IF ANYONE ENDS UP READING THIS LMK IF ITS GOOD OR IF I SHOULD CONTINUE IT🙏🙏
He is a man of violence, greed, and cunning, running from the law and the ghosts of his past. Crossing into Louisiana with nothing but a horse, a journal, and the weight of every mistake he's made, he rides through forests and rivers, observing a world that moves steadily while he scrambles for survival.
But when he glimpses the lives of the oppressed, the cruelty of a system that treats human beings as property, something stirs in him. Not heroism, not saintly virtue, just a spark of conscience, a thread of honor, a small measure of mercy in a man otherwise shaped by selfishness and fear.
In a land where danger lurks behind every tree and every shadow, he must navigate lawmen, bounty hunters, and his own violent instincts to carve a place where he can act on this fragile morality. Slowly, imperfectly, he discovers that even a bad man can choose to do right, that is, if he's willing to risk everything.

Not for any of the logical reasons such as his ability to cause her a great deal of pain or kill her.

And Bennetts don't last long on his soil. But when Fable shows up, cornered and broken yet stubborn enough to fight back, she stirs something in him he thought was dead. Danger circles closer. Family ties turn to poison. Secrets burn hotter than wildfire. And in the middle of it all, Ridge makes her a deal-one that binds her to him in ways neither of them saw coming. She came here to hide.

This idea of a story started when me and my buddy sat at a campfire and made fake western accents and eventually created these characters, we were so invested that we decided to write this story together. Making this story was a blast, and the nights we spent writing this story when we should have been asleep because we had classes in the morning I have now lost count of. But to all those who read all 3 parts to this tale, or even take some time to check out the first few parts. I thank you for giving the time to check out the passion project that brought me and my buddy closer than ever.Concluída
Southern Charm
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations. While others her age are embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!
