When her father gets attacked by bandits due to a gambling debt, Claire Conley realizes that she's in a deep hole. With her father bed ridden for months, and with no relatives to support her, she needs to work to survive and pay off his debt. But in late 1800's Montana, nobody on the Western plains is looking to hire a lady. Faced between life and death, Claire gets the great idea to find a job, but disguised as a man. If no one was going to hire her-they were going to hire him. What happens when she gets a job at the town's saloon? Will she be able to stand Shane Jackson, the obnoxious, yet handsome saloon owner? Will she be able to protect her father from the bandits who hurt him? Or will her plan not turn out as expected?

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. There's a place she belongs, one that's rightfully hers, but it's far beyond her ability to get to it on her own. One man steps forward to help, but can he be trusted? 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.

The Lawman (Historical Western Romance) by LilyGraison

On the run from her ex-lover... Jilted by a no-show husband... And now mistaken for a whore in the Diamond Back Saloon... Abigail Thornton doesn't think things can get any worse. That is until a single slap to a man's face starts a barroom brawl that lands her in the last place she expected to be. Town Marshal Morgan Avery wants nothing more than to wash away the trail-dust and sleep for a week, preferably with a soft, willing woman by his side. Instead, he gets Abigail Thornton - all one hundred pounds of her thrust at him seconds before a fist connects with his face. Breaking up the fight takes more effort than he wants to admit and when the last man falls he finds Abigail still standing and not looking the least bit contrite. Throwing her into the town jail for the night would salve his wounded pride and then he will let her go. Or that was the plan. When morning comes he finds himself oddly reluctant to do so. Miss Thornton is hiding something and he aims to find out what, even if he has to bed her to do so. But will one night in her bed be enough? *WARNING: This story contains smokin' hot love scenes. It is 'not' a sweet romance.*

Wildcat Mountain by SEViolet

Unable to remember the tragedy that left her orphaned, a little girl grows up in the wild backcountry of 1850 Colorado. Facing betrayal, greed, danger, and love, she must choose the kind of future she wants for herself. Safely hidden away, alone, and content, or learn to accept somethings are worth the risk. * * "I hear there was trouble in White Rock two days ago. Man by the name of Ludlow was shot dead in the street. He's a hired gun from Texas, talk is he tangled with Red Rivers and lost." Faith felt her heart quicken at the mention of his name and frowned. "Red River's? The gunfighter? Last I heard he was in New Mexico." "Not no more ma'am. Word about is he's got a price on his head and all the local guns who think they're salty enough are out to take him down." Her mind was whirling. Rivers was a wanted man; every hired gun in the territory would be after him, especially if there was a large reward involved. Where would he go, what would he do? Of all the stories she'd heard of Red, he was not a man to run from a fight.
