A short story based off of Billy Walker's song The Lawman
They sent me out from Santa Fe to try and find his trail
They think that I'm the only one who can bring him back to jail
This star says I'm a lawman this gun has seen me through
And though my heart is heavy I've got a job to do
You see he's such a proud man who never learned to crawl
But a good man turns gun slinger he's the meanest man of all
He killed the US Marshall and for that he's gonna pay
And I'm the lonely lawman who's on his trail today
There was a time he fought for true and on the side of right
Until the only girl he loved was killed one faithful night
I know his heart was shattered as he turned the barren sod
And laid away her body come ending into God
Then he vowed a revenge to those who took her life
And every notch upon his gun a tear shed for his wife
But revenge is like wild fire sweepin' through the wood
It turns reason into ashes and it burns out on the good

THOMAS BRODIE SANGSTER FANS COME HERE --- La Belle had always been a happy home. That was, until the accident. (Y/n) McNue, daughter of the town's Sheriff, grew up in the dust and warmth of a place where everyone knew your name - and your business. It wasn't much, but it was enough. Then the mine collapsed, and the men of La Belle were all lost in one day. In the wake of that loss, the women clawed their way through grief and grit, piecing together a life from the ruins. Their home feels empty. Their lives were changed forever. Now it has been two years, and a new storm brews. Frank Griffin - outlaw, killer, devil in a preacher's coat - is riding again. And Roy Goode, the man who betrayed him, is bleeding his way across the desert... straight toward La Belle. As old ghosts rise and new gunfire shatters the dust, (Y/n) must reckon with the deepest truths of who she is, what she's lost, and who she might still become. Because even the strongest faith can't always save you. Not here.

Gone Country
This isn't the story of how the city girl fell for the cowboy, oh no, this story was how the city boy fell for the home grown country girl. Harper was a single mother with a six year old son as her pride and joy. She owned her fathers old ranch as his last wish and lived an almost normal life. She had proven that she didn't need a man in her life after what had happened with her ex husband, but no matter what she did she couldn't seem to get away from his mistakes. She had known that he had had another child with someone else, but she had been unprepared for when that child's mother passed and how her ex was now getting out of county jail. She knew it wasn't her child, but the sibling of her only love Lucas. She was going to adopt that child and make a real home for her. Only she didn't know what a fight that would be. Caleb was an attorney from the big city of Detroit. He had been assigned to a case that brought him down to the sunny land of Georgia, with the heat and stetson hat fashion. Not knowing what all it would contain he was shocked to be faced with a fierce woman. Independent. A good head on her shoulders. Harper was all he could have ever wanted. He was struck with what he would have sworn to be lightning and wanted to know what made her tick under that gorgeously tanned skin. But they were from two different worlds. And he had a lot to learn if he was going to win over the country girl. Especially with him representing her ex-husband. Boundaries are made, lines are crossed...when family is what you have, its all you've got. Once you have it, you don't want to let it go. #1 in Country!

Gator Tillman's Wildfire Girl
Wynn Wilder was born barefoot and brazen, raised in the dust of Tillman Ranch with fight in her fists and a fire in her heart. For most of her life, she was just the annoying, tagalong kid sister - Luke Wilder's little spitfire and Gator Tillman's favourite source of trouble. But time has teeth. And it changes everything. Now Wynn's grown, all sharp tongue and sweet curves - a singer with a voice that could bring a man to his knees. And Gator, her brother's best friend, the boy who used to shove frogs in her boots, is suddenly seeing her in a whole new light. A light he has no business stepping into. He's trying to be good. A badge on his chest. A last name to live down. And, a loyalty to Luke that he risks breaking, one stolen glance at a time. Because Gator went and fell for the one girl who's always been off-limits. Author's note: If you ever wondered what Gator Tillman might've looked like if he'd been raised with a little more love, and what kind of woman it would take to teach him gentle - this is for you. This is Gator and Roy Tillman reimagined, rewritten, and redeemed.Complete
Southern Charm
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations. While others her age are embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!

St. Patrick's Luck
Wyatt Kelly never had an easy life, at least in his opinion his life was never easy. Wyatt is 16 years old and lives on the streets, sleeps in alley way and manages to find odd jobs around time to pay for the very occasional new shirt or pair of pants from the second hand shop and his meager dinners every night. Now, you might be wondering why in the hell a 16 year old boy is living on the streets instead of living at home with a loving family for at least another two years? The answer is simple yet sad; his family which consisted of his mum, dad, an older brother and a younger sister all died in a house fire late one night while he was staying the night at a friend's house. Yes, he was taken into a foster home but he ran as far away from that home as he could after being beaten every day for a month because his foster father couldn't handle a 'fag' living in his home but he wouldn't send Wyatt back to the foster care system because he liked the money he received every month for keeping him. When he left he managed to leave the state he had lived in his entire 16 years, he escaped to two states from his own before settling where he was; San Diego California and he was originally from Salem, Oregon. He wasn't thrilled of being so far away from his families graves but he couldn't stand being in the foster home for however he would remain there. Wyatt plans on returning home when he turns 18 years old, only two more years before he can return and visit his family when he feels the need or would like to.Complete
