The slow methodic thud of horse hooves hitting the sand, lulled me side to side, as we walked through the endless desert hills.

The blistering sun hung overhead, a constant reminder of how dry my mouth was. Every painful swallow was like trying to swallow a mouthful of cotton.

My head swam, fatigue overtaking me as I suddenly pitched forward. Landing heavily in the sand. The grains were rough between my fingertips as I faded in and out of consciousness.

The echoing cry of a vulture, piercing my ears as it flew overhead.

A dark shadow swimming into my view as my eyes finally closed. "Please," I trailed off my words sounding foreign to my own ears. Let my death be painless.

...

I fell to my knees, the breath long gone from my lungs as my throat constricted. My resolve fading as I stared at the still body in front of me.

Disbelief matching the tears that rolled down my cheeks.

And suddenly as I knelt in the sand, all of a sudden I felt tired... Like the world had drained me for everything I had.

It was no longer worth living.Tüm hakları saklıdır

NevaehSinor tarafından yazılmış The Wolf, The Ranch, And The Shadows adlı hikaye

River's Howl They were taken. Stolen from the safety of their world. Locked in a place where voices spoke too calmly, where hands held too tightly, where every breath felt like a risk. But Rain and Colt escaped. Through the shadows. Through the fear. Through the relentless grip of desperation-chased by something worse than the night itself. And they weren't alone. River-silent, unshaken, watching-had followed. Had led. Had protected. Now, in the heart of the wild, every step forward is a fight for survival. Every breath is a reminder of what lurks behind them. Every second brings them closer to home-if home still exists. Because they weren't the only ones watching. Because some things refuse to let go. And because River's howl doesn't just echo into the night-it warns of what's coming next. The book start getting good at chapter 9, the first 8 are mainly background. -------------------- Author's Note This book takes place during Rain's 3rd through 5th grade years, a time when she was homeschooled on the ranch before transitioning to public school. Her education wasn't just about coursework-it was about survival, resilience, and the lessons of life itself. Rain and Colt experience trauma that no one should ever endure, yet their journey isn't defined solely by hardship. This story explores their incredible strength, the ways they cope, and how they navigate the shadows of their past while holding onto hope for the future. Through pain, they find resilience. Through loss, they find understanding. And through each challenge, they discover a part of themselves that refuses to break. I truly hope you connect with their story, and I appreciate you being part of this journey. I'm already working on the next installment, and I can't wait to share it with you. Thank you for reading.

RosieSharpe tarafından yazılmış Wanted The Outlaw adlı hikaye

Some fires don't burn out - they become you. Jane was born in the dust of the Nebraska Territory, baptized in violence and raised beneath the boot of the God-fearing congregation. By the time she's a woman, she's no stranger to pain - or to running. Branded a criminal, hunted across the West, she trusts no one. Especially not men with law badges and silver tongues. Until she meets him. The sheriff is steady, haunted, too good for the territory that bred him. Without realising she is the outlaw that he's tracking, he offers her shelter during a storm - nothing more. But Jane has survived by reading men like maps, and she sees it in him: desire, reined in tight. Jane stepped closer. The sheriff's walls were plastered with her crimes - wanted posters, notes, crude sketches of her own face. And now Jane stood between them and the man hunting her. He'd brought whiskey. She smiled. "Tryin' to get me drunk, Sheriff?" His chuckle was slow. "Just bein' decent." She moved closer, each step a gamble. If he saw the posters in the lamplight, he'd surely recognise her. No. She had to keep him looking at her. Only her. A button slipped free. The sheriff's jaw tightened. "You don't have to do that." "I know," she said, and closed the last inch between them. It began slow, a breath shared, a thread pulled taut - then it snapped. His mouth met hers, rough and unrelenting. There was no tenderness, only heat. Her back hit the wall, her shirt slipped, and his hands roamed like fire. She had used her body as a weapon before. But this was surrender, too - fury and need burning under her skin. Outside, the storm battered the shutters. But the real storm was here. And through it all, Jane kept her eyes on the wanted posters above the bed. Her own face stared back. Wanted: The Outlaw is a work of historical fiction that dangles religion, redemption, and extremely steamy romance on the end of the hangman's rope.

