"Wives sleep with their husbands. Ain't nothing dirty about it."

She ran from disgrace. He lived in silence. Neither expected to find comfort in each other-let alone love. 
Clara Mae O'Sullivan has always been too much-too opinionated, too bookish, too unmarriageable. When she flees her privileged but suffocating life, bruised and disgraced, she finds unexpected refuge in the quiet company of William "Billy" McCarty-horse trainer, ex-convict, and a man known more for silence than kindness.

He offers her shelter. She offers him a chance at something he never wanted: companionship.

But on the harsh frontier of 1880s Colorado, love doesn't arrive with grand declarations-it grows slowly, in the warmth of shared chores, the hush of a snowstorm, and the quiet promise of a steady hand.

"You love me, don't you?" "Yeah. I reckon I do."

A tender, slow-burn historical romance about finding home in the most unlikely place-and in each other.

Yellowstone: Worn Leather & Wild Hearts by inkandscarsjess

Dakota doesn't need saving-she needs space to burn and a place to bleed. At sixteen, she's already lived more than most grown men: running from foster homes, sleeping in truck beds, learning how to fight to survive. Her grandfather sends her to the one place that might still have a chance at saving her-the Dutton Ranch. No second chances. No handouts. Just grit, sweat, and silence. There, Dakota meets Jesse-a younger ranch hand who refuses to back down from her walls. She pushes, he stays. She bites, he bleeds. Slowly, against her instincts, she starts to trust. Starts to belong. But the bunkhouse doesn't forget where you came from. And neither does your past. Through scars, fire, branding irons, barn kisses, and loyalty carved in dust and blood-Dakota learns the hardest truth: Healing doesn't mean weakness. Love doesn't mean losing yourself. And family doesn't always share your blood. A slow-burn Yellowstone romance full of fight, fury, and finding home in the last place you'd expect.

The Traitor's Wife by MaryRose_Author

My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.
