Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?

Whiskey Ridge Hearts
BWWM ROMANCE BOOK The moment Avery James stepped off the Greyhound bus and into Whiskey Ridge, she knew she was in a different world. Dust kicked up from her boots with every step.

Her heels wobbled on the gravel as she pulled her suitcase behind her, already regretting the fashion choice. A few townsfolk gave her polite but curious looks-like they didn't see many Black women around here in tailored city blazers. She clutched the paper in her hand: "Now Hiring - Ranch Hand/Office Help. Must be good with animals. Inquire at Red Oak Ranch. Ask for Colton." She had no clue who Colton was. But she had nowhere else to go.Complete