Why don't you believe?" I ask whilst clenching the cross necklace that laid around my neck. "God has the ability to heal the world so if he exists why doesn't he? Why does he let innocent people suffer just to spite the ones doing wrong? Why would he leave two young boys motherless and then parentless? Why does character building mean going through shit?" Holden's voice cracks and I see his lips quiver, he looks away avoiding my gaze. In that moment I knew he needed comforting and sometimes that doesn't mean words, so I laid my head on his shoulder and took his hand in mine letting him know if all else goes wrong, I'll always be there for him. __________________________________ Addison Mills just had her life turned upside down, from the death of her mother to leaving the only home she's ever known and Micah, the man she loved. Things look bleek until Holden Daze , an adrenalin junkie that moonlights as the perfect southern gentleman becomes her safe haven in a unfamiliar place. As the two try to navigate their way through senior year, hidden truths begin to surface and dark forces dare to tear them apart. Will their bond be strong enough to overcome life's challenges? Or will this be another tradegy added to the history books?

"You're a hell of a drug, Marianne," he whispered against her hair. "And I swear to God, the biggest trouble I've been in." She smiled, her hand resting over his heart. "A drug? By any means poisonous?" "Far from it, my girl, far from it. But deadly regardless." 🌻 A simple western love story with a twist. Long. Slow burn. A comfort read. Death scenes typical of western dynamics. Nothing too mature in nature. Soft, some hurt and comfort, lots of adventure and mysteries, and everything I've always loved about fanfiction in general. Feel free to comment. Enjoy the show. :)

"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?

Teaser: • "The sound of boots clunking on the wooden floor made everyone in the pub fall silent. The person took off their brimmed hat to let long dark hair fall down her back. People started whispering. She got to the counter and stood waiting, while the barman just gawped. "A beer, please," She said boldly. The barman nodded silently. An older balding man smoothly took up the space at her side, and in one quick movement slid his hand around her waist to grab her backside. The woman's face twisted in anger and perhaps a little terror at this violation, and she quickly slapped his hand away and pushed him backwards. Someone whistled loudly, but the woman ignored it. Her brown eyes stayed alert and open, her thin lips showing no expression. She looked like a teenager and probably was. She was wearing a beige shirt, the top two buttons undone, and her boots were chocolate brown with golden spurs, which complemented her dusty leather jodhpurs. The man from before had recovered and looked as if he was about to try his luck for a second time, but the woman muttered, "do you want children, sir?" and he quickly backed off. "Oooh, feisty," a man said, making people laugh. In the blink of an eye, a pistol was pointed in his direction..."

SEViolet tarafından yazılmış the LEGEND of She-Cat adlı hikaye

Duncan Conner was a man full of anger and anguish, having lost everything he loved, and nearly his own life. Living in self-imposed exile, he wasn't seeking out companionship, hoping to heal from the deep wounds of loss. What he found in the scorching heat of the desert sand would change his life forever...if he survived. ~~~ My slap caught his jaw, the echo of it bouncing back from against the rock, my palm stinging fiercely from the strength behind the blow. The next I knew I was looking up at the sky, ears ringing, shuddering waves of pain rippling from the side of my face. I had not even seen him move, but the rider had spared no strength in his instant retaliation. Dizzy, the world somewhat indistinct and whirling I did not resist when he reached down and again pulled me to my feet. I swayed and nearly fell but the man caught me, gently holding me in place until I could stand on my own. I looked at him, my eyes wide with astonishment, and he must have sensed how I felt because he shrugged. He knew I did not understand him, but he spoke anyway, his voice deep. "I told you I'd lay you out flat, and I don't speak for the pleasure of it."
