*************************************************************************************
  
 After meeting at a local fundraiser in Kona. HI, Leland and Ellie find themselves on new territory when it comes to emotions.

Leland; broadly confident, groomed by the eye of the camera, desired by his fans for his boyish charm and religiously conditioned physique. He'd played the field after his divorce with not even a vague plan for the road ahead except dedication to his career as a bounty hunter. Deep down, he missed the intimacy of a relationship, but Leland had no intention of revealing the scars on his heart for anyone...until that night...

 Ellie's self esteem is at an all time low and cannot understand Leland's interest in her. Life has taught her that the things that she loves and values most will always disappear sooner or later, and she is the one who's left heartbroken, alone and in utter despair. A shy, and socially awkward outward appearance, beneath the surface, she ferociously barricaded her own heart under lock and key, pushing away anyone who dares venture near.

But she wasn't always this way; A fading memory of who Ellie used to be is at risk of disappearing altogether, and despite finally accepting Leland's love and loving him in return, the reappearance of an old flame and a dark secret could mean she faces life alone again.

Saving Grace by allie7
35 parts Complete Mature
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?

"I should be allowed." He says with gritted teeth. His voice filled with something. A thing a lot like desire that brings me back to crazy reality. A reality where we are tangled up against each other. "You should be al...-" A gasp escapes my mouth as he lifts me up or rather goes further low for me. His hands, back on my waist. Face buried in the crook of my neck, he inhales into my skin. Still inhaling he lets out a manly groan that I feel everywhere, in places I didn't know existed. The places that come to life because of him. "I should be allowed to touch you." He rasps in my neck. My back arches up and I close my eyes at his declaration. At his domination. At his intoxication. "You should be allowed to touch me." I insist. Brain empty. Because I can't think right now. He lifts his head up then, I notice his eyes have gone darker. His features have gone wilder. Representing an untamed animal in a way. ------------------------- Isabella Evans is your typical good girl who has a bit of a dark past.
