On the Border is an adventure story that just might be the modernized version of a certain legendary Old West hero.  Jon Reid is a very honest man, and takes great pride in his job as a Texas Ranger.  When he dares to testify against a fellow Ranger, he is ostracized, mocked, and then exiled to a task force of rejects from several agencies.  Reid and his new team start scoring successes, and rack up some impressive arrests.  This draws the attention, and wrath, of a large drug cartel.  The task force is ambushed, and only Reid survives, found nearly dead by an Apache Army Ranger Veteran.  The two both have a strong sense of justice and decide the cartel needs to pay.  But with the cartel's influence and corruption spread so far, what can just two men do?

Well, when one of them is dead already, then, as the song goes, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."  The pair attack the cartel, raiding counting houses, drug distribution places, and bands of thugs.  Soon their legend begins to spread.  The cartel doesn't take them seriously at first.  After all, it's just an Indian and one, lone, ranger...Tutti i diritti riservati

~"When are you going to do what's best for you Sadie? All you ever do is what's best for Hallie and push your own wants and needs to the bottom of the pile and let it hurt everyone else in the process."~ Sadie Taylor has been back in her hometown for 6 short months. After leaving 11 years ago, it's fair to say that her life now is a 180 spin on the free innocent teenager she left as. With her 9 year old daughter, Hallie, in toe, Sadie needs to find a new kind of normality where se can release the reins of control and learn to let go a little. She's more than happy taking things at her own pace. Hoping that if she moves slow enough, she can keep her and her daughter in their own little bubble that has kept them safe all these years. But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?

Breaking Boundaries (5th in Breaking Series) di conleyswifey

**Be aware that this is a manXman story so if that bothers you then please don't read! 5th in Breaking Series. There are certain things that make a man a man in late 1870's Texas. Being able to rope, ride and handle cattle to name a few. Shooting from the hip, playing poker and throwing back whiskey never hurt either. Nick could do all those things but none of that would matter if anyone knew the truth about him-if anyone knew his secret. So to protect that secret, Nick keeps to himself as he works on the ranch at Atkinson Spread. He likes his job and the bosses are decent but Nick is lonely. Covered in scars, both of the physical and emotional variety, he longs for one person he can truly be himself around. That one person he can love. Aiden is running. He's been running since his family realized what he was, called him an abomination and cursed him to death. Bakerstown Texas is where his legs and his will to run finally give out. Somehow he finds himself hired on to work at Atkinson spread though he knows nothing about cattle. He has already resigned himself to a life alone but that thought goes out the window when he lays his eyes on a ranch hand named Nick. Even then, Aiden knows he can't have Nick. Nick doesn't seem to suffer from the same condition that Aiden was born with and so there's not a lot Aiden can do about his attraction to the other man. Until a night at the saloon goes a bit too far...... Can these two men be together or will their secret be found out and their disease dealt with the frontier way?

The Dancer And The Hitman di lonely_dovexx

23 year old Zamora King has been a stripper since she realized that the life at her 'home' wasn't the one she thought looked right. Her mother had married a wealthy, powerful French man who didn't exactly advertise what he did to earn the kind of respect he was given. After a tragic accident that caused the death of her mother, Zamora took the opportunity and fled. But what will happen when she meets a stranger at her workplace, charming her without so much effort, but not knowing what will happen if she got close? Oh, she wanted to get close. She just didn't know that going deeper will make her relive the trauma of her past. 33 year old Christian Knight has wanted to resign from the CIA's 'underground' agency (The Jacks) ever since he even agreed to being one of their puppets. But he didn't exactly have a choice. After leaving the military in his early twenties, he was almost immediately cornered by operatives who wanted to make use of his skills and stop criminals that mostly had the ability to slip through the CIA's fingers. When he does actually resign, his loyalty is suddenly questioned and put under a skeptical eye after he meets a particular woman in a strip club-where his last job as a Jack was-and takes an interest in her. Their daily texting and occasional calls are put under surveillance by the CIA itself, and some unknown organization after they find out that the girl Christian had swept off her feet, was somehow connected to the biggest underground criminal organization to be created in Europe. Things complicate things, and these two must find a way to survive and prove their innocence.

Alex Landon Starter Library: "The Sampler" di GavinTheCop

This contains one chapter from three difference Alex Landon stories to give readers a sample of my writing and the characters from this series. OPERATION BARRICADE Arizona drug task force detectives and SWAT teams begin using coordinated, small-unit military tactics to combat human trafficking and narcoterrorism, and quickly make several multimillion dollar seizures. When the Mexican drug cartels retaliate by viciously targeting the officers and their families, how can the cops protect the community while fighting to defend themselves? THE RECIDIVIST Homicide detectives identify the lone suspect in a heinous double murder as the victims' son, a recently paroled meth-addict, adamantly professes his innocence and blames an unidentified killer. As politicians, police administrators, and the victims' family demand the ex-con's immediate conviction, mounting conflicts force detectives to question both his guilt, and their moral and legal obligations to investigate exculpatory evidence. THE TOXIN Cops investigate a series of seemingly unrelated mass murders caused by an unknown biotoxin. As hundreds frantically work to identify the agent and its antidote, the unidentified suspects begin targeting cops, prosecutors, and judges with such ferocity that law enforcement must choose between protecting the public and protecting itself.

The Good Days. di Trafalgarlawsgf

The year is 22XX, and the city of Border is a neon-lit landfill of moral decay. The elite, known as The Days, rot in their gilded towers while the rest of humanity coughs blood and smog in the tunnels below. Everyone's corrupt, everyone's disgusting, and somehow everyone still manages to owe protection money to the wrong asshole. Enter Jarek Wojcik- a twenty two year old, 7 foot 2 serial killer with a busted chainsaw and a mouth filthier than the drains he showers in. Known as The White Death, Jarek's hobby (besides being violently horny and annoyingly alive) is cutting down Border's worst criminals, slumlords, and government pigs like it's an Olympic sport. He's cocky, vulgar, loud, illiterate, and a big asshole in more ways than one. The one person keeping him alive (and barely tolerating him) is Rykers [Name], a reclusive 20 year old scientist/inventor who hasn't left her underground bunker in half a decade. She is quiet, brilliant, brilliant, socially awkward, and unfortunately the only one patient enough to fix his weapons, stitch his wounds, and letting him crash on her couch. Together, the unhinged killer and the shut in genius stumble through the neon guts of Border, dodge government crackdowns, rival gangs, and their own slow-burn, deeply toxic (yet strangely sweet) relationship. Expect blood. Expect guts. Expect everything because nothing is off the table when there's Good Days. Disclaimers on the next page!!!
