**Book Teaser - *Rust and Wildflowers***
When Olivia Hart leaves behind the noise of the city for the whispering wilds of Alaska, she expects nothing more than cold mornings, hard work, and the slow fading of her grandfather's days. But the farm holds more than memories-it holds Rudy Pankow, the quiet, broad-shouldered farmhand who's been there longer than the winters themselves.
For ten years, Rudy's life has been rooted in the same soil-steady, simple, and safe. Then Olivia arrives like a storm, stirring up what he thought was long buried. She's too young, too wild, too untamed for the life he's chosen. And yet, when the Alaskan nights grow longer and the first snow falls over the rust and wildflowers of the fields, neither can ignore the pull between them.
In the land where survival demands strength, love may be the most dangerous risk of all.

Farm Girl Meets Bad Boy (#1)
River Snow has always lived a normal, boring life, and she's sick of it. Being homeschooled, she has no outside life on her family's farm except for the neighbours that are a forty minute walk away. But one night, when mysterious Emery Hasting's appears inside of her barn, everything changes. WARNING: For strong language throughout, and mild violence. This is all unedited. I realize that there a lot of spelling and grammical errors. Things in the plot are extreamily novice and a lot do not make sense, for example, Emery's age because I decided to change it. Please bear with me and I'd prefer if you didn't comment on any of the above. Thanks!Complete

Milk Honey & Her
▪️COSY ROMANCE▪️ "Some things can't wait indeed..." Elias leaned just slightly closer. "But maybe some moments are worth bad timing," he murmured, his tone carrying a weight that made her chest tighten. "What do you mean?" Cora stifled a whimper. He let out a quiet breath, eyes still on hers as his hand fell to his side, "This moment. Us. It'll find its time." **** When Cora Whitmore leaves behind a high-stress publishing job and a broken engagement, all she wants is stillness. Inheriting her late aunt's ramshackle countryside cottage seems like a sign; from whom, she's not sure, but it comes with ivy-covered walls, creaky floors, and a garden overrun with wild things. Just across the fence lives Elias Tidley, a reclusive goat keeper who spends his days making goat milk soap, honeyed cheeses and speaking mostly to animals. Stoic, grounded, and unreadable, he's everything Cora isn't, and yet somehow, he sees her. Not the version she tried to be in the city, but who she is now: messy, uncertain, and just beginning to bloom again. With help from a few mischievous goats and a community that quietly welcomes her in, Cora starts to imagine a life made of early peaceful mornings, soft-spoken companionship, and small, steady joys. But as the seasons shift and their bond deepens, Cora must decide whether she's brave enough to stay. For the land, for herself and for the man who never asked her to change a single thing.? 🔅Rated PG: Suitable for all ages. ------------------------------------------------- Cover Photo: Edited by @KimberlyTanithMarie using an image from Canva © All rights reserved 2025 I DO NOT consent to my story being translated, copied or otherwise reproduced by anyone.Complete
Dust and Destiny
Time Frame: 1865-1869, immediately following the Civil War. Setting: The book is set across the plains and small frontier towns of Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado Territory, as railroads are slowly expanding westward. Lawmen, outlaws, and settlers are carving out lives in a raw, often unforgiving landscape. Plot: The story follows Clara Bennett, a daring and independent 22-year-old woman whose family lost everything in the Civil War. Determined to make her own way, she leaves her small Missouri town and heads west with nothing but a revolver, her wits, and a horse she bought with her meager savings. Along the way, she encounters: Eli Thompson, a charming but morally gray outlaw hiding from the law, who becomes an uneasy traveling companion. Sheriff Jonas Calloway, a relentless lawman who is tracking Eli but develops a grudging respect for Clara's resourcefulness. Native American tribes trying to protect their land from encroaching settlers. Dangerous terrain, harsh winters, and opportunistic bandits. The book's adventure comes from Clara navigating the challenges of frontier life-horseback chases, river crossings, train robberies, and tense negotiations with townsfolk and Native Americans. While it's full of daring moments, it's realistic for the 1860s: communication is slow, gunfights are deadly, survival is uncertain, and the culture of the time shapes every choice. Tone: Gritty, adventurous, and character-driven, focusing on survival, morality, and the tension between law and lawlessness in the Wild West.Complete
THE UNSENT LETTERS OF BOHEA

But when silence stretches too long, and hearts are pulled in opposite directions, the question lingers like mist on a still lake: Do some threads fray... or do they simply wait to be held again?Complete
