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...

Wild Hearts
COMPLETED and EDITED with Grammarly. Raelynn Montgomery was a child genius, graduated high school at 14, undergrad at 15, graduate at 18, and doctorate in veterinary medicine at 21. I've had my life planned out since I was a child and everything is going according to plan, that is until my mom threw a wrench into my plans. I had no idea she married a new man and moved to Wyoming, she was supposed to be in Texas still working at her law firm. We were never close but she wants to change that now, she wants me to be apart of her new family with her new husband and his two sons. I had no idea the feelings that would develop for these two men... and their best friend. This is going to be interesting considering my past, the one boy that ruined relationships for me because of abuse. Can these 3 cowboys change my opinion on love? Copper Bishop, aged 34, a navy SEAL veteran with baggage from his time in the military. He's fiercely loyal and protective of his family. Rhett Bishop, aged 30, a navy fighter pilot veteran, lost half of his right arm serving his country faithfully. He's guarded and has a little hot headed when need be. Ezra Woods, aged 34, he's best friend's with Copper and Rhett having grown up together. He's the sheriff of the county that the Bishop Ranch is located in. Author's note: This book is loosely based off of Yellowstone, Copper is most definitely based off of Kayce from Yellowstone (love him so, so much) but Copper will be different in some ways. I'm kind of putting a mafia spin on it as well. This is a mature book, there will be sexually explicit scenes and the FMC (Rae) will end up with three (3) men. It is a why choose/reverse harem book. I will have a list of characters and probably a playlist listed, if you're not a country music/western music fan, ignore those playlist (lol). Please do not steal my work, I'm working really hard on this book.Complete
