In the background of a rising and growing new country, the shadows of the Pony Express fly over the plains. Nobody really knows who they are, nobody really seems to care. They are nothing more than a nameless link from the East to the West. They defy death daily, braving terrible dangers... rushing rivers, craggy mountain passes, icy blizzards, stifling heat, savage beasts, unfriendly natives. It is a thankless job. But one young woman notices the shadow on the plains... and wonders about the man behind the glorious facade of the Pony Express.All Rights Reserved

Jacob's anger, yelling and all the abuse. Saying he's sorry over and over and that it won't happen again, but it's the same thing over and over. He would say anything to make me stay. Always an apology then back to his old tricks. He doesn't know I got a phone call this morning while he was at work. A phone call from someone with a number that I didn't' recognize. I looked up the number online, and it came back to a mental institution. I can't imagine what I was thinking not listening to my gut the first time he hit me. But I packed my stuff from the closet in a bag and left. I have been on the road for hours when my phone starts buzzing next to me. I see his name pop up and just ignore it. I focus on the road ahead and although I have no clue where I am going I just drive. I tried to do everything I could to make him happy with me but nothing I ever did was right. Everything would set him off and make him fly off the handle. I couldn't call my parents and let them know what was happening.

Problem #1 is Mrs. Nora Pellar and the magic in her touch. Problem #2 is the Pinkerton that's been resurrected from his past.

Lilli Stone by SEViolet

Western. In the old days of gold strikes, boom towns, and outlaws, Lilli finds herself alone and in desperate need of help.

Will traveling across country alone with him ruin her reputation beyond repair, or worse? There's only one way to find out. 'Shaped lean an' tough, the stranger reminded me of a wolf, an' the well-worn gun belt with a smooth polished black ivory handle did not escape my notice neither. It was tied down, an' I felt my heart quicken. Judd had tol' me a'plenty about men who carried guns that'a way, an' I had no likin' for it. That kind was followed by nothin' but misery an' killin'. ' WARNING: There's A LOT of (') in the first few chapters of this book! A LOT. Headin', Startin' etc... There's ALSO horrible grammer. It's supposed to be there! First few chapters, then it gets better. (you'll understand when you read them) ALSO...NO GRAPHIC CONTENT of any kind. The story touches on adult themes that may not be suitable for a younger audience.
