Wyatt Ledger has spent his life running - from the city, from his past, from the blood on his hands. But some sins don't stay buried, and some ghosts don't forgive. Fleeing to the vast plains of Texas, Wyatt hopes to find quiet work and anonymity beneath the wide, merciless sky. Instead, he finds them - the Ghost Riders that hunt him through dreams and dust, whispering his name in the wind.
Then he meets Jesse - a bull rider with a crooked grin and eyes full of thunder. Jesse's got secrets stitched beneath his skin, old wounds that ache with more than pain. He recognizes the shadows in Wyatt, maybe because he's been dancing with his own for far too long.
As the two men's lives intertwine amid rodeo lights and restless spirits, love flares between them - fragile, fierce, and forbidden. But when the ghost riders draw closer, Wyatt must decide whether to keep running... or turn and face the darkness that refuses to let him go

Blood Bourbon
A down to earth cowboy with a past is thrown into the supernatural world, when he falls for a vampire who has demons of his own. Daryl's a bullfighter on the national circuit, stretching his pay check as far as it will go between himself and his brother's farm back in Texas. He also has the misfortune of being incredibly unlucky in love and stumbles into the wrong bar trying to forget a night he can only half remember. The bartender tells him to not go looking for trouble, but amongst the dark shadows and beautiful faces, it finds him in the form of Ryker. Ryker isn't known for being a nice guy. He's got a line that most people would believe is too malleable, but he is one of the good guys. Always shooting off his mouth at the wrong time or getting himself into fights he should avoid (but can handle) he sees the cowboy and goes in search of a fight. But neither man is prepared for the battle of wills and emotions that ensue from their broken attempts at understanding whatever it is that draws them together time and again. The more Daryl is drawn into Ryker's dark world, the more obvious it is that the Cowboy's half forgotten past may be more related to the shadow games and machinations of the very agency that has been trying to kill Ryker and the rest of the supernatural world for decades now. Mature themes. Violence, Swears. (Based in the universe of @Whiskeyjanedoe 's Breaking series. This is a little more than a love story) cover by @whiskeyjanedoeComplete
Poor Billy
In the sun-scorched plains west of Lincolntown, a promise becomes a desperate mission when cowhand Randall Geets watches his young friend Billy succumb to a virulent pox. As death's shadow falls, Billy has one final request: to be buried properly in hallowed ground, not burned and forgotten like so many plague victims before him. For Randall, this simple promise awakens the ghosts of his past-memories of his sister Pollyanna and his family, all claimed by the same merciless disease years ago, their bodies and memories reduced to ash. When the townspeople refuse to help, fearing contagion, Randall makes a fateful decision that will test the limits of friendship, sanity, and his own mortality. As reality blurs with nightmare, Randall must confront not only the physical toll of his quest but also the demons of his own guilt-ridden past. In this dark yet redemptive tale that blends horror with heart, the most profound act of loyalty may be the one that costs everything-but brings peace to both the living and the dead.Complete

If You Die, I'll Haunt You
When Nell lights the candle beneath the crooked oak at Rough and Ready, she doesn't just summon a ghost-she awakens a past life she can't escape. In San Francisco, she wears velvet and pearls, the dutiful wife of a gentle scholar. But in the foothills of Nevada County, she is something else entirely: a courier, a healer, and the only woman bold enough to stitch up Jesse James himself. He is outlaw and legend, flesh and shadow, a man the world already believes half-dead. She is torn between the safety of velvet lies and the fire of a kiss that feels like destiny. Bound by a silver coin wrapped in red thread, their fates entwine across raids, betrayals, and the echo of bullets in canyon walls. But when Nell swears, "If you die, I'll haunt you," she means it. And some vows run deeper than life itself. A gothic outlaw romance of love, myth, and the price of freedom-If You Die, I'll Haunt You will leave you haunted long after the last page. **If you would like your own copy for Kindle, you can get it over at Amazon along with my other works that are not posted here! **Complete
Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault.
