ADAM BEDE (Completed)
Adam Bede, the first novel written by George Eliot (the pen name of Mary Ann Evans), was published in 1859. It was published pseudonymously, even though Evans was a well-published and highly respected scholar of her time. The novel has remained in print ever since and is used in university studies of 19th-century English literature. The story's plot follows four characters' rural lives in the fictional community of Hayslope-a rural, pastoral and close-knit community in 1799. The novel revolves around a love "rectangle" among beautiful but self-absorbed Hetty Sorrel; Captain Arthur Donnithorne, the young squire who seduces her; Adam Bede, her unacknowledged suitor; and Dinah Morris, Hetty's cousin, a fervent, virtuous and beautiful Methodist lay preacher.Complete
Yellowstone: The Silence Between Screams
Cassidy was a ghost before the Duttons found her-barely seventeen, all scars and silence, with no record of her existence before age five. She doesn't speak of where she came from. But when Rip Wheeler stumbles across her on the edge of the ranch, bleeding and half-conscious, he brings her back-against every instinct but one: protect her. What begins as a reluctant act of mercy turns into something deeper as the Duttons start unraveling the truth. Cassidy's file, pulled by Jamie, reveals a history soaked in horror-sealed hospital records, sterilization at thirteen, SA reports, forced silence by the system, and a father among her abusers. She was supposed to disappear. She didn't. Now, the Dutton Ranch becomes more than just a place to heal. It becomes a battleground for Cassidy's survival, and maybe... her redemption. But healing isn't quiet. It's angry. It's raw. And it's coming for everyone who ever hurt her. ⚠️ Trigger Warnings: This fanfiction contains graphic references to childhood sexual abuse, trafficking, rape, self-harm, forced sterilization, eating disorders, PTSD, mental health struggles, violence, and systemic failure. While not all scenes are shown in graphic detail, the themes are intense, realistic, and emotionally heavy throughout. Reader discretion is strongly advised.Complete

The Edge of Misery: The Mitchel Brothers Series Book Two
** Picks up where The Edge of Hell (Mitchell Brothers Series Book One) left off** If there's one thing Declan Mitchell learned from watching his mama almost die from the heartbreak of losing his daddy to a war nineteen years ago, it was that a great and powerful love delivered an equally devastating heartbreak and suffering-the kind he had every intention of avoiding like the bubonic plague. And until traveling west to Idaho Territory and coming face to face with the mismatch-eyed, auburn-haired beauty, Wren McCrawdon, he believed he might succeed in carrying out his plans of never marrying. Molded by her traumatic journey west when she was twelve, twenty-four-year-old, accident-prone Wren McCrawdon's life on her family's ranch in Falcon Ridge, Idaho, is full of back-breaking work, beginning as dawn's first rays peek across the mountains and ending long after the sun sets when she can barely drag her weary bones up the stairs to her bedroom. But from the morning Declan Mitchell and his family arrive, her miserable existence becomes more bearable until tragedy strikes when all she sees are the harsh realities of loss and suffering. Concerned for Wren's safety and remembering how bitter the edge of misery was after his daddy died-Declan discovers he's willing to do anything he can to take it away from her... even if it means a marriage of convenience is the only suitable solution. There are only two problems: first, it's already apparent he's following in his mama's footsteps toward eventual heartbreak, and second he somehow has to convince Wren to agree.Complete
