HTX- A Novel

Now Available

A story about unraveling, addiction, love, and the complicated process of finding yourself again—set among Houston’s young, wealthy elite, where image is everything and losing yourself comes easy.

💫 About the Book

At twenty-three, Emily Parker thought she had a plan: follow her college boyfriend Nate to Houston, land a teaching job, and finally get the ring she’d been quietly waiting for. But when the relationship implodes, Emily is left with a new city, no clear path, and a growing ache she can’t quite name.

Enter a world of curated perfection—where money talks, secrets fester, and no one ever admits they’re falling apart. As Emily slips deeper into Houston’s glossy social scene, she loses more than just her sense of direction—she loses herself.

Caught between the girl she used to be and the woman she’s becoming, Emily must learn what it means to want something more than just belonging.

HTX is a sharp, emotionally layered debut about identity, heartbreak, and the quiet strength it takes to begin again.
