When a tragic accident leaves Lorna McAllister alone in the world, she finds she has no choice but to leave and start over again. And so, she regretfully makes the journey from her home in Scotland to faraway America in 1870, hoping to take up a teaching position in New York or the surrounding area. When she arrives, she finds that the only available position is over a thousand miles away... in the wild Dakota territories. As she begins on this journey of a lifetime, a chance meeting with an outlaw leads to a series of events that force her to cling to her last shred of strength and courage... and meet her future boldly.

Somewhat loosely follows the style of Janette Oke's prairie romance novels.

58 parts Complete Mature
1870, Philadelphia, USA. Martha Whitcomb, the wild child of Philadelphia society, is now a grown woman, independent in wealth and in personality. At twenty-three, still unmarried and childless, she is exposed to constant rumors and ridicule, crushed by the ever-increasing weight of the sneers and jibes of her peers, and haunted by the failed engagement to the one who got away. Her dreams of becoming a successful businesswoman are blocked at every turn by the men around her, who are determined to smother the voice of a young woman intruding in their world. Realizing that she will never fit into the mold already set by society, Martha joins the droves of Americans heading west to the open frontier, a world that appears free from restraints, from convention, and from the expectations she has come to loathe. Upon her arrival to the growing town of Paradise Reach, she believes that she has indeed found her paradise. She soon realizes, however, why this town's inhabitants have dubbed it Purgatory Reach. She quickly learns that the west is free from the suffocating rules because it is a world more focused on immediate survival. It is a world where an insult could quickly escalate to a gunfight in the streets, a dangerous world crawling with outlaws, thieves, liars, and schemers. One of these outlaws is Jack Gatling, a rancher-turned-gambler. Escaping both demons of his own and the law, Jack came to Paradise Reach in hopes of making his fortune only to find himself focused on staying alive until tomorrow. In Martha, he sees an opportunity of his own, a chance to earn the riches he has been chasing. Martha knows she has two choices: return to Philadelphia with her tail between her legs and lock herself back in her gilded cage, or succeed in a world where women have few choices but to sell their bodies to make a living. Can Purgatory Reach again become Paradise? **Sequel to Dear Rhodora**

Letters from the Ranch by Alscode
5 parts Ongoing
When city life stops feeling like living, maybe it's time to head where the wild things grow. Elaine "Lainey Jane" Harrell never expected her life to change over a midweek phone call. Between tight deadlines and takeout dinners, the last thing the overworked city girl expected to inherit was her late aunt's ranch-complete with creaky fences, unpredictable horses, and more mud than she's ever seen in her life. Determined to settle her aunt's affairs and move on, Lainey packs up her dog, Loddie, and drives north to the quiet little town of Willow Creek. But what she finds there isn't just a run-down property-it's a home filled with forgotten memories, a community that welcomes her with open arms, and a stack of letters her aunt left behind, each one revealing a story Lainey never knew about her mother, her family, and herself. Helping her navigate this new life is Lucas Walker, a steadfast cowboy and the nephew of the elderly couple who happen take Lainey under their wing. He's all sun-browned confidence and small-town patience, the complete opposite of everything she thought she wanted. But as she learns to mend fences-literal and emotional-Lainey begins to wonder if the ranch, the letters, and the cowboy who refuses to let her go might be exactly what she's been missing. Set against wide-open skies and the hum of quiet country nights, Letters from the Ranch is a heartfelt story about rediscovering home, healing old wounds, and finding love in the last place you expected-right where you belong.
🔞Wanted The Outlaw🔞 by RosieSharpe
22 parts Complete Mature
Some fires don't burn out - they become you. Jane was born in the dust of the Nebraska Territory, baptized in violence and raised beneath the boot of the God-fearing congregation. By the time she's a woman, she's no stranger to pain - or to running. Branded a criminal, hunted across the West, she trusts no one. Especially not men with law badges and silver tongues. Until she meets him. The sheriff is steady, haunted, too good for the territory that bred him. Without realising she is the outlaw that he's tracking, he offers her shelter during a storm - nothing more. But Jane has survived by reading men like maps, and she sees it in him: desire, reined in tight. Jane stepped closer. The sheriff's walls were plastered with her crimes - wanted posters, notes, crude sketches of her own face. And now Jane stood between them and the man hunting her. He'd brought whiskey. She smiled. "Tryin' to get me drunk, Sheriff?" His chuckle was slow. "Just bein' decent." She moved closer, each step a gamble. If he saw the posters in the lamplight, he'd surely recognise her. No. She had to keep him looking at her. Only her. A button slipped free. The sheriff's jaw tightened. "You don't have to do that." "I know," she said, and closed the last inch between them. It began slow, a breath shared, a thread pulled taut - then it snapped. His mouth met hers, rough and unrelenting. There was no tenderness, only heat. Her back hit the wall, her shirt slipped, and his hands roamed like fire. She had used her body as a weapon before. But this was surrender, too - fury and need burning under her skin. Outside, the storm battered the shutters. But the real storm was here. And through it all, Jane kept her eyes on the wanted posters above the bed. Her own face stared back. Wanted: The Outlaw is a work of historical fiction that dangles religion, redemption, and extremely steamy romance on the end of the hangman's rope.
