i was (never) meant for peace - a Billy the Kid Story
"You're a hell of a drug, Marianne," he whispered against her hair. "And I swear to God, the biggest trouble I've been in." She smiled, her hand resting over his heart. "A drug? By any means poisonous?" "Far from it, my girl, far from it. But deadly regardless." 🌻 A simple western love story with a twist. Long. Slow burn. A comfort read. Death scenes typical of western dynamics. Nothing too mature in nature. Soft, some hurt and comfort, lots of adventure and mysteries, and everything I've always loved about fanfiction in general. Feel free to comment. Enjoy the show. :)Complete
Wildfire | Kayce Dutton • Yellowstone
If you were to ask me what if was like to fall in love with a cowboy, I would say it's like a wildfire. Once it starts, there's no way of stoping it. It burns you alive from the inside out. Consumes you, every part of you. At least that's how it felt for me when I fell for a cowboy, one who wasn't even mine and could never be mine because he belonged to somebody else and I'm left with figuring out how to put out this fire that is loving Kayce Dutton. ***** Darkness and tragedy was all Wren Wheeler knew from the day she was brought into this world. The only good thing in her life was her older brother, Rip. The one who saved her from the brutal ending their mother and younger brother weren't so lucky to escape from. She didn't believe they would ever have a chance of surviving out in the world. Not until John Dutton gave them a second chance at life, just as long as they swore to never bring their past with them to his ranch. The ranch where she found herself a family, a sister she never had, and a love she swore she'd never allow herself to experience. Because that kind of love was never meant for a girl like her. Kayce Dutton was never meant for her, and he could never be. They could never exist. Will destiny prove her wrong?

It's also written in country/western lingo so some things won't seem grammatically correct. Also, this book is based on the Wild West time period (1865-1895). Some of the places that will be mentioned in this book are fictional places I have come up with, others are (or were) real but may look different than they actually looked in history.

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

SING YOUR BODY ELECTRIC * Billy The Kid | Tom Blyth
"Safe," he breathed, every long-thrust promise branding her deeper than any bullet scar. "My girl-my stubborn, brave, beautiful girl-forever my girl." Eva Fairchild was born to silk parasols and blood-soaked cotton. When she helps enslaved friends escape her father's Mississippi plantation, she brands herself a traitor-and a price is set on her head. Captured by drifters and nearly sold to a brothel, she's ransomed by an exhausted gunslick with thunder in his eyes: William H. Bonney, the outlaw history will call Billy the Kid. Billy only means to put the skittish stranger somewhere "proper" before the law or his enemies catch his scent again. But six months of dust roads, bounty hunters, bad whiskey, and one too many nights sharing a torn canvas tent will turn good sense to smoke. He is too rough for her softness, she is too soft for his roughness-yet her quiet courage keeps saving his hide. They learn to trust each other's bodies long before they dare trust each other's hearts. But secrets drag behind them like tin cans on wedding ribbon. And when Eva discovers Billy's plan to leave her, thunder finally strikes. 🌹 This fic is Explicit / 18+ only. Minors, please step off the porch. Ride at your own risk-the trail gets dusty, the thunder gets loud, and the smut gets downright electric.
