A NEW EDIT OF THE PREVIOUS ATTEMPT (see below)
"My past is the future, and my future is the past."
Elizabeth Rhinehart Garrison, who was sent into the past against her will, has settled into 1870s Wyoming with her rancher husband and adorable stepson. But when she is forced to timeslip back to present-day Chicago, can she get back to the Old West life that she chose? Or will she, like her husband, decide she has a few scores to settle first?
This is an IN PROGRESS work, and 4th book in a series.
As of AUGUST 2019, I have decided to seriously revamp this, especially the part of the story that is set in modern-day Chicago. I'm probably doing away with the "sending homeless people back in time to hunt them" plot, which just isn't me. More important, I need to give Lillabit back some of her sense of fun from previous works (my own issues with depression have colored some of her decisions, or lack thereof). My apologies to any of you who got invested in that version! I've kept your comments, in case they vanish with the ditched chapters.
Consider it a chance to see how a multi-published author (I've also published/won awards as Evelyn Vaughn) creates her raw material. COMMENTS ARE SO VERY WELCOME, and the fuel that keeps me going!
The series began with "OVERTIME 1: Searching" and "OVERTIME 2: Turning," available on Amazon.com. "OVERTIME 3: Slipping" will be on WattPad until it is published on Amazon.

The Submissive Wives Estate II
UPDATES MON & THURS🤍 At The Estate, every trial marriage begins with a contract. But not all end with love. Callie Shelsey has always been the bratty little sister. But after breaking her contract with Xavier, the one man who's ever put her in her place and in his heart, she learns sometimes you don't realize what you have until it's gone. She's about to discover that second chances don't come easy. Especially not when a mysterious new suitor is thrown into her orbit like a wild card. And Xavier's back in a new form-and he's not playing by the old rules. Callie wants to prove she can be good. But good girls get punished too. And this time? She might enjoy it. Audrina Frank was born to be obedient. Pretty, poised, and polished. After surviving a trial marriage to a man twice ribboned and leaving slightly humiliated, she meets a confident, eligible suitor with a punishing streak-a man with a shady past who needs a smokescreen. He's not here to fall in love. And Audrina? She might finally be done being perfect. Especially when submission starts to feel like the most dangerous desire of all. Meanwhile, Daniel Cross & Whitney Cherry are finally living their hard-won happily ever after. His rules are clear and their once-enemies dynamic has settled into something loving but disciplinary. Meanwhile, Levi Shelsey IV and his "little one", Charlotte are setting the gold standard in domestic discipline...as much as Levi's controlling tendencies and Charlotte's fierce independence can allow. In a world where punishment is tradition, old rules are crumbling and this generation is reinventing what true power exchange means.
Aavya The Obsession
Hey everyone! I'm beyond thrilled to announce that my very first book is hitting Wattpad soon! It's a story that I've poured my heart and soul into, and I can't wait for you all to read it. IT IS COMPLETELY FRICTION STORY The tale revolves around a British officer and an Indian girl, exploring complex themes like forced marriage and dark romance. Please keep in mind that this is a work of fiction, so try not to draw parallels with real life. The story does contain some mature content, including domestic violence, fighting, and strong language, bloodshed. I understand that these themes can be tough to read about, but I want to ask you to approach it with an open mind. My intention isn't to glorify or promote anything negative, but rather to craft a narrative that's engaging and thought-provoking. I'd love for you to immerse yourself in the world I've created and see where the story takes you. Your support means the world to me, and I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback. Thanks for taking the time to check out my work - I hope you enjoy the journey!" I'm using AI to correct sentences in a story, but the complete story, theme, or dialogue is written by me.
The Edge of Misery: The Mitchel Brothers Series Book Two
** Picks up where The Edge of Hell (Mitchell Brothers Series Book One) left off** If there's one thing Declan Mitchell learned from watching his mama almost die from the heartbreak of losing his daddy to a war nineteen years ago, it was that a great and powerful love delivered an equally devastating heartbreak and suffering-the kind he had every intention of avoiding like the bubonic plague. And until traveling west to Idaho Territory and coming face to face with the mismatch-eyed, auburn-haired beauty, Wren McCrawdon, he believed he might succeed in carrying out his plans of never marrying. Molded by her traumatic journey west when she was twelve, twenty-four-year-old, accident-prone Wren McCrawdon's life on her family's ranch in Falcon Ridge, Idaho, is full of back-breaking work, beginning as dawn's first rays peek across the mountains and ending long after the sun sets when she can barely drag her weary bones up the stairs to her bedroom. But from the morning Declan Mitchell and his family arrive, her miserable existence becomes more bearable until tragedy strikes when all she sees are the harsh realities of loss and suffering. Concerned for Wren's safety and remembering how bitter the edge of misery was after his daddy died-Declan discovers he's willing to do anything he can to take it away from her... even if it means a marriage of convenience is the only suitable solution. There are only two problems: first, it's already apparent he's following in his mama's footsteps toward eventual heartbreak, and second he somehow has to convince Wren to agree.Complete
Wildfire | Kayce Dutton • Yellowstone
If you were to ask me what if was like to fall in love with a cowboy, I would say it's like a wildfire. Once it starts, there's no way of stoping it. It burns you alive from the inside out. Consumes you, every part of you. At least that's how it felt for me when I fell for a cowboy, one who wasn't even mine and could never be mine because he belonged to somebody else and I'm left with figuring out how to put out this fire that is loving Kayce Dutton. ***** Darkness and tragedy was all Wren Wheeler knew from the day she was brought into this world. The only good thing in her life was her older brother, Rip. The one who saved her from the brutal ending their mother and younger brother weren't so lucky to escape from. She didn't believe they would ever have a chance of surviving out in the world. Not until John Dutton gave them a second chance at life, just as long as they swore to never bring their past with them to his ranch. The ranch where she found herself a family, a sister she never had, and a love she swore she'd never allow herself to experience. Because that kind of love was never meant for a girl like her. Kayce Dutton was never meant for her, and he could never be. They could never exist. Will destiny prove her wrong?
Arnesto Modesto: The World's Most Ineffectual Time Traveler
This story is a full-length novel on Amazon (and elsewhere) and is currently (12/12/2018) a #1 best-seller in Time Travel Fiction in Australia. Though I'm unlikely to make big changes at this point, comments are always welcome and typos almost certainly squashed. Now the REAL description: What if you could go back and do it all over again? By sending his memories back in time, Arnesto Modesto gives himself a do-over. Of course, his much younger self may not be prepared to handle all that foreknowledge... Encouraged by his friend Pete, Arnesto attempts to use his limited recall to do some good - and winds up stumbling through some of the biggest events of the past quarter-century. Take it from Arnesto: Life isn't easier the second time around. (Think Groundhog Day if the main character went much farther back and only got to repeat his life ONCE.) For anyone who has ever wondered, "What if?"Complete

