Ava Thorpe lost her parents to a car collision when she was eight years of age, hence her grandparents holding custody over her and her four-year-old sister and three-year-old brother.
Later on in life, at the age of eighteen, losing her grandparents was even tougher than losing her biological parents. With them gone and all the fortunes that they owned left behind, everything was left to Ava and her siblings.
Now, at the age of 22, living on her farm with her sibling that she eventually won custody of, she has it all.
Her farm house is too far away from any town or city resulting in her siblings attending a boarding school.
She's all alone everyday, far away from civilization with only her cattle and the man on the radio to keep her company.
From a distance, the view of the mountains is magnificent - breathtaking even.
With crop filled land on one side of her home, horses and cattle at the back, and a vast amount of land naturally molded into a forest over the years on the other, there's nothing out of the ordinary that you'd find.
Being the natural farm girl that she is, she hardly finds anything terrifying, but when she stumbles upon a man rummaging through her kitchen and and cleaning out her fridge, she doesn't know what to think or do but to aim.

I felt the tears rise and I looked down for a minute, gathering all of my resolve. I looked up again and stared him right in the eye. "You know what? I trusted you!" I jabbed my finger in his chest and he recoiled. "I trusted you and you broke my trust. I trusted you to keep the secret. I trusted you enough to tell you everything. I trusted you to keep my trust. I trusted you." I told him and he flinched as my voice broke in the end. I looked away from him and at everyone else in the room. "And you wonder why I never trust. You know what? I can't do this. I'm done." I scoffed and shoved past Aiden but paused at the door, not looking back. "Oh, and if you are still curious? Go ahead and hack into the file. Don't say that I didn't warn you." ************************************************************** Alexis and Aiden are siblings with Aiden being 11 months older than her. With a neglectful mother and an abusing step dad, these two face the world on their own with no one to help them out. When they get a chance at a new life, they jump at it. What happens when Alexis bumps into a boy in the new school she is set to attend? Especially when the boy she bumps into looks exactly like her.

The Heart of Harvest
Introduction In the quiet hills of a small farming town, where the sun rises over golden fields and the air is thick with the scent of earth, Alexander had spent most of his life. He grew up on the farm his parents had worked tirelessly to cultivate, the vast land stretching out before him like a living, breathing testament to their legacy. But when Alexander turned 18, that legacy was no longer just something to be proud of-it became his burden to carry. His parents' untimely death left him with an empty house and a sprawling farm he was unsure how to manage. For years, Alexander struggled to find his place, feeling the weight of their absence pressing on his shoulders. The farm, once full of life and laughter, now stood silent and still, as if mourning its lost caretakers. It was then, in the midst of his solitude, that Violet entered his life. Violet was a girl from the neighboring town, someone who had always admired the farm from afar. Her passion for nature and the simple, beautiful life of farming led her to visit more often, offering help with the harvest, tending to the animals, and bringing her light into the otherwise dull corners of the farm. What began as a simple friendship soon blossomed into something deeper-something neither of them had expected. As the seasons passed, so did their bond, built on shared dreams, hard work, and a love for the land that sustained them. Together, they breathed new life into the farm, facing its challenges and triumphs side by side. With Violet's unwavering support, Alexander slowly began to realize that the farm was no longer just his parents' legacy-it was their future, together. This is their story-a story of love, resilience, and the undeniable power of working the land.Complete

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be.

Right Back On
**Book 2 in the Coda Paxton Series** From the very moment I met Oakley Meisner, I knew my life was going to change, big time. As if my world wasn't messy enough already, she whirled in like a hurricane and turned everything upside down. I have a lot to thank that girl for, though. She introduced me to my best friend and got me into roping; the sport I grew to love. And, as much as I hate it, I have to credit her for giving me the confidence to believe in myself and stand up for what's right. If there's one good thing to be said about Oakley, it's that she was relentless in forcing me to stand up, dust myself off, and get right back on with life.Complete
