After his mom dies, twenty-year-old Jake needs a fresh start. He ditches the Big City life he grew up with and heads out on a road trip in his beat-up old Mustang, heading for the small town of Summerland, British Columbia. It's just what he needs - a place where no one knows what happened back home.

All that changes, though, when he meets Rose. She's passionate, ambitious and has big dreams about making it as a journalist. But like Jake, she's struggling to break free from her own dark past and the chains that bind her to Summerland, and there's only so far she can run before her demons catch up. 

When Rose's brother dies in a car accident, both of their worlds are turned upside down. Rose and Jake must make a choice. Do they follow their dreams or follow their hearts - and what happens if they can't agree on the answer?All Rights Reserved

Taking Rein by vlover261

"Run!" Julia exclaimed before grabbing a hold of her bag and bolting away as soon as we heard the sound of sirens approaching us. I ran behind them before my foot got caught in a branch and I tripped, leading them to catch me. Not my best friend and my boyfriend, no. Those two ditched me. Letting the police only catch me. ***** Seventeen-year-old Sophie Reynolds thought she had her life all figured out-until a reckless decision gets her exiled to her grandfather's ranch for the summer. Trading in her designer wardrobe for dusty boots was never part of her plan, especially at a place like Equestrian Creek, where the horses outnumber the people and the only excitement comes in the form of chores. Enter Liam Parker, the easygoing stable boy with a wicked sense of humor, a captivating British accent, and a look that could stop hearts. He's everything Sophie can't stand: carefree, unpretentious, and entirely unimpressed by her attitude. And the feeling? Mutual. Forced to work side by side, their constant bickering sparks something unexpected, a slow-burn connection that's impossible to ignore. With every stolen glance and late-night conversation, Sophie realises that maybe, just maybe, her perfect world wasn't so perfect after all. One summer. One chance to rewrite her story. And one boy who just might change everything.

Firefly Night by Never_Ending_Story7

▍ AN ORIGINAL ╱ western romance And if longing had a face, it would wear my features like a mask. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I watched the fireflies dance, Their glow fading softly in the dark, They slipped from my hands, gentle as they came And like a whisper on the wind, The night went quiet again. When we were young, we were taught the distinction between A hero and a villain Good and evil A savior and a lost cause We were taught this But what if the only difference is the one whos telling the story UNDER HEAVY EDITING LIKE STORY LINE WISE So if you come back one day and it's completely changed I apologize! I had two ways I wanted this to go and wrote out one entire book before realizing a different way would be better
