i'll love you forever (short story)

second book to forever (discontinued)

"Everybody Lies" My name is Jessalyn Stratton. I've been riding the rodeo circuit since I was seventeen. Now, I'm a twenty-six year old wash-out, a has-been with a fake knee who's never really dated and never had a boyfriend. Then I stumbled across a personal ad on the Internet. Zack Boudreaux is a twenty-seven year old single dad living and working on his family's ranch in Texas. He's looking for the woman of his dreams and thinks he might have found it in me. I should be riding off into the sunset, living my Happily Ever After. Except after months of emailing each other and sharing secrets I'd never told a living soul, I still had one last secret to tell. Opening up to Zack was easy. Telling the truth could change everything. Warning: this story contains a mail-order bride, sort of, a couple of secret babies (or 3), lots of hot cowboys and (a butt-ton of family) drama.

Storms come when you least expect them to, and I didn't see this coming. Not in the form of Trent, a night a huge storm hits our city and we are locked in our flat together. Playing a game of truth or dare to keep our minds from what is going on outside till one dare turns into something we both have been denying each other. Can one night change our feelings to more than just roommates? Or will it turn to a storm, not like what is outside. All I can do is hold on for dear life and see where this takes us. ***NOT EDITED, FIRST DRAFT*** ***MATURE CONTENT***

When Manhattan socialite Noa Campbell escapes an arranged marriage, she doesn't expect to end up stranded in a dusty Texas town. But a broken-down bus and a meddling diner owner lead her straight into the path of Hunter Knight-a brooding billionaire rancher with a proposition as bold as it is bizarre: marry him in name only to help him land a career-defining business deal. Desperate for protection and freedom from her controlling family, Noa agrees to the fake marriage. But what begins as a business arrangement quickly spirals into something far more dangerous-feelings neither of them planned for. As family secrets, corporate threats, and sizzling chemistry collide, Noa and Hunter must decide whether their fake marriage is strong enough to become something real. Full of charm, heart, and slow-burn heat, Hearts in the Heart of Texas is a small-town romance with big emotions, high stakes, and a love that just might rewrite both their destinies.

Cheyenne Maddox has always been a wildfire in boots - stubborn, sharp-tongued, and too damn proud to let anyone tame her. At seventeen, she had a secret crush on the one boy who saw through her smart mouth and wild heart - Beck Wilder, the older ranch hand with slow hands and a jaw that made her knees weak. They kissed once at the county fair. And then he vanished. Now, at twenty-one, Cheyenne's grown, pissed, and still a little heartbroken. When Beck returns to Hillsborough - tattooed, built like sin, and acting like he never left - all those old feelings come roaring back. But this time? She's not the girl he kissed and walked away from. Now, she's the woman who's gonna make him beg. This is a love story with teeth - full of barn loft heat, southern fire, and a cowboy who doesn't stand a chance. "He kissed me at seventeen, then left without a word. Now he's back... and this time, I'm not letting him walk away clean."

When Savannah Cole inherits her grandfather's struggling ranch, she's determined to prove she's more than just a rich girl in boots. But the land isn't the only thing that needs saving-so does her pride, her name, and maybe... her heart. Enter Colt Maddox: brooding cowboy, rough hands, and a reputation for making good girls wild. Too bad Savannah's sass, curves, and no-nonsense fire drive him damn crazy. As sweat, saddle leather, and late nights blur the lines between business and pleasure, Savannah and Colt give in to a heat they can't deny. But with jealous rivals, buried secrets, and a past that won't stay quiet-can a city-born heiress and a wild cowboy build something real? Or will their love burn out faster than a prairie storm? A spicy, emotional, filthy-sweet cowboy romance filled with saddle sex, barn lofts, whipped cream, and the kind of dirty talk that leaves readers breathless.
