He walked into a saloon.
He left behind silence, blood, and a story no one would ever tell the same way twice.
In a land ruled by reputation and revenge, one man doesn't speak unless it's already too late.
And when he does-someone's about to drink something they shouldn't.
_A Western soaked in smoke, myth, and the kind of violence that makes legends whisper._

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.
Echo
He was never supposed to be a voice. They wanted an Echo-silent, compliant, nothing more than a reflection of their design. But the boy they tried to unmake listened too closely. Learned too much. Refused too deeply. Answering a call he never understood, Echo stepped into a world that demanded he forget himself to survive. He didn't. Instead, he grew teeth. Chose war over obedience. Chose love over chains. Now, freedom costs blood, survival demands brutality, and devotion sharpens into something sacred and savage. He is not their Echo. He is his own. And he will never be silent again.Complete

SHADOWS OF BROTHERHOOD
He wasn't the favorite. He wasn't the golden child. But he was the one who bled. When everything around him begins to crumble-family, love, and the secrets of a buried past-Ryan is forced to face a darkness he thought he'd left behind. What happens when the person they never really understood... becomes the only one who can save them? But saving them comes with a price. And some prices leave scars that even time can't heal. A story of sacrifice, forgotten memories, and a boy who was never supposed to be the hero. The boy they misunderstood. The one who laughed the loudest to hide the silence inside. The one who acted tough because no one noticed when he was gentle. The one who was always "too much"-too angry, too lost, too broken to fix. He was the black sheep. The storm in a house that only wanted sunshine. The one they blamed but never truly understood. They didn't know he cried himself to sleep at night. Didn't know he whispered "I'm sorry" to the shadows of parents he lost too young. Didn't know he carried the ache of abandonment in his bones every day. And when he finally found the truth-when he discovered who murdered them- he didn't hesitate. Not once.Complete

Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. But when the past claws its way back, survival isn't enough - vengeance demands blood. Victoria learned how to stay quiet. Grief became her shadow, guilt her constant companion. It whispered in her ear that she should have been the one to die instead. Not her mother. Never her mother. If she had, maybe her father wouldn't have walked away, leaving them to fend for themselves. But silence is a fragile shield-and when the past resurfaces, dragging her into a world she barely escaped, she realizes staying quiet won't save her this time. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, behind rage, behind the monster his past made him. Forged by cruelty, built by betrayal, and fueled by rage, he became the kind of man other monsters feared. Scars became his armor. Violence, his language. He doesn't believe in mercy-only vengeance. Especially for the man who made him this way. Victoria was everything he had been taught to avoid - soft yet unbreakable, damaged yet defiant. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own, a past carved into her bones, a war waged behind tired eyes. She saw through him in ways no one else had ever dared, and he hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. He was chaos wrapped in quiet fury, a storm threatening to consume everything in its path. And yet, when she looked at him, she didn't just see the monster - she saw the man who had once fought to hold on to his soul. But love between two broken people is never easy. It's volatile. Cruel. A constant push and pull, neither of them willing to surrender, both too damaged to truly hold on. The closer they get, the more dangerous the stakes become. Yet, for all the ways they fought against it, they kept coming back to each other.Complete
The Man In The Poncho
In the blood-red dusk of the dying Wild West, a nameless cowboy rides alone, draped in a dusty poncho, shadowed by legend. He doesn't speak much-but when he does, the world listens. Some say he's a ghost. Others swear he's Death itself, walking the desert with a six-gun beneath his cloak and judgment in his eyes. After a deadly standoff, he spares a highway robber-only to teach him a lesson harsher than any noose. What begins as a tale of vengeance turns into a deeper journey of redemption, betrayal, and the strange friendship between the damned and the divine. Along the way, they cross paths with real outlaws, lost children, preachers with blood on their hands, and old warriors like Sitting Bull. But this isn't just a Western. This is a reckoning. A test of what it means to fall-and to rise again. Because sometimes, even Death gives second chances. But not third.Complete
True North
The year is 1889. Jesse McCall is a cowboy, running from his past after a bounty was placed on his head for a murder he had no part in. While traveling, Jesse picks up Truth, a small town preacher literally beaten down after standing up to the sheriff. With no where left to turn, the two of them travel north, out towards Utah and away from any danger that might follow them. But Jesse underestimates just how bad people want Truth dead, how harsh the desert can be, and how much his and the preacher's relationship would change on their journey.
Wanted The Outlaw
Some fires don't burn out - they become you. Jane was born in the dust of the Nebraska Territory, baptized in violence and raised beneath the boot of the God-fearing congregation. By the time she's a woman, she's no stranger to pain - or to running. Branded a criminal, hunted across the West, she trusts no one. Especially not men with law badges and silver tongues. Until she meets him. The sheriff is steady, haunted, too good for the territory that bred him. Without realising she is the outlaw that he's tracking, he offers her shelter during a storm - nothing more. But Jane has survived by reading men like maps, and she sees it in him: desire, reined in tight. Jane stepped closer. The sheriff's walls were plastered with her crimes - wanted posters, notes, crude sketches of her own face. And now Jane stood between them and the man hunting her. He'd brought whiskey. She smiled. "Tryin' to get me drunk, Sheriff?" His chuckle was slow. "Just bein' decent." She moved closer, each step a gamble. If he saw the posters in the lamplight, he'd surely recognise her. No. She had to keep him looking at her. Only her. A button slipped free. The sheriff's jaw tightened. "You don't have to do that." "I know," she said, and closed the last inch between them. It began slow, a breath shared, a thread pulled taut - then it snapped. His mouth met hers, rough and unrelenting. There was no tenderness, only heat. Her back hit the wall, her shirt slipped, and his hands roamed like fire. She had used her body as a weapon before. But this was surrender, too - fury and need burning under her skin. Outside, the storm battered the shutters. But the real storm was here. And through it all, Jane kept her eyes on the wanted posters above the bed. Her own face stared back. Wanted: The Outlaw is a work of historical fiction that dangles religion, redemption, and extremely steamy romance on the end of the hangman's rope.Complete
