Beneath the Stars
Alina Carson’s childhood friendship with Chase Adams blossoms into something deeper as they grow from kids to young teens in Sugarlake. The spark between them remains strong even as Chase’s sister makes their romance feel off-limits, testing trust and patience. This opening novel sets up a tender, slow-burn romance anchored in memory, shared history, and the ache of wanting what cannot be asked for.

Beneath the Stands
Eli Carson, once hailed as Sugarlake’s basketball prodigy, leaves his hometown after an injury derails his career.
