A Time in the West.

LMShade
In a quiet desert town clinging to the edge of change, Anna Hernandez lives a life of routine and quiet strength. A seamstress at the unlikely dress shop Rosewood and Ribbons, Anna is no stranger to hardship — but her latest trouble threatens to drag her under. Caught in a dangerous debt to a violent outlaw named Silas “Silver Grip” Crowe, Anna must navigate a week of impossible choices if she wants to protect the only family she has left: her younger brother, Sammy. Beaten, threatened, and cornered, Anna refuses to let the town see her crack — not even Ambrose Quinn, her kindhearted boss, or Doctess June Hart, the enigmatic town healer with sharp eyes and secrets of her own. But as the deadline looms, Anna finds herself running out of time, and out of places to hide the truth. Set against the backdrop of a town where nothing stays still for long, A Time in the West is a character-driven gothic western about resilience, chosen family, and the high price of survival. Told in Anna’s fiercely honest voice, this story lays bare the tension between pride and vulnerability, loyalty and self-preservation — and the quiet bravery it takes to keep going when the world feels like it’s already written your ending.
