Practically Perfect
2026
One call can change everything. Kate’s life is practically perfect. She has a thriving career, an amazing best friend, and an incredible fiancé. Then a family accident forces her back to the small town she left over a decade ago. The place that holds some of her fondest memories and her most devastating heartbreaks. Kate now has to balance her high-powered career, planning her dream wedding, and helping her mom recover, all while being apart from her fiancé. The juggling should be simple enough for this type A personality, who loves creating to-do lists and spreadsheets, but every passing day makes her question everything about her so-called perfect life. Including the man she’s supposed to marry. It doesn’t help that he’s back in town—Jake. Her childhood best friend, who abruptly cut Kate out of his life fifteen years ago without explanation. Now Jake expects to waltz back into Kate’s life and have their friendship revert to the way it used to be. Ignoring the heartache he caused when he left to chase his dreams. If only it were that easy. There’s a reckoning coming for Kate and Jake, and neither one will be the same afterward.

Lost in the Neon Lights
2026
Kate didn’t plan on falling in love with her childhood best friend, Jake. She definitely didn’t imagine being thrust into the spotlight. But that’s her new reality because Jake also happens to be country music star, Chase Elliott. When news of their relationship goes public, Kate and Jake are thrown into the proverbial deep end. Every aspect of Kate’s life is suddenly under a microscope. And everyone has an opinion on whether she’s good enough to be on Jake’s arm. The scrutiny is Kate’s worst nightmare. Jake is determined to protect their relationship at all costs, but he quickly realizes how little control he has. They're faced with major invasions of privacy, significant time apart, and never-ending rumors. With the odds stacked against them, Kate and Jake are about to find out whether true love can conquer all or if, sometimes, love just isn’t enough.
