Grace Octavia 
Something She Can Feel 

For a woman with her future all mapped out, life’s about to go in a whole new direction. . .



Tuscaloosa, Alabama, may not be glamorous, but for Journey Cash, the small Southern town has always been enough. She has a loving husband, a great family, and she brings the house down at church with her beautiful, thunderous singing voice. But Journey wonders if her years as an obedient preacher’s daughter have kept her from living the life she is meant to live. . .



When Dame, one of her former students, comes to visit after striking it big as a rap star, Journey gets a taste of the fast-lane life that has passed her by. Dame is exciting, unpredictable, and sexy, and Journey is ready to trade in her seemingly perfect existence to simply feel one thing that’s real. Soon, she finds herself running from everything in her world into the arms of Dame—and the ride of her life. . .
