Loving Jude (Raven Ridge Universe)

Before Raven Ridge became a place of lies and loss, Jude Jones believed in music, independence… and keeping her heart guarded.

Achilles’ Bar and Lounge in Honey Creek is her refuge.
The stage is where she feels safe.

Charles Xavier, a wealthy businessman from Raven Ridge, never meant to notice her—until her voice cuts through years of loneliness and a marriage that exists only for appearances. What begins as conversation becomes connection, and connection becomes something neither of them planned for… or can easily walk away from.

But some choices echo far beyond the moment they’re made.

Loving Jude is a sensual, emotionally charged prequel about desire born in secrecy, the cost of longing, and the love that shapes everything that follows.
