Mature
18 years old. Fear in her eyes. Legs aching. Hands shaking. Heart breaking. 

For years she's been running, will she ever be able to stop?

Saphira Midnight. Scarred by her past. But being very strong is her cover up, to hide her pain. But can one cowboy change all of that?

A cowboy who's different from all the others? One who's hands are clean, has a pure heart, one who's gentle, kind, and respectful of all life.

When a bullet to her ribs slows her down, both fates cross paths. Can Little Joe slow her down and convince all her running to come to a stop and to finally give her life a fighting chance for a new beginning?

I turn and glare at him for giving me such a fright but he just stands there staring at me, then his eyes trail from my head down to my toes and only then did I become aware of my barely clad body in my nightie and my cheeks turn pink, my hands immediately fly to my chest to try and cover my poking nipples but it didn't do a good job of hiding them at all. I look up at him to see him taking quick strides towards me and my eyes widen as he brings his big rough hands to cup my face leaning in to kiss me. He lips cover mine hungrily and roughly as it takes complete control of mine while I stand frozen to the spot unable to really comprehend that Jaxon Moore of all people is kissing me. ******************************* Regina Hernandez an innocent twenty year old girl who was kicked out by her foster family in the middle of the night two years back moves to another city to start a new life, she secures a job at an elegant mansion as a cleaner meeting the most deliciously beautiful man she's ever met.

[FINISHED] ____________________________________ Whenever a bad thing occurs, someone would always say "Look at the bright side!" or "Look at the silver lining!" They however, don't know that there isn't always hope in despair. If there is light, there is a shadow after all. As I like to say "Don't waste time. There may be no tomorrow". ____________________________________ William Adams, just about like any other normal person in this world. Though, what makes him stand out is that he is somewhat different, alluring even. But what does make him stand out? This person had a wish just like any other person his age after all... Being in love with another person that will also love them back. And did he find someone like that? Yes, he did. And maybe she did as well. Quite a love-struck couple those two were. If you saw them, you'd think they would have already married... Though, taken from the tragic tales of high school love... There is a reason it's called first love only. It is the first, but not the last. They split apart. He was 16 at the time. He couldn't eat properly for days. Cried endlessly for someone he lost. Though what was he crying for? She did not die after all... Ẃ̴̱̝̟͒́̊̽̔͛̐̒̀̐̈́͌̾ȩ̶̨̗̫͈͈͓̮͕́̓̌͊͗̑͒̐i̸͎̰̟̳̰̪͚͕̪̮̯̫͇̎̈́̈̎͜r̷̡̠͚̳̮͕̭̪̬͉̥̈́͌̍̍̆̅̌͂̌̎͛̚͜ͅḑ̸̱͕͒̓̐. And as in all things of life, everything is not permanent. Nothing stays still. Time is linear, It will always move forwards. He just about turned 18. Studying in college, Met someone new, and has a supportive friend... It seems he has reached the "Silver Lining" in his story. Unbeknownst to him though, He is yet to see it.

When Dalton McCoy fell in love and got married, he figured that it would be forever. The cruel world has other plans that left him a widower and single father of an infant baby girl. He didn't have time to mourn or feel sorry for himself, his daughter Katie depended on him. For years it was just the two of them and he was happy, at least as happy as one could be after losing the love of their life. After an unexpected accident leaves him unable to work and under the care of the new physical therapist in town, Dalton struggles with the confusing feelings he has for this new woman in his life. He thought he'd lost his only chance at love, but could he get a second chance at his happily ever after? Elizabeth Norton came to Strawberry on a whim when her long-time friend offered her a position in the physical therapy department of the local hospital. She over-researched the community and knew it would be the perfect place to start new with her daughter Eva. After years of unsuccessful relationships, Lizzie accepted her fate as a single woman and decided to focus more on her career and living the best life for her and her daughter. It wasn't until she came toe-to-toe with a stubborn firefighter that she started to feel those sparks she started to think didn't exist. The problem? There were many. He was a patient, he was still grieving his wife, and neither of us were planning on opening our hearts. Was Dalton worth the risk? There is only way one to find out.
