A love spanning two cultures... I have lived on my family's homestead on the prairie all my nineteen years. It is all I have ever known, and it is Indian territory. My father told us that the Indians are savage, ruthless killers akin to wild animals. "They are not human," he said. But I did not feel that way at all. A hidden warrior... I have kept a a secret from my family since I was a little girl. One they cannot know. I made a friend at the creek one afternoon many years ago. An Indian. He was an Oglala Lakota boy who called himself Wakíŋyaŋ Lúta. Red Thunder. But after that chance encounter, he returned to his people. I had never expected to see him again, but one day, I did: as a virile young man, wounded and on the edge of death. And the feelings of friendship I had shared with him blossomed into something more... ~Full version now available on Amazon!!!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LVZ39T3/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= ~Highest Rankings: #1 in "Indigenous," #8 in "Warrior," #1 in "Settlers," #1 in "Colonial," #1 in "Healer" and #1 in "Native." #2 in "Prairie," #42 in Historical Fiction, #6 in "Horses," #460 in Romance, #3 in "Rescue," #1 in "Lakota," #1 in "Sioux."

In a town hidden between mountains and green fields, everyone knows Sawyer Ford. He's the firefighter who never flinches, the cowboy who never stays, the man every girl wants but no one gets to keep. Sawyer lives fast, burns hot, and leaves before anything can touch him. No woman has ever slept in his bed. No one has ever stayed long enough to matter. And that's exactly how he wants it. Until Isla De León arrives. She's new. Quiet. Soft in a way this town isn't used to. Isla comes from a different kind of country - one rooted in family, horses, and kindness that hasn't been hardened yet. She isn't looking for trouble. She isn't looking for him. She just needs a job... and somehow ends up on the one ranch Sawyer swore was the only place that ever felt like home. From the moment their worlds collide, everything begins to crack. Sawyer doesn't understand why she gets under his skin. Isla doesn't understand why he scares her - or why she trusts him anyway. The town watches. Whispers start. Jealousy ignites. Lines are crossed that were never meant to be. Because some people are fire. Some people are shelter. And some loves were never meant to be gentle. Set in a sun-soaked, horse-lined mountain town where everyone knows your name and no secret stays buried, this is a story about obsession, innocence, and the kind of love that demands everything - even from someone who swore he'd never give a thing.

She was Daisy, a captive of war. He was Taabe, a son of the tribe. Fate bound them together... and love refused to let them part. When Daisy's family is destroyed in a bloody raid sparked by years of theft and betrayal, she is the sole survivor-taken captive by a warrior driven by rage. But when he delivers her to his tribe's leader as a claim for marriage, his actions are met with disgust. The leader, seeking to mend what blood has broken, gives Daisy instead to his heir-his young, reluctant son, Taabe. Taabe wants nothing to do with the pale-skinned stranger forced into his life. He vows that when he becomes leader, he will grant her freedom. Yet as the seasons change and survival binds them closer, Daisy's quiet strength and unyielding spirit begin to stir something in his guarded heart. In a land divided by vengeance and tradition, their bond will be tested by jealousy, war, and the heavy weight of duty. But in the end, only love will decide whether they remain prisoners of the past... or forge a future together. *if you liked the movie prey 2022 this story is inspired in Taabe the character from the movie,leading this story a little away from the movie's perspective but maintaining the essence of his character* *This work is written with deep respect for the Indigenous community. Any errors or inaccuracies are unintentional and not meant to offend. I hold Native American culture and history in high regard, and this story is my way of honoring their culture *
