar. She looks at him like trouble. Wren is Damon's little sister. Off-limits. Untouchable. The one person Dane should never want. But some hearts don't follow rules. And some connections feel like impact - fast, violent, inevitable. As late nights in the garage blur into stolen glances, reckless laughter, and a pull neither of them can ignore, Dane realizes something terrifying: Wren doesn't slow him down. She makes him feel alive. But loving her means risking everything - his career, his friendships, and the carefully controlled chaos he's built his life around. And Wren? She's not the kind of girl who lets anyone in unless they're willing to stay. Because when hearts collide at full speed... there's no such thing as a clean break.Complete

A Man of Small Mercy
IF ANYONE ENDS UP READING THIS LMK IF ITS GOOD OR IF I SHOULD CONTINUE IT🙏🙏 He is a man of violence, greed, and cunning, running from the law and the ghosts of his past. Crossing into Louisiana with nothing but a horse, a journal, and the weight of every mistake he's made, he rides through forests and rivers, observing a world that moves steadily while he scrambles for survival. But when he glimpses the lives of the oppressed, the cruelty of a system that treats human beings as property, something stirs in him. Not heroism, not saintly virtue, just a spark of conscience, a thread of honor, a small measure of mercy in a man otherwise shaped by selfishness and fear. In a land where danger lurks behind every tree and every shadow, he must navigate lawmen, bounty hunters, and his own violent instincts to carve a place where he can act on this fragile morality. Slowly, imperfectly, he discovers that even a bad man can choose to do right, that is, if he's willing to risk everything.
