A Blue Note by Katrina Jackson

Pauletta is a new PhD in History with a brilliant mind and academic scars she’s struggling to hide. In the summer after her tense graduation, she has a prestigious postdoctoral fellowship meant to prepare her to find a tenure track job she’s not even sure she wants. Instead of stacking her CV, Pauletta only wants to immerse in the history of her people.
1930s New York
Paule Campbell was born with Jazz in her veins. Her love of music took her from a rural town in Georgia all the way to New York in the throes of the Harlem Renaissance, a place where she could finally be herself — a fat, masculine, lesbian trumpet player with big dreams and a bigger heart. Soon after her arrival, she makes the intimate acquaintance of Amy Delphine, another Southern transplant pinning her dreams on art to escape the realities of Jim Crow.
--
During an all too short summer in the archives, Pauletta traces Paule and Amy’s tender love story through Paule’s letters home and Amy’s poetry and journals, unwittingly finding the courage to accept her own pain without being defined by it and open her heart to a life and love she was too afraid to hope could be hers.

Him hiring a private chef is part of his attempt to get his life back under control.

Family secrets buried for decades are finally clawing their way to the surface. And the promise that tied their families together is still hanging over their heads.

Protecting the family was my primary objective. Then she wrote to me and protecting her is my only purpose.
She’s worth waiting for. And I’ve done that long before her soft words on lavender-scented paper made the nights easier to survive. She was my obsession before I had even caught her attention.
Before I had ever touched her.
Her letters started as a distraction. A reminder that outside these bars, concrete walls and bloody promises for revenge, there is still something soft enough to touch without destroying it.
Now, I’m out and she’s better than I could have imagined.
Beautiful. Intelligent. Cunning.
Way too good to drift closer to the family I’ve spent years trying to protect her from.
She is already in danger and it’s my fault—even when I swore to myself that I’d stay away to maintain her safety.
The second she takes on a new client, she unknowingly ties herself to the woman responsible for my imprisonment. I warn her in the only way I know how.
I slip into her office. Into her house. Into every corner of her life she keeps pretending hasn’t been tainted by my family.
She says I’m crossing lines.
The problem is, I know exactly how far I’m willing to go for her.
I should let her go before she gets buried with the rest of us.
Instead, I claim her piece by piece, pushing her to the edge of her restraint until she stops pretending she doesn’t crave the darkness staring back at her.
The deeper I dig into the secrets threatening my family, the more I realize she isn’t collateral damage.
She’s the center of it all.
The woman I thought I was protecting? She might be the key to the family’s future.
She wants to walk on the dark side. She wants the family to accept her.
But I wasn’t patient for all these years just to lose everything I’ve worked towards.
So tell me, Stephanie.
Are you my redemption… or my undoing?

He's teaching her that staying inside the lines is overrated and that sometimes the sweetest victories come from breaking a few rules. After all, why admire the cake when you can have a slice too?
She's introducing him to something far more unfamiliar than danger: consistency. Affection. Vulnerability. The kind of love that doesn't ask him to earn it—just accept it.
But what happens when the woman who lives by the rules falls for the man who's built his life breaking them?
When attraction meets authority... somebody's bound to lose control.
