Title story: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐎𝐟 𝐀𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞
She was beautiful, with dark ebony skin and a short, thick mane of ash-colored and brown hair. Her cheekbones were high and prominent and her jawline was sharply defined. Her plump lips and thin yet sharp eyebrows lent her a goddess-like air.
But her life was full of torment and heartbreak.
She wanted death to finally release her, but she was condemned to satisfy the grim reaper's lustful desires.
With each transaction she made, she knew she was trading away more and more of her remaining time.
How much would this sacrifice cost her?

He was smoking his cigarette while staring at me on the roof top of the demonically rich kids' school, ready to fall to my death.

"You know my sister tried to do this,"

 He spoke, his voice dripping with coldness, and a menacing stare burned into my soul and walked up to me as I was shivering in the rain, sniffling and crying with red, swollen eyes.

His presence caused my spine to tingle with fear as his dark eyes stared me down and a frown creased his face.

He threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped on it, breathing in and out to recover from the cold weather.

"So? What does that have to do with me?" I responded, a note of annoyance evident in my voice.

"She sold her soul to the grim reaper for death. She always told me she regretted it and sometimes she doesn't because he saved her. 

"W-Who's her grim reaper..."

I didn't want to talk to this hot, weird-ass stranger who was in my business, but I was too curious to keep quiet.

"Her husband."

"Why are you telling me this?"

I said, my voice dripping with worry as he smiled in a terrifying way.
The darkening of his eyes sent shivers down my spine, slightly open my mouth.

"Sell your soul and life to me for the return of death"

Western Heat by MustangSabby
40 parts Complete Mature
A fish-out-of-water story about a New York City chef who inherits a ranch, discovers a family he never knew, and finds unexpected love with a fiercely loyal woman. For fans of western romance superstars like Lyla Sage and Elise Silver. New York City chef Jake West had it all, but a few strokes of a pen meant no more marriage. No more restaurant. No more big city lifestyle. Then he receives a call explaining that his long-estranged father, Brett, has died, and he needs to return to the Canadian ranch he left as a child. Jake expects to go, sign more papers, and return to the city and rebuild his future. Instead Jake learns that Brett's left the ranch to him-and only him. Things might have been hot in his restaurant's kitchen, but that's nothing compared to what he faces now: a family he didn't know existed, and a property he doesn't want. Tanner and Brady, his half-brothers, don't want him around. And while his stepmother, Peony, welcomes him, there's Liz, Peony's daughter. She's not a West, but her loyalties lie with the family, not an outsider. However, as Jake settles into the rhythms of the ranch, he wonders if he's finally found something that's been missing in his life-especially as he and Liz grow closer. At first, it's just attraction, but when a sudden kiss ignites a heat in both of them, they can't ignore this raging inferno. Maybe Brett West knew what he was doing when he summoned his eldest son back home-and gave him a chance to change his life forever. This is Book 1 of the West Line Ranch Series. Book 2 - Western Connection and Book 3 - Western Flame, are currently available to read on Wattpad In bookstores January 20th, 2026!
