After her mother's death, Charlotte finds herself an 11 year old orphan in the quiet town of Strawberry. She is drawn to the dangerous life of stealing to earn enough money to keep herself alive. One day, a tall stranger shows up at her door, introducing himself as Dutch Van der Linde... Her long lost father. She is raised side by side with Arthur Morgan though the two never consider each other siblings but rather enemies, divided by Dutch's favoritism for his un-biological son. As they grow older, Hosea advises Charlotte that it's time to put the rivalry to bed and asks her to look at Arthur from a new angle. She begins having strange dreams about him, spurred by a traumatic event in her life. When she gets stuck with him after fleeing Valentine, they get into a heated fight that twists into something neither of them thought would ever happen... #1 in Dutch Van Der Linde #6 in Wild West #1 in Western Warning: contains heavy depictions of violence, alcohol and drug use, smut and foul language Listen while you read!

And finally, through the first snowflakes that started tumbling through the harsh wind, I spotted two silhouettes. Clad in thick winter coats, guns strapped to their backs. Each step filled with grim determination as they waded through the knee-high snow towards us. They stopped a few feet away. The taller man's eyes met mine. He carried himself with silent confidence, evident in the expression on his weathered, undeniably handsome face. Sky-blue eyes framed by thick brows, chapped, full lips, a crooked nose. An association lingered in the back of my head, but I couldn't quite grasp it, until I asked: „Who are you?" {-}-{-}-{-}-{-}-{-}-{-}-{-}-{-} Oh, the hatred that she holds for Dutch van der Linde. While running with the O'Driscolls for over ten years, this man had been the bane of her existence. Now, three years after leaving the gang, she gets lost up in the Grizzlies on the run from the bounty on her head. When she saves one of Van der Linde's men from a wolf attack and gets taken in by them as an ally, she has to face that hatred again. And then there's also Arthur Morgan, Dutch's right hand man, who won't let her forget either that they were enemies once. ❗️Currently undergoing heavy editing❗️ This story is a reader insert, but I avoid uses of (Y/n) as much as I can.
