He was there, and then he wasn't. That's what Elaina found herself realizing so often.
Who was he?
What was he?
Always dressed in that black trench coat, pale blonde hair beneath the black fedora he wore. He spoke to her many of times, she could almost reach out and touch him-
But ghosts weren't real, were they?

Falling for the Kingpin
"Just give me a second, please," I whispered. He stopped. For a heartbeat, I thought maybe-just maybe-he'd turn back. Instead, his voice came, quiet but cruel. "A second? Why? Was four months not enough?" The words hit harder than any scream could have. "You don't understand," I said, but it wasnt a sound. More like a whisper. He spun around so fast it made me flinch. Now we were face-to-face, his breath uneven, eyes wild and shining. I could see the storm inside him, the tears he refused to let fall. "Don't understand what, Elaina?" he said. "Help me here. What don't I understand?" My throat tightened. The words wouldn't come. The truth was right there, pounding in my chest, begging to get out-but all that escaped was a trembling, "I..." Elaina, a brilliant crime detective, has just four months to track down the elusive and feared criminal mastermind known only as "The King."

And then there's him-the King himself. Cold, calculated, and untouchable, he's never believed in love...until her. As trust and suspicion collide, the line between right and wrong blurs, and both must navigate a deadly game where hearts, loyalties, and lives are on the line. Will Elaina capture him-or will she risk everything for the one man she's sworn to take down?Concluida
i was (never) meant for peace - a Billy the Kid Story
"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. :)Concluida

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?

If You Die, I'll Haunt You
When Nell lights the candle beneath the crooked oak at Rough and Ready, she doesn't just summon a ghost-she awakens a past life she can't escape. In San Francisco, she wears velvet and pearls, the dutiful wife of a gentle scholar. But in the foothills of Nevada County, she is something else entirely: a courier, a healer, and the only woman bold enough to stitch up Jesse James himself. He is outlaw and legend, flesh and shadow, a man the world already believes half-dead. She is torn between the safety of velvet lies and the fire of a kiss that feels like destiny. Bound by a silver coin wrapped in red thread, their fates entwine across raids, betrayals, and the echo of bullets in canyon walls. But when Nell swears, "If you die, I'll haunt you," she means it. And some vows run deeper than life itself. A gothic outlaw romance of love, myth, and the price of freedom-If You Die, I'll Haunt You will leave you haunted long after the last page. **If you would like your own copy for Kindle, you can get it over at Amazon along with my other works that are not posted here! **Concluida

I Can See Their Death
In the depths of her childhood, at the tender age of 7, an unsettling gift awakened within her - the power to glimpse the impending demise of others. Ghosts and ethereal apparitions became her companions, while the looming specter of death itself held an unyielding presence in her life. Anleane possessed an eerie talent; her visions never faltered, always revealing the cruel inevitability of mortality. Even those closest to her weren't spared. Hauntingly, she foresaw her own mother's fate, the grim prophecy manifesting just days before its fulfillment. A chilling truth gripped Anleane's reality: those she glimpsed in her visions were bound to the realm beyond. There was no escape from the dance of death that she alone witnessed. And then, the inexplicable occurred - her own figure materialized within the confines of her ominous predictions. Confronted with the realization of her impending doom, Anleane's fight for survival intensified, a desperate attempt to defy the very destiny she once foretold. Amidst the relentless shadows of her cursed ability, Anleane grapples with a question that consumes her every thought: Can she, against all odds, outwit the clutches of the inescapable, or will she become yet another victim to the merciless hands of fate?Concluida
