Adella Banks has just moved to a small town with her mother to escape a dark past that consists of horrid memories which follow her everyday. She has no friends, no social life, and lives in the fear of being found by her past everyday - hopefully she gets a new start without trouble.
But of course, that's not the case.
Ashton Thorn is Mr.Popular, he may not be the best in school but many tell tales of how fabulous he is in the sheets - but it goes deeper than that, secrets to be unfolded and old scars that start to bleed again but when a certain new girl catches his eyes, can he force his past behind him or will he hide behind shadows of memories?
The two start to bond over their pasts, but they seem to forget that in small towns, gossip is like air. Can they survive the stigmas? Keep their friends and each other when secrets start to be unveiled or will they fall victim to the gossip?

Untamed
"She's the fuse," Rowan muttered. "And we're all gonna burn." _____ Sadie Quinn didn't plan on ending up in a nowhere town like Deadwater, Texas. But running doesn't always come with options, just a half-charged phone, a bag over her shoulder, and a past she'd rather not look back at. She came for the job. A quiet cabin. A paycheck. A chance to feel like herself again. What she found were four men. Rhett, the cold, commanding boss with eyes like judgment and a voice like gravel. Colt, all sharp edges and low threats, the one who doesn't believe in giving space. Rowan, charming and reckless, always smiling like he knows what she's thinking. And Levi, the quiet one. Unreadable, intense... and the first to truly see her. They're not just cowboys. Not just ranchers. There's something darker behind those stares. Something dangerous under the surface of Hollow Creek. Sadie doesn't trust easily. But every day on that ranch pulls her in deeper. Toward secrets, toward heat, toward the kind of want that can burn everything down. She came here to escape. She might've just found the thing that finally undoes her. _____ Updating frequentlyComplete
