The Lawman (Historical Western Romance) by LilyGraison

On the run from her ex-lover... Jilted by a no-show husband... And now mistaken for a whore in the Diamond Back Saloon... Abigail Thornton doesn't think things can get any worse. That is until a single slap to a man's face starts a barroom brawl that lands her in the last place she expected to be. Town Marshal Morgan Avery wants nothing more than to wash away the trail-dust and sleep for a week, preferably with a soft, willing woman by his side. Instead, he gets Abigail Thornton - all one hundred pounds of her thrust at him seconds before a fist connects with his face. Breaking up the fight takes more effort than he wants to admit and when the last man falls he finds Abigail still standing and not looking the least bit contrite. Throwing her into the town jail for the night would salve his wounded pride and then he will let her go. Or that was the plan. When morning comes he finds himself oddly reluctant to do so. Miss Thornton is hiding something and he aims to find out what, even if he has to bed her to do so. But will one night in her bed be enough? *WARNING: This story contains smokin' hot love scenes. It is 'not' a sweet romance.*

Saving Grace by allie7

"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?

a poignant journey of unexpected love, loss, and the painful beauty of memories that last forever. The story begins with a simple moment-a glance through a window. Lizzy, casually peeking outside, notices a boy with his family. At first, he seems like just another loud neighbor, someone who doesn't mean much to her life. But little does she know, this fleeting encounter with Zephyr will become the defining moment of her existence. As their paths cross more often, Lizzy and Zephyr form an unspoken bond that slowly grows into something deeper. Zephyr, once a mysterious figure in Lizzy's life, becomes her closest companion-someone who understands her fears and insecurities. Their connection, filled with quiet moments and stolen glances, eventually blossoms into a love that neither of them ever anticipated. Yet, Lizzy's love for him never fades. Despite his insistence that she move on, Lizzy refuses to let go, fighting to stay by his side. But as Zephyr continues to hide the truth, Lizzy is left to face the harsh reality of the love they shared-until one fateful day when Zephyr's condition reaches its end, and Lizzy finds out the devastating truth too late. In a heart-wrenching twist, Lizzy is forced to say goodbye to the love of her life, only to discover that Zephyr had been carrying the weight of his illness alone, hoping to protect her from the pain he didn't want her to witness. Through a letter Zephyr left behind, Lizzy learns that from the very first moment they met, he had already fallen in love with her. This is a story that explores the depths of love, the heartbreaking decisions we make to protect those we care about, and the unyielding power of memories that stay with us forever.
