Good food, good music and good company are the ingredients for an unforgettable night at Maxi’s Place. The atmosphere is comfortable, with a healthy share of regular patrons. If only the customers knew what happened in the background of this bustling restaurant – drama, deceit and maybe a little love.
Ava Russell plays by all the rules – in life, love and career. Unfortunately, she keeps running into people who take an unfair advantage in the game of love. After landing a hostess job at Maxi’s Place, Ava is determined to focus on college and everything else came second, including romance.
Bailey Thompson believes rules are made to be broken, especially when it came to love. Her night job of saxophonist at Maxi’s Place left plenty of time for practicing the other art she was known for – breaking hearts. Even though she was warned by the owner, Cole Washington, to stay away from the new hostess, Bailey can’t pass up a possible conquest.
Fighting her intuition, Ava is drawn to Bailey’s magnetism and obvious bad boi demeanor. Will she listen to her head or tumble down a familiar road yet again?
A native Texan, Literary Stud discovered her passion for writing at an early age. In elementary school, she penned a serial story on leftover school paper, stored in old folders with the title written on the front. Born between the analog and digital ages, Literary Stud remembers her first typewriter and desktop computer but prefers to hand-write rough drafts in college-ruled notebooks.
Reading and writing are constant companions and Literary Stud often curled with a book from her mother’s bookshelf while sitting in a tree in the front yard. However, she didn’t discover Lesbian fiction until her early twenties – right around the time she bounded out of the closet. She enjoyed the tales of sapphic entanglements but could only relate to half the content. She resolved to write the books she wanted to read. Her books feature Lesbians of Color belonging to the masculine/feminine spectrum and the issues affecting those dynamics.
Literary Stud lives in Fort Worth, Texas, with her wife and extremely spoiled fur baby.
