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 by KatayaWinston

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). **

When the Blue Meets the Gray by TheQuietHufflepuff

America's greatest conflict. The Civil War. 1861-1865. Brother against brother, father against son. Elizabeth Hawkins is only 19 when war breaks out. She must make the biggest decision in her short life: Does she join her brother and nurse those in need, or does she live comfortably in the peace of her own home? Note: The battles and commanders are real events and people. I tried to be as accurate as possible with events of battles. Other than those, this is a completely original story. Also, the picture above is an illustration of the attack on Fort Sumter April 12, 1861; beginning of one of the bloodiest wars in American history, if not the bloodiest. Image is courtesy of an article from the Smithsonian.

Forever and Always by voiddixonxoxo

"You left me alone, with no idea what to do!" "I'm sorry, okay! But you could have been supportive!"

What happens when Savannah's ex comes back after being deployed for eighteen months? And what happens when he finds out about her daughter?

On the Outskirts by EmelySwift

~"When are you going to do what's best for you Sadie? All you ever do is what's best for Hallie and push your own wants and needs to the bottom of the pile and let it hurt everyone else in the process."~ Sadie Taylor has been back in her hometown for 6 short months. After leaving 11 years ago, it's fair to say that her life now is a 180 spin on the free innocent teenager she left as. With her 9 year old daughter, Hallie, in toe, Sadie needs to find a new kind of normality where se can release the reins of control and learn to let go a little. She's more than happy taking things at her own pace. Hoping that if she moves slow enough, she can keep her and her daughter in their own little bubble that has kept them safe all these years. But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?
