Every Body Has A Secret by paulmitting

In 1876 Arizona, Kirk Fields is a man apart, carrying a secret that he dare not reveal. He lives with his Grandfather, working a modest cattle ranch alone as far from other people as he can. Everyone in the small community wonders about his past, thinking he might have been a Shootist or Bank Robber somewhere back East, maybe even a de-frocked Priest sent out West to atone for his sins. In a way the rumours were true, but no-one in Wayland's Station could have guessed the truth he was hiding so carefully from his neighbours. Until the day the Raiders came and stole away cattle and an even more audacious prize - two beautiful sisters from the nearby Johnson farm. Kirk will once again have to embrace his past and let loose the secret hidden within him to save the innocent lives of the Jonhson girls. A secret that will threaten the very soul of anyone who has to face it.

The Damned Walk Among Us by LetroitHall

The year is 1861, and the wild, untamed frontier hides more than just bandits and dust storms. When cattle begin turning up mutilated and ranchers go missing near the rugged town of Bittercreek, three brothers from the McCoy family uncover a horror beyond their understanding. Joined by Katrina Van Buren, a hardened vampire hunter with a score to settle, they face a sinister force stalking the vast, desolate landscape. As whispers of dark figures grow, the group is forced into an uneasy alliance, navigating the unforgiving terrain, rugged mines, and an underworld of blood-hungry creatures. Armed with silver, wooden stakes and holy water, makeshift torches, and sheer grit, they know it will take everything they have to survive. In a land where justice is swift but survival is swifter, only one question remains: will the hunters become the hunted?

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?

Wildfire | Kayce Dutton • Yellowstone by lunasarchives

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?

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?
