At the age of 17, Jennifer Williams has never known loss. She's had all she could ever want. But that was until her beautiful, talented horse she trained herself, drops dead underneath her in the show ring.
Noah Danvers has been living with loss ever since his mother died in a tragic farming accident.
Jen escapes from her grief by changing everything about her life; moving away from home to spend her summer living on an island in South Carolina, scrubbing toilets and waiting on guests at a B&B.
Once there, she meets Noah; doing his best to keep anything else in his life from changing.
When Noah offers Jennifer a scruffy paint gelding out of a friend's back field, it's the beginning of a journey that could change, or break, the both of them by Summer's end.

Wild Hearts
COMPLETED and EDITED with Grammarly. Raelynn Montgomery was a child genius, graduated high school at 14, undergrad at 15, graduate at 18, and doctorate in veterinary medicine at 21. I've had my life planned out since I was a child and everything is going according to plan, that is until my mom threw a wrench into my plans. I had no idea she married a new man and moved to Wyoming, she was supposed to be in Texas still working at her law firm. We were never close but she wants to change that now, she wants me to be apart of her new family with her new husband and his two sons. I had no idea the feelings that would develop for these two men... and their best friend. This is going to be interesting considering my past, the one boy that ruined relationships for me because of abuse. Can these 3 cowboys change my opinion on love? Copper Bishop, aged 34, a navy SEAL veteran with baggage from his time in the military. He's fiercely loyal and protective of his family. Rhett Bishop, aged 30, a navy fighter pilot veteran, lost half of his right arm serving his country faithfully. He's guarded and has a little hot headed when need be. Ezra Woods, aged 34, he's best friend's with Copper and Rhett having grown up together. He's the sheriff of the county that the Bishop Ranch is located in. Author's note: This book is loosely based off of Yellowstone, Copper is most definitely based off of Kayce from Yellowstone (love him so, so much) but Copper will be different in some ways. I'm kind of putting a mafia spin on it as well. This is a mature book, there will be sexually explicit scenes and the FMC (Rae) will end up with three (3) men. It is a why choose/reverse harem book. I will have a list of characters and probably a playlist listed, if you're not a country music/western music fan, ignore those playlist (lol). Please do not steal my work, I'm working really hard on this book.Complete
Heartbreak Town (COMPLETED)
Reagan Renne Walker left the tiny town that she grew up in in Wyoming five years ago to fulfill her dream of opening an equine therapy ranch in Montana & to start a new life. Reagan's parents died when she was just seven years old. Mallory, Reagan's older sister, was still too young to care for both herself and her sister. As a result, Reagan and Mallory were forced to live with their grandparents. Mamaw and Papaw Walker sent both girls through school and college. Reagan never imagined leaving Wyoming. However, after her unexpected relationship with Swayde, her childhood best friend, and love of her life, took a turn for the worst, all Reagan could think about was that she couldn't get out of Wyoming fast enough. Swayde is your typical, rugged cowboy. His smile was enough to melt any girls heart, his eyes made it seem like the sun was always shining, even in the worst storm, his square jaw line accented his dark beard, his body thick with muscles. His physical features and build were intimidating at times, and didn't always match his laid back, easy going, gentlemanly personality. Swayde never thought he would fall for feisty Reagan, and even more so, Reagan never thought that she would fall for him. They end up in this unexpected whirlwind relationship, and everything is hunky dory until Reagan finds out a secret from Swayde's past that would forever change the way she looked at him; a secret he kept from her for over ten years. Confiding in her grandma, Reagan finds out that her grandparents knew the secret all along too. How could the people she thought loved her hurt her so bad and keep this big of a secret from her for so long? When tragedy strikes back in Wyoming, Reagan is forced to move back to the town she swore she would never step boot in again, thus leaving her new life in Montana behind. Through God, can Reagan find a way to forgive the people who hurt her, or will she forever consider Alpine Ridge "Heartbreak Town?"Complete
