She races horses she isn't supposed to ride, climbs trees in Sunday dresses, and has never once managed to hold her tongue when she ought to. Ma calls her spirited. Pa calls her fearless. Laura calls her impossible. When Little Puma arrives in her life, Josephine is determined to prove she's just as quick, just as wild, and just as stubborn as he is. Their days become a whirlwind of races through the prairie, harmless mischief, and arguments that somehow always end in laughter. But autumn never lasts forever. As the prairie changes and the world grows less forgiving, Josephine discovers that the bravest thing she'll ever do isn't outrunning a storm - it's standing beside the boy everyone else expects her to leave behind. A coming-of-age story about scraped knees, fierce hearts, and a love as untamed as the prairie itself.

After the death of their mother, 18 year old Clara Harrison and her three brothers leave everything they know behind to build a new life on the Kansas prairie. Clara has always understood horses better than people. She is stubborn, hardheaded, and far too quick to defend herself when someone tries to make her feel small. While her older brother Samuel believes it is time for Clara to settle down and find a husband, her brother Jesse reminds her of the freedom she secretly longs for. And when the world becomes too heavy, it is her youngest brother Eli who reminds her that she doesn't always have to be strong. Then she meets Little Puma. He is fiercely protective of his people and the land they call home, and he has little love for the settlers who continue to spread across the prairie. Clara should be someone he keeps his distance from. Instead, he finds himself drawn to the stubborn young woman who seems to fall down as often as she gets back up. Some things are easier to tame than others. And love was never meant to be.

Mihoni is about to marry Little Puma, an Osage warrior, though she never really had a say in choosing her husband. But what does she know about him? His hatred for the settlers nearby who have encroached on their land should have warned her to keep her distance. But Mihoni doesn't exactly like being told what to do.

He was everything she had been taught to fear. She was everything he had been taught to distrust. They were never meant to meet. Never meant to understand one another. And certainly never meant to fall in love. But beneath endless skies, beside quiet rivers and in a village that slowly became home, two hearts found each other despite a world determined to keep them apart. Because sometimes the greatest act of courage isn't surviving a war... It's loving the person history tells you should be your enemy. ≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾ "Tell me I'm still just a settler." "...I can't." "Takoda, please." His jaw tightened. "I stopped seeing a settler a long time ago." "...Then what do you see?" His voice almost broke. "...The woman I'm terrified I'll have to lose."

The prairie has always been simple-hard work, quiet evenings, and the certainty that tomorrow will look much like today. At eighteen, Laura has become the heart of her family. With her father away working on the railroad, an injured mother confined to bed, and a younger sister relying on her, duty leaves little room for anything else. Everything changes the evening she finds a wounded stranger beneath an old oak tree. His face is covered in crimson war paint. His body burns with fever. Mistaking her for another pale-faced enemy, he whispers a single word before losing consciousness. Laura should leave him behind. Instead, she hides him in her family's barn. As the young Osage warrior known as Little Puma slowly recovers, a fragile secret begins to grow between them. Bound by fear, silence, and deeply rooted prejudice, they must learn whether mercy can overcome hatred-and whether two hearts from different worlds can ever find a place to belong. Notes: This is an aged-up AU based on Netflix's Little House on the Prairie. Laura is 18, Little Puma is 22, and this story takes place in an alternate timeline where Charles is away working on the railroad. With her mother bedridden and her younger sister to look after, Laura has taken on the responsibility of running the household. From this point on, the story follows its own original path.

"Stay away from his kind." Those were the words Priscilla Astor's father always taught her. As the pastor's daughter, seventeen-year-old Cillia is expected to follow the rules, look after her younger brother, and fit in with her settler friends. But when a chance meeting at the river brings her face-to-face with Little Puma, a forbidden spark ignites between them. Caught between her strict family, her true friendship with an Osage girl named Niabi, and a love her community forbids, Cillia must choose between expectations and her heart.

At just a few months old, Myra was stolen in the dead of night; torn from her father, her brothers, and her twin. Escaping the orphanage, surviving the streets, and blind to the people that 'saved' her, Myra didn't just endure. Myra clawed her way out, and she burned everything in her wake to ashes. Seventeen years later, she's not just alive. She's powerful. Dangerous. Untouchable. Myra built her empire from the blood she's bled, the blood she's spilled, and secrets she'd kill to protect. It's not just her identity she's concealing - it's the cracks. She's back. But she's not the little sister they imagined. Can she keep everything hidden when a twist of fate drops her into the lap of her so-called family?

Valeria Black-Moretti was born into power. The first daughter of the legendary Moretti family in generations, she was loved by her seven older brothers and protected by the most feared Italian mafia dynasty in the world. As a child, Valeria was sunshine-fearless, mischievous, and impossible to resist. Until, at four years old, she was kidnapped by her family's enemies. Taken by the Russian mafia, she lost her childhood and was forced into a world of darkness. Years of pain and brutal training transformed her into something no one expected. At thirteen, she escaped. She destroyed the empire that tried to control her and built her own from the ashes. The world learned a new name: Diavola. Now seventeen, Valeria Black is the deadliest assassin alive, an undefeated street racer, a genius hacker, and the queen of the underworld. With her piercing green eyes, cold expression, and unstoppable ambition, she rules through fear and loyalty. She owns Valentiano Weapons, Valentiano Jewelry, and Valentiano Motors, three of the most powerful companies in the world. To everyone else, she is a mystery. To the underworld, she is a queen. But to the Moretti family, she is the daughter they lost. For thirteen years, Carlos Moretti and his seven sons searched for their missing princess. They never knew she survived. They never knew the little girl they lost became the woman the world fears. Until one day, they meet a girl named Valeria Black. A girl with their blood. A girl with their eyes. A girl who doesn't know she is a Moretti. Because Valeria Black-Moretti is not a victim. She is Diavola. And she is the storm.
