The number of STABBING SHOOTING pains women randomly just get in a given day and shrug off would cripple men.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. Itβs always a matter of will not resources.
I knooooow! Unfortunately itβs kinda nice and relaxingπ
I fear they were correct; waking up early to write is actually quite nice
Mood board for Sage owenβs untitled Christmas romance novel. Includes a dark haired woman, a man in a cowboy hat, snowy small town countryside scenes, a holiday market, a piano and acoustic guitar, a woman cuddling a golden retriever, and a close up of a man and a womanβa hands loosely entwined.
An excerpt from a sage owen romance WIP, text as follows: "Need a jump?" he guessed out the window. If it was much more than that he wouldn't be much help. A face peered around the hood, squinting in his headlights. Well then. "Lark? It's Billy." Relief gave her the softest expression she'd showed him yet. She came around to his driver's side. How long had she been out here alone? She looked half-frozen. "Hi. My battery's dead, I think." "I've got cables. Want me to take a look?" "Thanks. I'm... hopeless about cars." He folded awkwardly into her driver's seat and tried to start the little car. It didn't make a sound. He dug around behind his seat for jumper cables and after a few minutes with the cars connected he tried her Toyota again. She was shifting from foot to foot, shivering, wasn't dressed for a prolonged stand about in the weather. "Go on and sit in the truck, why don't you?

I can drop you someplace and we can deal with it tomorrow, or I'll wait with you for a tow." "We?" she sounded skeptical. "Not to presume but I work the opening shift at the nearest auto parts store, so I'm probably who you'll need to see for a new battery, unless you take it to a shop and give a middle man the privilege." "Unbelievable." She hissed under her breath. He stepped back, didn't want to loom over her. Lark closed her eyes, tipped her head toward the ceiling, drew in a slow purposeful breath. Then she straightened and nodded. "Alright. Let me get my things." So he closed her hood and his, then held the passenger door for her. She gave him a look. "Are you kidding?" "No ma'am." He grinned, and maybe it was a little rude to needle her when she was a
Lark is at rock bottom. Betrayed, career in ruins, lying to everyone she lovesβ¦ and the holiday market sheβs working keeps running her into a man who smiles like heβs never met a problem.

Dean likes men. So does his girlfriend.
Finding a man they both like? Surprisingly easy.
Keeping Dean in the closet when their new man lives with someone in his acting class? One night canβt hurt.
But one night isnβt enough, and secrets have a way of getting out.
