Until one day, when she wakes up from her dream to realize she's in Silent Plains, Colorado - in 1873. Completely unsure of how or why she just time travelled, Eleanor needs to figure out quickly how to get back. It's almost midterms!

When a young woman mysteriously shows up in town alone, Matthew becomes distracted from arresting Jack Fuller and the Lager Gang. Will he save the town from their dangerous antics?

Godless Lands - Whitey Winn x Reader (F)
THOMAS BRODIE SANGSTER FANS COME HERE --- La Belle had always been a happy home. That was, until the accident. (Y/n) McNue, daughter of the town's Sheriff, grew up in the dust and warmth of a place where everyone knew your name - and your business. It wasn't much, but it was enough. Then the mine collapsed, and the men of La Belle were all lost in one day. In the wake of that loss, the women clawed their way through grief and grit, piecing together a life from the ruins. Their home feels empty. Their lives were changed forever. Now it has been two years, and a new storm brews. Frank Griffin - outlaw, killer, devil in a preacher's coat - is riding again. And Roy Goode, the man who betrayed him, is bleeding his way across the desert... straight toward La Belle. As old ghosts rise and new gunfire shatters the dust, (Y/n) must reckon with the deepest truths of who she is, what she's lost, and who she might still become. Because even the strongest faith can't always save you. Not here. Not in Godless Lands. ----- EEE this is a less done fanfic but it follows the plot of the Netflix Miniseries, Godless, with a little friends to lovers moment with (Y/n) McNue and our Deputy Sheriff, Whitey Winn. If using your own name for (Y/n) or creating an OC in your head, I'd recommend giving it a southern twang so you can really immerse into these character's westernness 😌 I do warn you about the grammar that you are going to encounter. It is meant to be this way, as I'm really trying to embrace the wild Wild West 😉 YEEHAWComplete

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.Complete

The Secret in East End [Agents of the Crown #1]
A FEATURED STORY IN HISTORICAL FICTION HIGHEST RANKING #7 in HISTORICAL FICTION --- Ellie had been undercover for most of her life. She had been a pickpocket for as far as she can remember, under the guise of Elliot. Any memory before the age of ten was blank in her head, with no recollection of how she had ended up under the charge of a gang of street rats as a child. Her life was meant to be mundane, as long as she remained under her secret identity. Until she tried to steal from the wrong pockets that is. --- Fabian Rothesay, the new Duke of Avondale, had spent the last 2 years rebuilding the coffers of his father, in order to ensure that the Avondale estate was not about to crumble around their feet. Taking over his father's spot as the Duke had not been an easy task, but in his doing so for the past 2 years, he has raised as one of the most eligible bachelors of the ton. What the ton doesn't know is that Fabian is biting to return to his previous life. What people believed to be a holiday around the continent, was actually Fabian's cover as he worked as an Agent of the Crown. His new status as a Duke however, did not make him want to step down as an Agent just yet, especially with a recent case that specifically embroils a series of planned heists within the ton. --- As the two are thrown together in a series of circumstances that was mostly chance, sometimes fate, and with a dash of secrecy, how would the turmoil change their lives?Complete

The Madam of Purgatory Reach
1870, Philadelphia, USA. Martha Whitcomb, the wild child of Philadelphia society, is now a grown woman, independent in wealth and in personality. At twenty-three, still unmarried and childless, she is exposed to constant rumors and ridicule, crushed by the ever-increasing weight of the sneers and jibes of her peers, and haunted by the failed engagement to the one who got away. Her dreams of becoming a successful businesswoman are blocked at every turn by the men around her, who are determined to smother the voice of a young woman intruding in their world. Realizing that she will never fit into the mold already set by society, Martha joins the droves of Americans heading west to the open frontier, a world that appears free from restraints, from convention, and from the expectations she has come to loathe. Upon her arrival to the growing town of Paradise Reach, she believes that she has indeed found her paradise. She soon realizes, however, why this town's inhabitants have dubbed it Purgatory Reach. She quickly learns that the west is free from the suffocating rules because it is a world more focused on immediate survival. It is a world where an insult could quickly escalate to a gunfight in the streets, a dangerous world crawling with outlaws, thieves, liars, and schemers. One of these outlaws is Jack Gatling, a rancher-turned-gambler. Escaping both demons of his own and the law, Jack came to Paradise Reach in hopes of making his fortune only to find himself focused on staying alive until tomorrow. In Martha, he sees an opportunity of his own, a chance to earn the riches he has been chasing. Martha knows she has two choices: return to Philadelphia with her tail between her legs and lock herself back in her gilded cage, or succeed in a world where women have few choices but to sell their bodies to make a living. Can Purgatory Reach again become Paradise? **Sequel to Dear Rhodora**Complete
