Where Strawberry Wine began, and future stories unfold.
Strawberry Wine, by A.J. Rose
One summer in Oklahoma changed everything…
Among overgrown strawberry rows and fading sunsets, Magnolia Harper meets Jesse Turner—a man who sees past her mother’s sins and into the woman she’s fighting to become.
What begins as friendship ripens into something tender and forbidden, as intoxicating and bittersweet as the strawberry wine her grandmother once made.
But when the season fades and the sun rises, Magnolia is left to wonder—Is first love truly bittersweet and green on the vine…or can it last through time?
A story of love, forgiveness, and the memories that linger long after the taste of Strawberry Wine.
Let That Pony Run, by A.J. Rose
Katherine Kincaid has spent her life becoming exactly who everyone needed her to be: the perfect wife, the dutiful daughter, the woman who learned to take up less space so everyone else could breathe easier.
But when whispers turn sharp and the life she built begins to crack, Katherine retreats to the only place that ever truly felt like home.
Then she meets a man who refuses to let her hide.
He challenges her silence, strips away the careful distance she keeps between herself and the world, and awakens something reckless and undeniable in its place.
Some loves ask you to stay quiet.
Others ask you to Let That Pony Run.
Sunlit Whispers Yet to Be Shared
Walkaway Joe, by A.J. Rose
Callie Hayes thought loving Jace Reid meant nothing could go wrong.
So when he asks her to leave West Texas behind and head east with him, she climbs into his truck without looking back. Endless highways, cheap motels, promises about apartments and forever—it all feels dangerously close to the life she always wanted.
Until she wakes up alone in a roadside motel in Winona, Texas.
Stranded in East Texas with almost no money left to her name, Callie is forced to rebuild herself in a town that was never supposed to matter. But Winona notices everything, especially Cole Bennett—the quiet mechanic across the street who sees far more than Callie wants anyone to.
Because some men leave wreckage behind them.
And some men become the reason you finally stop waiting for your Walkaway Joe.
