On her way home from Virginia City, Gabriella Cartwright gets captured by a trio of gruff looking outlaws. Riding along with them, she soon discovers who they are and it terrifies her. The trio are none other than the three men her fiancé, Candy, told her about and what he told her wasn't pleasant. When they discover who she is, a decision to use her to get three thousand dollars from her stepfather, Ben Cartwright, is made. 

After spending hours searching for Brie, Candy Canaday finally finds a clue to her whereabouts. Following the trail of hoofprints off the main road, Candy, his future father-in-law, and his four soon to be brothers-in-law rush to find the missing middle daughter of the family. When Joe tells everyone what the sheriff shared with him about a specific gang of outlaws that were said to have come through Virginia City after failing to rob the bank in Carson City, Candy realizes what they're up against. He knows the gang and they just happen to have a grudge against him and they've captured Brie, who would be the easiest way to tear into him. 

In a swirl of madness that ends up with the gang capturing Candy, the murder that the outlaws have planned isn't the only thing that's threatening the Cartwright's family. As Brie suddenly becomes extremely sick while being held hostage, Candy can only hope that both of them will make it out alive.

In this exciting tale filled with outlaws, hostages, love, and a very bad case of delirium, will Candy Canady and Gabriella Cartwright be able to have the happily ever after that they want and deserve?

On His Terms by _omanita

"You can have me, Kian," I whispered, elation that my plan was coming into play, making my voice low. "Are you sure? Because you don't know, Jade. You," a deep groan escaped him, the rumble of his words vibrating against the arch of my throat, "don't know how much it's taking me not to bend you over and slam myself inside you." ***|***|*** Coldhearted and ruthless, Kian Fields is done with his toxic marriage. Bitter, he focuses on his multi-billionaire company, loathing all women that roam the face of the Earth. Until he meets feisty Jadesola, who goes out of her way to mock him. Stunning and hot-headed, Jadesola is on the verge of poverty---her no-good ex-fiance has made off with half of her casino's earnings--- and the only choice she has is to request financial aid from none other than her nemesis, Kian. Except that Kian has a thrilling game plan up his infuriatingly gorgeous sleeve. He's out for revenge and will only agree, if and only if she becomes his personal assistant a.k.a office slave. But Jade is a woman with a fierce backbone and it would be a cold day in hell before she dances to his wicked tunes. With sinister family secrets and chilling mysteries blowing their entangled way, it's a wonder who would tame the other and come out victorious. The game is on. EXPLICIT CONTENT. A SPIN-OFF OF WAVER, THIS IS A SLOW BURN BWWM ROMANCE NOVEL.
