Goth Girl meets horse from Hell.

A rebellious girl fails in her attempt at emancipation; a rebellious horse refuses to be properly grateful for a second chance. Can they make team, or are they both doomed for failure?

At 15 years old, and determined to be free of school and rules, Jill was on her way to West Virginia to get married to her biker boyfriend when they were picked up by the police. At that moment, her life turned upside down and all her plans for emancipation ended.

From her life in a Cleveland Ohio suburb, she's transported to wilds of Jefferson, in her father's custody. A father doesn't care about her former life, who thinks she needs to go to school and get good grades.

Her resentment knows no bounds -- she has to ride a school bus, do homework and has been grounded from all social media.

Then she goes to an auction and buys a horse. A very special horse who shows no gratitude, obeys no one and appreciates nothing that Jill does for her.

This is a horse story like no other.

~"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?

7 parts Ongoing
[ First Completed: 3/4/18 ] Currently undergoing revisions; slowly re-publishing as of May 2024 this is the first part of a three-part series It's a bit of a love story...and also not. Picture this: it's 2016, senior year of an average American high school. Popular kids, not-so popular kids, and the outcast. Enter Bruno Kelly Alano, a girl from halfway across the country with a personality that's earned her a variety of names - but the one she holds with pride, is "Loca." The girl everyone knows as the lunatic. Growing up with a rough life, she's led herself with a particular mindset that she's better off alone. Friends have come and gone. She's built up the armor to take a hit from the rest. Talking, communicating her deep thoughts and feelings just wasn't apart of the tricks up her sleeve. But then, like the age-old saying - he came into her life and changed it entirely. He's the sweetheart, popular kid. Not a bully, not a bystander, but someone who sticks up for others. Captain of the soccer team, everyone's looked at him as "perfect." The only oddity is for the past two years, everyone who knew him since kindergarten feel he's become much more reserved. Withdrawn. Son of some of the wealthiest people in America: Carter "Niko" Talivinci. Little did he know, hitting it off with the school "freak" would impact his life just as much. Two totally different people, from virtually two entirely different worlds. A rich boy and a lost cause. A know-it-all communicator, and a forgotten daughter. Their last year in high school, they learned much more of themselves and each other. That they could love again, heal one another's wounds, and share some outrageous memories involving the law, mental health, laughs, jerks, new friends, old friends, and much, much more. But, will love be enough to rescue her from herself?
Saving Grace by allie7

"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?
