When Samuel Ottarson rescued Nellie from certain harm, he was dazzled by her beauty and soft touch. Remembering the harsh consequences of becoming involved with a member of the fairer sex, and the deceit and anguish a woman could cause, he quickly retreats from her. He needed to make it clear that he was out west for business and not to chase some bit of skirt who would ultimately break his heart.
Nellie Randolph is running for her life. Finally settling in Hughenden, she hopes for a new start. When she fails to find work as a governess, and with little more than the clothes on her back, she is forced into a life of pickpocketing.
As Nellie and Samuel continue to cross paths, their affection for each other grows until he catches her trying to steal from him. Events that evening become even more dangerous when Nellie finds herself on the run from a murderer. Samuel swears to protect her at all cost, taking her east to his cattle station - and unknowingly to the past she had sworn never to return to.
Nellie's hope for a new start with Samuel comes crashing down when her late husband's brother finds her, vowing to return her to the life of torment she had escaped. Fearful what lengths her brother-in-law will go to in order to stop her from revealing what she knew of his criminal past, she begins to doubt everyone around her - including Samuel and the love he claims to have for her.
When Nellie is charged with murder, Samuel does everything in his power to save her from the gallows. Will he lose everything to save the woman he loves, or will he find all his efforts to win her freedom, and her heart, are in vain?
Warning: contains sex, strong language, and some violence.

Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness.

As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete

The Grean Household
"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland.

From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?
