Maggie Mae Becker never asked to become the backbone of a cattle exchange. But in the wake of heartbreak, routine became her refuge and hard work her armor. At the Red Prairie Cattle Exchange in rural Nebraska, she's known for steady hands, sharp instincts, and a quiet kind of grit that holds a place together without asking for credit.
But when a smooth-talking stranger offers her more than a paycheck-offering autonomy, ambition, and escape, Maggie faces a slow-burning reckoning. To take the opportunity could mean turning her back on the people who raised her, trusted her, and depended on her.
Set against the dust and dignity of the Midwest, this is a story of loyalty, quiet faith, and the unseen threads that pull a soul home.

The Wolf, The Ranch, And The Shadows
River's Howl They were taken. Stolen from the safety of their world. Locked in a place where voices spoke too calmly, where hands held too tightly, where every breath felt like a risk. But Rain and Colt escaped. Through the shadows. Through the fear. Through the relentless grip of desperation-chased by something worse than the night itself. And they weren't alone. River-silent, unshaken, watching-had followed. Had led. Had protected. Now, in the heart of the wild, every step forward is a fight for survival. Every breath is a reminder of what lurks behind them. Every second brings them closer to home-if home still exists. Because they weren't the only ones watching. Because some things refuse to let go. And because River's howl doesn't just echo into the night-it warns of what's coming next. The book start getting good at chapter 9, the first 8 are mainly background. -------------------- Author's Note This book takes place during Rain's 3rd through 5th grade years, a time when she was homeschooled on the ranch before transitioning to public school. Her education wasn't just about coursework-it was about survival, resilience, and the lessons of life itself. Rain and Colt experience trauma that no one should ever endure, yet their journey isn't defined solely by hardship. This story explores their incredible strength, the ways they cope, and how they navigate the shadows of their past while holding onto hope for the future. Through pain, they find resilience. Through loss, they find understanding. And through each challenge, they discover a part of themselves that refuses to break. I truly hope you connect with their story, and I appreciate you being part of this journey. I'm already working on the next installment, and I can't wait to share it with you. Thank you for reading.Terminé
Even the Wildflowers
When Callie Morgan's husband walks out without a word, she's left with a broken heart, two young children, and a crumbling farmhouse out in the countryside her grandparents once called home. With no plan and no one to rely on but herself, she does what she's always done-she survives. But healing isn't easy when everything reminds her of what she's lost... until a quiet, sun-kissed cowboy named Colter Ridge steps in. He's rough around the edges, keeps to himself, and carries his own ghosts-but something about the way he sees her, steady and unafraid, begins to loosen the walls she's built. As the seasons shift and wildflowers bloom through cracked soil, Callie begins to find beauty in the mess, strength in the silence, and the kind of love that doesn't demand perfection-only truth. ****BOOK ONE, COMPLETE****Terminé
Untamed
"She's the fuse," Rowan muttered. "And we're all gonna burn." _____ Sadie Quinn didn't plan on ending up in a nowhere town like Deadwater, Texas. But running doesn't always come with options, just a half-charged phone, a bag over her shoulder, and a past she'd rather not look back at. She came for the job. A quiet cabin. A paycheck. A chance to feel like herself again. What she found were four men. Rhett, the cold, commanding boss with eyes like judgment and a voice like gravel. Colt, all sharp edges and low threats, the one who doesn't believe in giving space. Rowan, charming and reckless, always smiling like he knows what she's thinking. And Levi, the quiet one. Unreadable, intense... and the first to truly see her. They're not just cowboys. Not just ranchers. There's something darker behind those stares. Something dangerous under the surface of Hollow Creek. Sadie doesn't trust easily. But every day on that ranch pulls her in deeper. Toward secrets, toward heat, toward the kind of want that can burn everything down. She came here to escape. She might've just found the thing that finally undoes her. _____ Updating frequentlyTerminé
