Into the Gathering Storm 1866 by lickcreek

The story of a young horse trader who manages to sample most of the adventure on offer in the West of 1866. The lead character is a truly disruptive hero, prepared in his own way for the challenges of love, violence and his own driven ambition. The first person narrative provides a strong voice in a well researched account of the period. The title describes the arc of the story, a horse and cattle herd driven unwittingly into the Platte River Indian War of 1866. In a harrowing final scene the outcome is truly in doubt. Fast paced writing in a highly readable style.

Where the Willow Weeps (Iron Star Ranch Book 2) by luscious67

He's too old, too damaged, and too set in his ways. She's too wild, too young, and too damn proud. But out in the raw heart of Oregon, they might be exactly what the other needs. When Dyani, a sharp-tongued Cayuse healer with no intention of ever loving a white man, accepts a job at Riven Blackstone's ranch, the last thing she expects is Butch Farran-grizzled foreman, Civil War veteran, and the most infuriating man she's ever met. He orders her around. She ignores him. He growls. She smirks. But Butch has a secret: the day Dyani walked onto his land, he knew she was his. He's already bought the ring. Already started building her a cabin. She doesn't want a man. And he doesn't deserve love. But somewhere between blood and dust, wildfire and winter, they find it anyway.

I Loved The Wrong One First by jenniferdare

I was the preacher's daughter. Meant to be good. Meant to marry the sheriff's son. Beau Carter was everything I was supposed to want-steady hands, clean boots, a heart full of promises. But then Weston Clay rode into town. Older. Wilder. Wanted. He didn't ask permission. He didn't need saving. And he sure as hell didn't care who I belonged to. One of them held my hand in church. The other pressed me against the barn wall. Now I'm caught between the life I was raised for... and the fire I can't put out.

In the untamed American frontier of 1870, 17-year-old Noemi is sold into marriage to Riven, a hardened Civil War veteran with a reputation as a ruthless cowboy. Scarred by his past and burdened with the responsibility of inheriting a sprawling ranch in Oregon, Riven is determined to keep his new bride at arms length. As they journey across the treacherous Oregon Trail, bound for a life neither of them envisioned, Noemi's fierce spirit and innocence begin to thaw Riven's hardened heart.

But the trail is fraught with dangers, both from the wild terrain and the ghosts of their pasts. As they face the challenges of survival together, Noemi learns to harness her own strength, demanding to learn the skills that will allow her to stand beside Riven as his equal. Along the way, she uncovers a softer side of the man she's bound to, while Riven is forced to confront his fears of vulnerability and the possibility to love. Yet, as they near their destination, the question remains: can they truly leave behind the pain of their pasts and forge a future together on the unforgiving frontier, or will the harsh realities of the Wild West tear them apart before they even have a chance?

The CHRONICLES of QUARRELS CROSS, GODS GUNSLINGER by KeithArlenLack

This is a screenplay I wrote while living in Colorado on a remote ranch a few years back during a three week white out at 8,500.00 feet. In my cabin. It is the story of a civil war preacher and the deal he makes with god to redeem himself. By cursing god, in a fit of carnage and rage, Cross finds himself appointed by god to dispatch evil back to hell in order to find his place in the kingdom of god once more. It is part western and part horror story. With a hole lot of humanity in-between..

Wild Hearts by RemiClaire

COMPLETED and EDITED with Grammarly. Raelynn Montgomery was a child genius, graduated high school at 14, undergrad at 15, graduate at 18, and doctorate in veterinary medicine at 21. I've had my life planned out since I was a child and everything is going according to plan, that is until my mom threw a wrench into my plans. I had no idea she married a new man and moved to Wyoming, she was supposed to be in Texas still working at her law firm. We were never close but she wants to change that now, she wants me to be apart of her new family with her new husband and his two sons. I had no idea the feelings that would develop for these two men... and their best friend. This is going to be interesting considering my past, the one boy that ruined relationships for me because of abuse. Can these 3 cowboys change my opinion on love? Copper Bishop, aged 34, a navy SEAL veteran with baggage from his time in the military. He's fiercely loyal and protective of his family. Rhett Bishop, aged 30, a navy fighter pilot veteran, lost half of his right arm serving his country faithfully. He's guarded and has a little hot headed when need be. Ezra Woods, aged 34, he's best friend's with Copper and Rhett having grown up together. He's the sheriff of the county that the Bishop Ranch is located in. Author's note: This book is loosely based off of Yellowstone, Copper is most definitely based off of Kayce from Yellowstone (love him so, so much) but Copper will be different in some ways. I'm kind of putting a mafia spin on it as well. This is a mature book, there will be sexually explicit scenes and the FMC (Rae) will end up with three (3) men. It is a why choose/reverse harem book. I will have a list of characters and probably a playlist listed, if you're not a country music/western music fan, ignore those playlist (lol). Please do not steal my work, I'm working really hard on this book.
