After discovering the cruel circumstances of her father's death, Clara Thompson sets out to right the wrong. Her path along the infamous Montgomery Trail, a notorious highway for criminals and outlaws alike, will test a daughter's dedication, her will, and the lengths to which she is willing to go to carry out justice. A terrible outlaw, as deadly as he is hard to track down, awaits her at the end of her quest. The markings on her neck set her apart from the world and force her to carry the brand of "Silvertongue." The markings gift her with the ability of hypnotizing speech but saddle her with the prejudice of a world that fears her kind and the heavy responsibility of using her words wisely. Will she take the high road of justice or will she dive headfirst into the depths of revenge?

Saving Grace
"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?

Dust and Destiny
Time Frame: 1865-1869, immediately following the Civil War. Setting: The book is set across the plains and small frontier towns of Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado Territory, as railroads are slowly expanding westward. Lawmen, outlaws, and settlers are carving out lives in a raw, often unforgiving landscape. Plot: The story follows Clara Bennett, a daring and independent 22-year-old woman whose family lost everything in the Civil War. Determined to make her own way, she leaves her small Missouri town and heads west with nothing but a revolver, her wits, and a horse she bought with her meager savings. Along the way, she encounters: Eli Thompson, a charming but morally gray outlaw hiding from the law, who becomes an uneasy traveling companion. Sheriff Jonas Calloway, a relentless lawman who is tracking Eli but develops a grudging respect for Clara's resourcefulness. Native American tribes trying to protect their land from encroaching settlers. Dangerous terrain, harsh winters, and opportunistic bandits. The book's adventure comes from Clara navigating the challenges of frontier life-horseback chases, river crossings, train robberies, and tense negotiations with townsfolk and Native Americans. While it's full of daring moments, it's realistic for the 1860s: communication is slow, gunfights are deadly, survival is uncertain, and the culture of the time shapes every choice. Tone: Gritty, adventurous, and character-driven, focusing on survival, morality, and the tension between law and lawlessness in the Wild West.Завершенная история

Southern Charm
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations. While others her age are embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!
