Saudade, the love that still remains after someone or something is gone. A deep feeling of nostalgia, harboring a repressed knowledge that the beloved will never return. Scarlett and Matt were the definition of 'the perfect couple'. When Scarlett finds out she's pregnant with Matt's child, rather than tell him, ruin both of their lives with a child, or get an abortion, she decides to break up with him. Parting their separate ways, a brokenhearted Scarlett has her baby, and Matt becomes a well known horse trainer in Wellington, who is known to be extremely talented, and have talented kids and horses, but also known as a harsh and cruel person. When Scarlett's new boyfriend's business gets transferred down to Wellington, she starts her daughter up with riding lessons at Matt's barn, not that she knows it's his barn. What will happen when Matt discovers that the girl he absolutely adores, mother is his beloved ex-girlfriend? Will he be able to save her from her abusive boyfriend?
AU, Modern, Steamy little story about Charlotte Heywood and Sidney Parker. For all of Charlotte's teenage years she's had a crush on Sidney Parker who worked for her father on his horse ranch. He's treated her like a kid since he's five years older than her. That changed when she turned eighteen and he finally gave in to all the flirting. Only it's not exactly how she pictured it would go. Now, four years later, she has inherited her father's horse ranch and she is forced back into the life she left behind.
Lots of sex, lots of fighting, could be seen as quite aggressive at times, and Sidney will be looked at as a douche, I'm sure.
