James Goldby is on the wrong side of the Civil War. Born into a long line of Georgia farmers, he's never lived without slaves. He enlists in the Confederate militia because everyone else tells him it's the right thing to do. But is it?
Josephine "Josie" Sherman is daughter to a well off, honest, and kind merchant. Unable to join the war as a soldier, she signs up as a volunteer Union nurse to serve her country as best she can. With a deep-seated hatred for "rebs," she wonders how God could ever be merciful to such men.
James and Josie meet when James is left hurt, hungry, and helpless in enemy territory. When the lines between grey and blue are stripped away, will they be able to find common ground? Or will a battlefield forever stretch between them?

That Blue-Eyed Boy
Fresh out of high school and finally home from Panama, 18-year old Stella Hawkley is surprised to find a new farm-hand waiting for her at the airport. Will she be able to find a place in her heart for the tall, dark, and tattooed god that just walked into her life? At 22, the last thing Beau Morris wanted was to find a girl he wanted more than anything to settle down with. But, when his new boss sends him to pick up his daughter, Beau finds exactly that. Will he be able to work his way into the heart of the stubborn, bossy, and way too gorgeous girl that owns his? **It's pretty country-to-the-core, but I tried as much a possible to stay away from the 'country cliches' as much as I could (not saying that there are NO cliches, because, come-on, some are cute). **Concluida
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!

It Goes On
"In three words, I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." -Robert Frost He thought he'd forgotten how to feel. She thought she had nothing left to give. After the war, Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts to finish her education - and maybe, if she's lucky, to start feeling whole again. But nothing is as expected. Her old friendships feel distant. Her reflection is unfamiliar. And the brooding Slytherin with the dark eyes and quiet kindness? He sees her more clearly than anyone else ever has. Theodore Nott never imagined he'd survive the war, let alone fall for her. But when the Golden Girl starts looking at him like he's worth saving - he starts to hope for something softer. They're awkward. They're damaged. They're trying. And they might just fall in love by accident. I do not own rights to any characters, plots, or ideas based on the Wizarding World created by J.K.

The Forgotten Ones (A Completed Steamy, Historical Romance)
We know a lot about the American Civil War. We know about the battle at Gettysburg and how Sherman burned Atlanta but do you know many individual stories? Follow Oliver and Naomi from their arranged marriage through the war. It will be quite a journey as Naomi faces the war home alone and Oliver fights battle after battle. She will face one of the cruelest band of the southern militia army as she tries to protect the people she loves most. This is a story about the ones left home during the war. The one's who earned no great merit or place in history. The forgotten heroes of a bloody war that stood for freedom and equality for all Americans. I based some of facts in the story on writings left behind by my family that lived here in Indiana in the 1860s. My ancestors were Quaker and they were abolitionists in Indiana. We still have their homes used in the underground railroad in our family. My other side was endangered servants from Ireland and my great-great-grandfather was, unfortunately, one of the soldiers that came to Indiana while serving under John Hunt Morgan. He was the rest of my family's enemy. https://www.wattpad.com/646167251-the-forgotten-ones-a-completed-steamy-historical Please keep in mind this story is based in America during the 1860s and it was a different time.
