Ivy Morgan was raised by master conmen. As Arthur's younger half-sister and a core member of the Van der Linde gang, she's lived her life by the gun, the bottle, and a fierce, unshakable loyalty to the only family she's ever known. But when the gang's world begins to crumble under the weight of the law and Dutch's spiraling ambition, Ivy finds herself caught in a crossfire of secrets and lies. Her heart has always belonged to John Marston, a man as haunted as the hills they roam. But when a devastating betrayal shatters her trust, Ivy is forced to question everything: her home, her future, and the man she thought she knew. While the Pinkertons close in and the bodies of fallen friends pile up, a personal war erupts within the camp, Ivy must decide if she's willing to burn with the family that raised her-or if she's strong enough to forge a new path in a world that's outgrown outlaws. All characters (minus Ivy Morgan and Caroline Addams) and storyline are based on the story from the Red Dead Redemption games from Rockstar Games. This is just a fun Fanfiction! I just write because it brings me joy. If you don't like the idea of John not being with Abigail, this isn't the story for you. **THIS STORY IS FOR MATURE READERS (18+) ONLY! ** ALL THE TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!
