Baseado na música "The Ballad of Bill Thaxton" do cantor Marty Robbins, este conto é sobre um ex-patrulheiro chamado Bill Thaxton, que não participa de um duelo ou um tiroteio faz anos.
Thaxton é desafiado por "Pôr-do-Sol" (Sundown), um fora-da-lei que por escolha própria só participa de duelos quando o sol está se pondo atrás no oeste, usando isso como vantagem para cegar seus inimigos e vencer em todos os duelos, já que ele estará de costas para o sol, e o oponente estará olhando direto para a luz.

I inhaled, "Puede que me esté enamorando de alguien que nunca me amará."

BOOK ONE Gods of Desterrados: The Banished Ones
"GET THE FUCK DOWN, NOW!" roared Carlos. To their horror, they heard gunshots and glass breaking. Both girls started screaming as Carlos pulled out a pistol from his trench coat. Florida and Greta covered their ears, trying to duck as low as they could below the seats. Eileen sped down the freeway, dodging cars effortlessly. Florida looked towards a horrified Greta and tried to calm her down, but the bullets flying into the car were making it hard for her to gather her thoughts. A bullet ripped through the passenger seat above her head as she screamed again, flattening her body lower to the floor. Carlos grunted at the impact as Florida realized with sudden dread that he was shot. Suddenly, both girls' screams were swallowed up by a tremendous explosion behind them as Florida witnessed a partial view of a white vehicle door flying right past Eileen's window. She was fighting to stay conscious but suddenly grew light-headed as white spots started to invade her vision. Suddenly everything went to black on Florida. Florida Desterrados is a typical 16-year-old, utterly bored with her mundane existence. However, the assumedly ordinary life she was living, will soon be turned upside down following a traumatic event. Florida's ordeal suddenly becomes a catalyst to eventual violence and death. And out of a desperate will to survive at all costs, she will need to learn of the secrets and lies regarding her family's tragic history from a stranger who reveals himself to be her father's twin brother. Her family was not all as it seemed. Full of intrigue, eroticism, fantasy, suspense, and forbidden romance.

The Madam of Purgatory Reach
1870, Philadelphia, USA. Martha Whitcomb, the wild child of Philadelphia society, is now a grown woman, independent in wealth and in personality. At twenty-three, still unmarried and childless, she is exposed to constant rumors and ridicule, crushed by the ever-increasing weight of the sneers and jibes of her peers, and haunted by the failed engagement to the one who got away. Her dreams of becoming a successful businesswoman are blocked at every turn by the men around her, who are determined to smother the voice of a young woman intruding in their world. Realizing that she will never fit into the mold already set by society, Martha joins the droves of Americans heading west to the open frontier, a world that appears free from restraints, from convention, and from the expectations she has come to loathe. Upon her arrival to the growing town of Paradise Reach, she believes that she has indeed found her paradise. She soon realizes, however, why this town's inhabitants have dubbed it Purgatory Reach. She quickly learns that the west is free from the suffocating rules because it is a world more focused on immediate survival. It is a world where an insult could quickly escalate to a gunfight in the streets, a dangerous world crawling with outlaws, thieves, liars, and schemers. One of these outlaws is Jack Gatling, a rancher-turned-gambler. Escaping both demons of his own and the law, Jack came to Paradise Reach in hopes of making his fortune only to find himself focused on staying alive until tomorrow. In Martha, he sees an opportunity of his own, a chance to earn the riches he has been chasing. Martha knows she has two choices: return to Philadelphia with her tail between her legs and lock herself back in her gilded cage, or succeed in a world where women have few choices but to sell their bodies to make a living. Can Purgatory Reach again become Paradise? **Sequel to Dear Rhodora**Complete

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And?
