Fools' Gold
In the shadow of Colorado's jagged peaks, Lake City clings to survival-its boomtown glory long faded, its people hardened by flood, fire, and failure. Eli Grant arrives looking for honest work, but honesty is hard to keep in a place where desperation breeds betrayal. Forced to toil in the unforgiving Isolde Mine, where pay is a distant promise and survival hangs by a thread, Eli stumbles upon an abandoned shaft hidden deep in the mountainside. Driven by resentment and hunger, he hatches a dangerous plan: to steal high-grade ore from the mine and hide it in the abandoned tunnel. He tells himself it's only fair-after all, the mine owner, Jeb Carlin, hasn't paid him a dime. But in a town where ambition burns hotter than the forge and trust is as rare as a gold vein, secrets don't stay buried for long. As Eli's stash grows, so does the risk. When another man discovers the hidden ore and spins his own tale of newfound riches, greed, and deception spiral out of control. Soon, the mountain itself becomes a battleground, and the promise of wealth leaves neither man untouched.Complete

The Last Draw
An outlaw love story with bite. Cassidy "Copper" Lane doesn't do trust, not after what the world's taken from her. She rides solo, shoots straight, and keeps her scars where everyone can see them-so no one dares get close. Then Arthur Morgan shows up. Van der Linde gang enforcer. Too serious. Too smart. And way too good at peeling back the walls she spent years building. Thrown together by bad luck and worse timing, Cassidy and Arthur navigate bullets, bounty hunters, and betrayal on the fading edge of the Wild West. She's got a sharp tongue. He's got a quiet kind of storm. Together, they're either the perfect disaster or the last chance either of them has at redemption. Witty, brutal, and full of heart, The Last Draw is a gritty western romance where survival means keeping your gun loaded-and maybe, just maybe, letting someone in. Inspired by the world of Red Dead Redemption II, this gritty tale of survival, revenge, and redemption is a must-read for fans of Western epics and slow-burning romances.
