No where to go, on the road Faylyn is on her way to finding her place in life. After a misunderstanding, prison and an argument with her parents, they kicked her to curb without even wishing her luck. Without a high school diploma or anything to keep her tied to the city, she left. Thankfully, with the car and clothes she had paid for, she headed South with the hope of finding her place in the world, a meaning for her existence. It was then she found herself in an uncommon situation, alone, in the middle of nowhere with something that needs more help than she does.

Yes, this is a romance novel. It's more of slow building love rather than a raunchy, extremely passionate one.

What will happen as they work on the ranch, side by side? _ Lillian Walker has lived her whole life on the ranch-isolated, routine, untouched by the world beyond the fence line.

Saving Grace by allie7
35 parts Complete Mature
"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?
