Loving Ellie Ellie Sinclair Matthews has loved Blake Weston as far back as she can remember. He had always been her best friend and protector, like a big brother. But somehow, she wasn't sure exactly when, her feelings of adoration turned into love. Not the kind of love between a brother and sister, but the kind of love a woman feels for a man. Ellie knew deep down Blake was the only man she would ever love. All she had to do was to get him to see her as a woman not as a little sister. All of that changed when she and her cousin were abducted from their train by a ruthless band of outlaws as the two of them were on their way back to Red Valley. Blake Weston was a US Marshall and most days he loved every minute of it. He and his partner John were working undercover in Angel Cooper's gang. The last person he expected to see on the train the Cooper gang was robbing was his childhood best friend, Ellie Matthews. The day continued to go south when Angel himself decided to take Ellie and another girl with them for "entertainment." How was he going to get them out safely? His work wasn't finished but he couldn't risk Ellie's life. And if he could save her from the gang, would be able to save her from him, or did he really want to?

Beorn is a skin-changer, a man who can also take the form of a ferocious black bear. When he meets the dwarves and Bilbo in The Hobbit, he is the last of his kind -- his family was wiped out by the evil orcs. On An Archive of Our Own, author Thorinsmut wrote a story called "Pretty Bird," in which the dwarf Nori is a skin-changer like Beorn, only Nori's animal form is a bird. Meeting Nori, gives Beorn something to think about--maybe he doesn't have to be alone. Inspired by that lovely fic, I decided to write a story about how Beorn finds his mate. Also, for this story I have created a new group of Rohirrim, a clan that lives in the mountain steppes and who have darker hair and skin tones than the more common Nordic-looking people of that nation.
