"I don't know. Maybe I'm just a fool. Or maybe I wanted to see if you were actually as mean as you act or if it's all just bark." "Oh I can bite, Morgan. You just ain't been close enough to let me get a mouthful of flesh. I guess that proves my earlier point." "Oh? And which one would that be?" "That you're a goddamn dandelion." I snorted. "Least I ain't a rabid dog." "I'd rather be a rabid dog than a dandelion." She scoffs. "I have a better chance at scarin' people off that way." ~🐎~ In the lawless heart of the American West, love isn't a sanctuary-it's a battlefield. Arthur Morgan is a man who knows only the iron of his gun and the loyalty he owes to the Van der Linde gang. When he pulls a spitfire named Claire from the wreckage of her past, he expects a burden. Instead, he finds a mirror. She is the rabid dog to his enforcer, a woman fueled by a violent riot that matches the storm inside his own chest. Through a decade of blood, dust, and stolen moments, their partnership evolves into something more dangerous than any heist: a future. From the frozen mountain peaks to the glittering, suffocating ballrooms of high society, Arthur and Claire navigate a thaw that threatens to soften the edges they need to stay alive. But as the century turns, the world is closing in. The age of outlaws is dying, and the secrets they've kept-and the promises they've deferred-come due. In a life defined by waiting, Arthur and Claire must finally decide if they are fighting for the gang, or for the ranch that feels further away with every bullet fired. One decade. Two broken souls. A love that was meant to save them-if the world doesn't burn them down first.

Book two of The Mummy

When Isobel Carnahan picked up a gun in the sandy grounds of Hamunaptra and decided to fight, little did she know that it was the start of the rest of her life. A woman who could shoot as well as she could patch a wound was the last thing that Rick O'Connell expected to find in the desert, and when he ends up stumbling through the sand for days on end, she becomes nothing more than a figment of his imagination. It's only when he's about to be hanged in prison three years later that he learns that she is and was very real. Now, when they'd forced together on a seemingly impossible quest to stop a resurrected Mummy with limitless power, they seem to be drawn together by a force more powerful than any at Imhotep's disposal. The question becomes, will they survive long enough to explore it, or become another skeleton buried within the City of the Dead? (The Mummy - The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) (Disclaimer: I own nothing but Isobel and any original scenes and dialogue I've written)

A M*A*S*H FANFIC | Korean War Historical Fiction "The women of the medical profession were not called to the colors, but they decided to go anyway." - Esther Pohl Lovejoy, MD [ American Women's Hospitals Service ] - * - * - * - When Major Nellie O'Hara landed in the Republic of Korea, she didn't know exactly what to expect. Being one of five surgeons in a classified military experiment called the Athena Project, she only knew she'd face the discrimination of her gender. After all, in the States a woman surgeon was extremely rare; in the military it was unheard of. But with the war in its second full year and surgeons hard to come by, the military secretly allowed five women to enlist and serve in Tokyo, Seoul, and for Nellie, a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital near Uijeongbu. She used her time in Tokyo to read up on the 4077th. They were well known for their incredible 97.8% survival rate. But all the reports in the world couldn't prepare her for the antics, the personalities, the acceptance, and the tragedies of the 4077th.

Three thousand years ago in ancient Egypt, a high priest was condemned to an eternity as one of the living dead and never to be awaken. In 1925, he has been released and will bring the Apocalypse. Now, it is up to Rick, Evelyn, Amelia, Ardeth, and Jonathan to stop the creature.

Molly and Ardeth survived Hamunaptra and Imhotep, deciding that their love was strong enough to fight for, no matter the different sides of life they come from. Now, with peace in Egypt, Molly and Ardeth can finally have some time to themselves and explore what they have. And maybe, just maybe...add a little bit of adventure to the peace.
