𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐒 ˢʰᵉˡᵇʸ ˢⁱˢᵗᵉʳ
"𝐎𝐡, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬." ( oc x oc ) 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 - the youngest Shelby sister was the only sibling that you could look at and say "no, she isn't related to those Shelby bastards." Although she shared the same brunette locks as her sister Ada and the same blue eyes as her brother Tommy, she did not share the same attitudes. Francesca was an anxious girl. And that only worsened when her brothers left for war. Her second eldest brother, Tommy, was a God in her eyes. She idolised him. Why? Nobody knew. But there was something about him. And for her.. Tommy loved her like she was his own daughter. They had a bond not even the strongest of men could destroy. They were cut from the same cloth. 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐑, - Francesca finds that her closest and only friend, George, a boy who came from the richer side of Birmingham, had returned from the countryside. He was the type of boy all the girls would fawn over. Golden hair and blue eyes. Except, he didn't care for any of them. He cared for his best friend: Francesca Shelby. Or - Frances, as he called her. He was her only friend. Being older and, well, liked by most, he found it was his duty to look after her during such a hostile time. But they seemed to be blind to the fact that they were more than friends. In some way, they were more. They didn't know it but everybody else did.

I'm your huckleberry (Tombstone 1993) (Doc Holliday X Reader)
The joys of modern inventions and miracles are often taken for granted. Your hungry or thirsty? Get something from the fridge or make it. You need to go somewhere? Drive or call an uber. Your hurt? Go to the doctor. Your bored? Watch a movie, play video games, watch videos on the internet, talk to people without ever leaving your house. Some much time is in our hands... but back in the 19th century... you wouldn't last very long. Diseases are rampant, gun violence is higher, no modern technology, barely any good medicine, almost all of your favorite food doesn't exist and most of the people are rude as hell. But... That doesn't mean all of them were so bad. Love was not something most people in this time really cared about. At least, in the town of Tombstone, Arizona. After falling asleep with a nice looking stone you bought at a small stand at the carnival, your whole world becomes the opposite. Six people from the past discover you unconscious and alone in the blistering heat and offer help but it was their help that let you meet the most amazing man you've ever met. John Henry "Doc" Holliday. *I am the one who took the picture. The cover. When I was on a cross-country road trip, we went to Tombstone, Arizona and I took that picture*Complete

The Lost Tribe: Enoch's Children Book 4
Neither Cory nor Thomas could imagine how a trip across the desert in a borroed 1992 Ford Explorer could end in a discovery that would rock the country. A broken drive shaft stranded them. The decision to hike home across sacred Indian lands took them to the glass canyon. The discovery of a wooden door in the wall of that canyon introduced them to a people who had hidden in the deep caves for a hundred and sixty years. The only possible danger would be to the people themselves. They would not be immune to diseases we take for granted. They would be confused by a civilization that passed them by. Their light-deprived skins would be easily burned by a sun they'd never seen. There shouldn't be any danger to the boys unless an old enemy sends an assassin to settle his vendetta with them. Such an assassin would be more devious and vicious than his master. The boys recognize him only after Salah, their mentor, is struck down in front of them. They have to dig deep for courage enough to survive and find justice for Salah and his family.Complete

Heart of an Outlaw *First in the Crane Gang series*
Gilliam Tomlinson had had to fight for every ounce of respect he had ever managed to gain from the Texas Rangers. His late father had been less than an honorable man and it seemed that despite Gilliam's attempts to distance himself from that memory, he carried his deceased father's legacy along with him like a heavy wool cloak he never could quite shake off. Then the chance he'd been waiting for fell right into his lap. A gang led by a mysterious outlaw who had so far evaded any notice had been wreaking havoc and stealing cattle from the rich land barons of Texas and they wanted it stopped. Gilliam's job was simple: infiltrate the gang, learn about their leader, gain their trust and then bring them down. It should have been easy. It should have been a simple, cut and dry operation... but Gilliam had never imagined the gang leader would have such fiery green eyes and he'd certainly never imagined the leader would be a man named Jeb who made his body heat up and his brain shut down. What follows is a struggle unlike any Gilliam has ever known. Law, order and duty tell him what he was supposed to do but there was something about that man, something about that life, something about the way he felt among those people that just felt right. Now he faced a choice. Listen to the code of a lawman or the heart of an outlaw.Complete
