Country Heart, City Sparkle

Book excerpt: When Wyatt, a shy and reserved country boy, leaves his family's farm to chase new opportunities in the bustling city, he finds himself faced with more than just culture shock. Raised in a conservative community, Wyatt struggles to find his place in a world that feels so different from the one he left behind. But everything changes when he meets Marcus, his vibrant new roommate who lives a double life—by day, a successful finance professional, by night, the captivating drag queen known as Lady Lush. As Marcus introduces Wyatt to the colorful and exhilarating LGBTQ+ scene, Wyatt must confront the deep-rooted fears that have kept him from fully accepting himself. Their unlikely friendship blossoms into something deeper as Marcus helps Wyatt navigate his journey of self-discovery, slowly drawing him out of his shell and helping him see the beauty in embracing who he truly is. Together, they experience the joy of first love, the vulnerability of opening up, and the courage it takes to be unapologetically oneself. From late nights in city clubs to heartfelt conversations that break down walls, Wyatt and Marcus find a love that bridges their two seemingly different worlds. But even as their bond grows stronger, Wyatt must face his past and the challenges of family acceptance, proving that true love—and true acceptance—starts from within. Country Heart, City Sparkle is a heartwarming, powerful tale of love, self-acceptance, and the magic that happens when two worlds collide. Perfect for readers who love stories about embracing one's identity, finding love in unexpected places, and the joy of building a life that's authentically yours.
