It started out as a game...until someone got hurt

Beau Ashford was your typical southern cowboy. He wasn't looking for love, far from it. His one goal was to expand his property and maybe invest in a couple markets in the city. But all that changed when he was assigned an agent: Grace Williams. Grace Williams thought her job was going to be easy. Show the hunky, somewhat annoying, overly flirty cowboy some property. Not nearly sleep with him. Not let him get underneath her skin with his southern drawl, and his masculine pheromones. When Beau realizes that what he really wants is not just property in the city but love, Grace's love, he hitches a plan. What happens when Beau riles her up so bad that she ends up hitching a ride to work for him in Texas? Will Grace fall? Or will she deny herself her one little slice of country love?

Follow me for more information. Abigail Jenkins is a young African woman from Missouri in the early 1890's. She's caught wind of the Oklahoma Land Rush and now she's set her mind on getting a chunk of land for herself. She's tired of the high minded white people from her old town and she wants to take charge of her own life. She is well aware of all the risks she may face by going alone into unknown territory, but she's willing to take that chance to have a new start on life. Derek Greyson, on the other hand, is a man simply wanting a change in scenery. After his parents died, he'd been taking care of his little sister. But now that she's married, he's turned his attention away from his home in Texas, and to the Land Rush in Oklahoma. He finds himself in the dust ridden land with thousands of others, greedy for a piece of the land. What he didn't expect, however, was to meet a lively little African woman with a sharp tongue, deep chocolate eyes and a mountain load of prejudices against white men due to the murder of her little sister. What will he do when he finds himself falling for her, along with all of her emotional demons? And for Abigail, what will she do when the stranger with icy blue eyes and a charming smile decides to break all social norms just to be with her?

Halia never meant to lose control. She tried to warn him. She told him she was dangerous. He hadn't listened. Banished from her pack for a crime she had no choice but to commit, Halia flees the only home she's known for the harsh wilds of the eastern plains. Without the support of a pack the delicate balance between woman and beast rapidly deteriorates into one. As a mindless rogue she is no better than a rabid wolf; her sole instinct to kill. Caedus lives under the mountain with the rest of his coven, an outsider even among his own people. As his father's son he is expected to eventually lead the clan, yet as his mother's child he longs for independence. Can a werewolf who needs a pack and vampire who yearns for freedom find strength in each other? ***Cover photo belongs to Taylor324***
