Amendment
Josie didn't even want to go to her brother's Civil War reeanctment--let alone dress up for it. But going to the bathroom while wearing a hoop skirt is the least of her worries.

Now, stuck in the Hatfield household, she's got to find a way to get to her missing brother without offending the frightening Devil Anse or his suspicious uncle, Jim Vance. She's got five days to stay with the Hatfields before Election Day, an event she's told no one can miss. Maybe, just maybe, she'll be reunited with Russ. And maybe she would've gone home, too, if she hadn't found herself completely swoony over Cap Hatfield.Complete

Every author has their humble beginnings, and I am most definitely not excluded. This one-shot collection starts with the very first story I ever wrote on this website, A Snowy Winter's Day. However, because it was written roughly two years ago, the writing style is quite a bit different than how it is today. Taking down my earlier works to attract a bigger audience is something I've often considered, but it would mean getting rid of a part of me. So, as you read through this book, you are reading 2 years worth of writing, which has been developed over time to how it is now. Please enjoy.Complete

The place is London. Mistress Rosalind Hayes is a courtesan, raised in an orphan asylum and later tutored by one of the most respected courtesans of the time. Now, Rose caters to the whims of lusty nobles and businessmen, and she is determined to maintain her sovereignty. When Rose meets the Thompson siblings; Jules, a navy captain, and Alice, his spirited younger sister, the trio form an easy kinship.

Untamed
"She's the fuse," Rowan muttered. "And we're all gonna burn." _____ Sadie Quinn didn't plan on ending up in a nowhere town like Deadwater, Texas. But running doesn't always come with options, just a half-charged phone, a bag over her shoulder, and a past she'd rather not look back at. She came for the job. A quiet cabin. A paycheck. A chance to feel like herself again. What she found were four men. Rhett, the cold, commanding boss with eyes like judgment and a voice like gravel. Colt, all sharp edges and low threats, the one who doesn't believe in giving space. Rowan, charming and reckless, always smiling like he knows what she's thinking. And Levi, the quiet one. Unreadable, intense... and the first to truly see her. They're not just cowboys. Not just ranchers. There's something darker behind those stares. Something dangerous under the surface of Hollow Creek. Sadie doesn't trust easily. But every day on that ranch pulls her in deeper. Toward secrets, toward heat, toward the kind of want that can burn everything down. She came here to escape. She might've just found the thing that finally undoes her. _____ Updating frequentlyComplete

Unfortunately, she doesn't get any appreciation for it and is always neglected by him. It was 1860, and the preparations for the upcoming battles have started (the ones that are part of what we call today, the Civil War), which also meant that it was time for Alexander to leave Cassandra for some while.
