Summary
Last Christmas broke Shelby Goodkind’s heart. This Christmas, she’s running for student government president, competing against her influencer ex, and making a very strategic decision about her public image.
Toni Shalifoe is not polished. She’s blunt, stubborn, and deeply unimpressed by Shelby’s holiday enthusiasm. Unfortunately, she’s also magnetic, impossible to ignore, and exactly the person Shelby needs for her plan.
Fake dating was supposed to be simple.
Christmas has other ideas.

Summary
“I’m not nervous. I’m—apprehensive.” She sees Arya roll her eyes but soldiers on anyway. “I want everything to be ready.”
“We’re just going to a wedding.” Arya cocks her head. “We’d just have to deal with courtiers, a few young pups, their vassals, some servants—” Her sister’s eyes cut to hers with the sharpness of a knife. “And the Tyrells, of course.”
Sansa tenses, and Arya’s eyebrow twitches. She’s been caught out, and they both know it. The Tyrells are the reason for her anxiety–one Tyrell specifically.
OR
The war is over, the whitewalkers defeated and Circe Lannister is six feet under in the dirt. It's time for Sansa Stark to find a spouse.

Summary
Toni Shalifoe was solid against her back, the two of them were pressed together in the saddle like palms in prayer. The whole world had narrowed to that point: the two of them astride Toni’s palomino, the jagged patch of horizon ahead, the deafening roar of hooves beneath them.
Toni snaked her left arm around Shelby’s middle and held her steady. “Whatever you do, Shelby Goodkind,” Toni’s voice was fervent and low against her neck and Shelby felt the vibrations of her voice everywhere. “Do not look back. Eyes on the horizon. Hear me?”
“I hear you.”
--It's 1883, and tragedy and rumor drives preacher's daughter Shelby Goodkind from her home in Fort Travis to the frontier town of Eve's Landing, where she searches for a fresh start but instead finds notorious gunslinger, Toni Shalifoe.
But when a mysterious figure from Toni's past returns to exact revenge and Shelby finds herself caught in the middle, it's up to Shelby to decide which path she wants to take: the quiet life she was born for or the wild exhilaration of being by Toni Shalifoe's side?
Wild West AU.
