The Sterling Bay Admirals
Football built the empire. The women behind it know where every secret is buried. Set in a wealthy Southern coastal city where old-money families and famous athletes fight for the same spotlight.
The Franchise Player
Book One · Harper & Beck
She has one rule: never fall for a player. He’s the only headline she can’t manage.
Harper Quinn built her PR career in professional football without a single scandal to her name, and she’s not about to throw it away on a quarterback with a perfect smile and a talent for making the wrong headlines. So when she’s ordered to clean up Beckett Hayes’s image and keep him out of trouble, she treats it like any other job.
Falling for him wasn’t part of the plan.
Beck has spent his whole life believing he’s only worth something when he’s winning. Harper is the first person to see the man behind the number — but falling for her could cost them both everything they’ve built. So they set rules. No one finds out. Either of them can walk away at any time.
But Sterling Bay runs on secrets, and one photograph is about to bring the whole thing crashing down in front of seventy thousand people.
A Southern Soul Romance
Singers, producers, and the people who love them — steamy, emotional love stories set where the music never stops and every heart has a history. Four books. Ambition, betrayal, found family, and the kind of slow burn that earns its happily ever after.
Mississippi Rain
Book One · Lovey & Darius
A voice that could shake the Delta. A producer running from his past. One song neither of them can outrun.
Lovey Campbell is a Jackson bartender with a voice that could shake the Delta — if she ever found the courage to use it. Haunted by her mother’s addiction and her father’s leaving, she’s built her walls so high that even love can’t climb them.
Then Darius Cole walks in: a soulful Atlanta producer running from his own past, chasing something real in Mississippi’s underground music scene. The first time their voices blend, magic happens — and so does trouble.
Because trust doesn’t come easy when you’ve been burned as many times as Lovey has. This is a steamy, soulful, enemies-to-lovers Southern romance about ambition, betrayal, found family, and finally learning to keep a good thing once you have it.
More voices, more heat, more Southern soul.
Honey and Smoke
Lexi & Deon
Music exec Lexi Barnett has three weeks to find a star or lose the career she’s bled for. Then she hears Deon Howard sing in a hole-in-the-wall Houston club — honey and smoke, and everything she’s been missing. But Deon is heir to a Texas cattle empire, with a father who’ll burn it all down before he lets the business claim his son.
After the Encore
Imani & August
Years ago, Imani Carter was the best tour manager in Southern soul — and the only woman who could handle wild, gifted August Hale. One reckless night after a sold-out show changed everything; then August signed his deal, left for Europe, and never knew she was pregnant. Eight years later he’s back, staring at a little girl on stage who sings with his voice.
A Song for Sunday Morning
Camille & Wesley
Camille Brooks is a sharp-suited Atlanta attorney who left her small Georgia town — and its soul music — far behind. Then her grandmother dies and leaves her half of a dying lounge called Sunday Morning. The plan is simple: renovate, flip it, go home. But the other half belongs to Wesley Boone, a widowed former soul singer who runs the place, won’t sell, and looks at her like she’s the worst thing to walk through the door in years. Until one devastating night changes everything.
Every story comes with heat, heart, and a soundtrack of its own.
