The Heart of Dixie Wardens Rejects
The series kicks off with Beard Mode (2017), introducing Aaron ‘don’t call me Fatbaby’ Sims, a scarred ex-firefighter seeking a fresh start after a betrayal.

Fear the Beard (2017) follows Tally, a single mom and nursing student, and Tommy, a doctor and MC member, in a forbidden romance that risks everything. Son of a Beard (2017) brings Truth and Verity together at their exes’ wedding, sparking a hilarious yet heartfelt love story. Finally, For the Love of Beard (2017) wraps up with Tobias, a patient hero, helping Audrey overcome her traumatic past.
At its core, the series explores themes of redemption, resilience, and the healing power of love.