Thoroughbred - The Price of Arrogance
It was a beautiful autumn day, the sun was shining and I was in a good mood. It was Friday, I was walking across campus and had an awesome weekend ahead of me. Someone touched my shoulder as they ran up behind me. It was Jennifer Madison. Her dark blond hair was tied up in a ponytail and her green eyes were shining. Everyone thought she was very pretty. She was single. "Hi Brad, enjoy your weekend! I'll see you on Monday." I nodded and smiled, "Yeah, thanks. You too." If I didn't already have a girlfriend, I could easily have her. She wanted me. I could tell. Who wouldn't? I'm the hottest on campus, I thought cockily. A group of freshmen girls standing under a tree watched me as I passed by them. I flashed them a Brad Townsend smile, that would make any girl weak in the knees. They smiled back, waved and started whispering and giggling. That's when I saw her. Lavinia. She was walking with great determination toward me. I smiled broadly. I couldn't believe she was here. Probably to surprise me. She looked amazing. She was wearing a light blue top and a white miniskirt. Her blond hair flowed like silk through the autumn breeze. I couldn't wait to spend the entire weekend with her. "I'm breaking up with you. I've met someone else," she said. The way she said it sounded so off. Like someone standing up at a wedding, clinking their glass with the purpose of making an announcement. Was she even looking slightly bored?

Wildfire | Kayce Dutton • Yellowstone
If you were to ask me what if was like to fall in love with a cowboy, I would say it's like a wildfire. Once it starts, there's no way of stoping it. It burns you alive from the inside out. Consumes you, every part of you. At least that's how it felt for me when I fell for a cowboy, one who wasn't even mine and could never be mine because he belonged to somebody else and I'm left with figuring out how to put out this fire that is loving Kayce Dutton. ***** Darkness and tragedy was all Wren Wheeler knew from the day she was brought into this world. The only good thing in her life was her older brother, Rip. The one who saved her from the brutal ending their mother and younger brother weren't so lucky to escape from. She didn't believe they would ever have a chance of surviving out in the world. Not until John Dutton gave them a second chance at life, just as long as they swore to never bring their past with them to his ranch. The ranch where she found herself a family, a sister she never had, and a love she swore she'd never allow herself to experience. Because that kind of love was never meant for a girl like her. Kayce Dutton was never meant for her, and he could never be. They could never exist. Will destiny prove her wrong?
Lone Star | Rhett Abbott
Wabang, Wyoming ain't big enough for the both of them-or at least, that's how it's felt since sophomore year. Rhett Abbott and Abigail Reed were inseparable growing up. Their families' ranches stretched across the prairie from one another, and their childhoods were built on bonfires, rodeos, lake trips, and long summer nights. Abbott and Reed-two of the biggest names in town. Then came the night everything changed. A mid-autumn family camping trip, a fire pit under a sky full of stars, and a kiss neither of them forgot. But instead of drawing closer, they both froze-too scared to make a move, too proud to admit the truth. Rhett drifted toward Maria Olivares. Abby, out of heartbreak and maybe revenge, ended up with a Tillerson. Trevor Tillerson. Rhett saw them behind the Buffalo Bar, wrapped up in each other, and just like that, years of friendship went up in flames. They spent the rest of high school as enemies with matching bruised egos, sharp tongues, and lingering stares. Then Abby left town right after graduation, chasing a country music dream in Nashville-and Rhett never heard from her again. Until now. Six years later, Abby's back in Wabang-washed-up, heartbruised, and coasting on the last fumes of a stalled career. But this time, she's not just passing through. Thrown back together by old memories and even older tension, Rhett and Abby find themselves circling that same fire again. The feelings never left. The timing was just wrong. This is a second-chance, enemies-to-lovers romance filled with bull rides, bonfires, bar brawls-and a love that never really died. Because in Wabang, some feuds never fade. And neither does first love.
