19thcentury cowboy fiction forbidden historical love olderman outlaw sheriff slowburn western wildwest youngerwoman

She never imagined a life in any other form. For 22 years, Amelia Layton has been stuck in a loveless home with an uncle who ignored her existence. Her only escape was her late Aunt Mae's seamstress shop in their little dusty town of Hawthorne.

But her escape soon becomes a backdrop for forbidden secrets and moments that would hold Amelia's only source of happiness...but for how long?

Marshall Trevors, spending too many years alone after the fall of what little family he had known, decides a move to a different climate might help his ailment. Too many years living a hard life on the ground, too many wounds, too many bullets, and too large of a price on his head. He decides on a little dusty town in Colorado. Hawthorne seems to be a nice enough place to lay low, maybe for however long he has left.  

He never took into consideration that he may possibly find more than just a home but also friendship among the townsfolk and ranchers. And for some reason, the little seamstress of the town never seems to be far from his mind.All Rights Reserved

"The way you are getting worked up over this . . ." he murmured, his voice low and gaze intense, "is making me think thoughts that I should not be thinking." *** When a man with a dark past and wounded visage to match arrives in the small town of Glendale, it sets the once peaceful place on edge. No one knows how he came to look like he did, and no one dares to get close to find out. All except for one widow, who will discover that their lives are more entwined than either of them ever thought possible.

Silver and Gold by SolShine333

In the rugged mining town of Silver Ridge, nestled deep in the Colorado Rockies, two women from different worlds find themselves drawn together by forces they can't fully understand. Lily Whitaker is a gentle, optimistic woman who has just moved to Silver Ridge with her husband, Henry, a miner whose increasing dependence on alcohol is driving a wedge between them. Desperate to make the best of her new life, Lily struggles to maintain her hopeful outlook even as her marriage deteriorates and the harsh realities of life in the frontier town begin to close in around her. Josephine "Jo" Callahan, the gruff and guarded owner of the town's general store, has spent nearly a decade in Silver Ridge, keeping the world at arm's length. Hardened by years of solitude and the burden of secrets she's kept hidden, Jo has built a life of independence, but it's a life devoid of meaningful connections. When Lily and Jo's paths cross, the initial tension between them slowly gives way to a deep, simmering attraction that neither woman is prepared for. As Lily experiences a slow-burning sexual awakening, she is forced to confront feelings she never knew she had, while Jo grapples with the walls she's built around her heart. As their bond deepens, Lily must navigate the complexities of her growing desires, the suffocating expectations of society, and the crumbling state of her marriage. Meanwhile, Jo must decide whether to let down her guard and risk everything for a chance at love in a world that isn't ready to accept them. Silver and Gold is a tender, bittersweet tale of forbidden love and self-discovery in a time and place where both could prove dangerous. Set against the vivid backdrop of a lawless frontier town, it explores the courage it takes to follow one's heart, even when the cost might be more than either woman is willing to pay.
