Before he knows it Y/N rushes in to help him, taken back by the sudden help it doesn't take long for Arthur to notice Y/N can handle herself, but... what brought her to help him?

Little spoiler no one dies in this book, the events of how each character is saved you'll just have to read to find out. This is a slow burner for romance. This is my first book so I wanted to take my time with it, I hope you enjoy it. Romance starts to hit in chapter 15.

Saddle Dust by CelichK

Casey Long is an outlaw with a storied past and troubles finding her at every turn. When she is shot in a saloon during what some townsfolk describe as a random attack, Casey remembers some very important details from her childhood which ultimately lead her down a trail she hasn't walked in years. Along the way, Casey loses family and finds it again all the while trying to make a living off of the banks and innocent passersby she robs, usually with a bottle of whiskey nearby. It's a modern twist on old western literature tradition, but frankly, it's just more badass. ;) If you're a fan of Red Dead Redemption (#sadieadler), then this story is for you. I hope you enjoy my story. It's nearly complete and I will update as I go along. Please comment if you have suggestions or anything. Thanks!

Vows of Returning: A Red Dead Redemption 2 Story ( Arthur Morgan xOC ) by goodbyelisahoney

Arthur Morgan x OC: "Take a boozy short leave of your nymphs on the shore, and silence their mourning with vows of returning, though never intending to visit them more." After a near-deadly shootout in Valentine, Arthur Morgan retreats to a wooded cabin to lick his wounds and recover. But the reclusive woman he meets there causes him to question everything he believes in, and all of the people he holds dear. Does she have secrets of her own that she's hiding? ** Hi all; this is a little RDR2 romance (Arthur x original character) story. It follows the events of the game for the most part (meaning there are some spoilers, if you haven't finished the game yet!), but there are some changes/additions. Of course, all RDR2 characters/settings are Rockstar Games. Hope you all enjoy and would love to hear your thoughts. This story was completed September 18, 2021. A content warning: depictions of sex, violence, swearing, and other mature themes.

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.

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️ by Soulwithapen

"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night. What harm can one night do? It can change lives. Turn best friends into enemies. Turn someone's life upside down. Emily Waters and Ryder Green, were inseparable, joint to the hip, always had each others back and loved each other behind the best friend facade. But one night changed it all. He thinks he has changed for worse but what he doesn't know is that Emily has changed for the worst.

Saving Grace by allie7

"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?