Fragments of a Broken Timeline (Sly Cooper OC) [Book 3]
"I'm not angry because you dragged me into this whole time traveling mess, I'm angry because you lied straight to my face..." In a perfect world, everyone would be happy with the hand they're dealt, but more often than not, that just isn't the case. After discovering that Sly has faked his amnesia, Rae is beyond livid with him to the point where she doesn't even want to work with him, much less be near him. However, when their family timeline is in peril, Rae now has no choice but to bite the bullet and work with Sly and the gang on this one, but with a slight twist. Bentley has created a time machine so that they can travel through time and restore these strange anomalies before their family history is forever corrupted by the likes of a man who goes by the name of Ceril Le Paradox. Now, forced to tag along on another adventure involving time travel, Rae must resolve her differences with Sly if they ever wish to repair their fragmented timeline. However, what happens when Sly gets tired of playing this game with her, and what secrets will be revealed once he finally confronts her about it? In a story filled with drama, unexpected twists, and an unintential betrayal, the gang must travel through time in order to repair the timeline, otherwise their future may be corrupted for the worst. Disclaimer: I do not own Sly 4: Thieves in Time or its characters, only mine and any changes to the story. Will follow the events of the fourth game, and will contain mature content, such as violence, string language, and other mature themes, so as always, viewer discretion is advised. Sly/Oc. Second sequel in series/third book. Read Black Rose and A Thief's Honor in order to understand details. Also, I do not own cover art or any images used in story. Original art belongs to their respectable owners, and as for Bob's speech pattern, I am actually going to have him speak normally since the mammoths do in that time period just so everything makes more sense.Complete![Moebius 2157 | ONC2019 Short List [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/173976333-256-k815092.jpg)

Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!)
