In the time of the cowboys and the U.S. expansion West, French prostitutes were deported out of France and some moved the West to become a real hit with American cowboys, settlers, miners, etc. because there was so few women.
So France, a prostitute in the West, gets a "visit" from a cowboy America

Though it turns out this madame no longer had any French girls in her pay, she grudgingly names two nearby brothels that the Count had visited in the past, places where he could find someone of Frances’ description. She asks if Alfred would like to stay here in the company of one of her girls - for a price, of course - but he declines the offer, stating that he must leave.
“You’re a queer one,” she says, shaking her head exasperatedly, probably irritated that he didn’t want to part with his money. “A whore isn’t worth being faithful to, no matter how pretty she may look in a dark room. You’ll break your heart over her, and even if you do find her, she won’t remember you out of the countless men she’s slept with. I’m telling you, boy, do yourself a favor and forget about her.”
Alfred clenches his fists, feeling the weight of the golden ring warm against his chest, the sum of his hopes and dreams. She may be right, but he believes in Frances, and most of all, he believes in them.“I thank you for the concern, ma’am, but I got to

The woman perches in the curve of a silver hoop suspended high above the stage on a length of twisted silken rope. She swings slowly back and forth, crooning softly in French, and Alfred squints up into the smoky darkness at her. Far below the sweet melancholy notes, lonely men carouse to their heart’s content, the serving girls keeping their cups filled while the whores keep their laps warm

“Oh, it’s you!” Alfred beams at the vaguely familiar face, his disappointment momentarily forgotten in the excitement of finding someone he recognizes. He reaches out and shakes the man’s free hand heartily, while the man stares at him in surprised amusement

And yes, he has been in love before, long ago, he would fall in love every night and out of love the next morning, and he knows love hurts and that is why he wants to spare this young man from the pain. But those gorgeous blue eyes are looking at him, pleading, and he can not say no, as much as he needs to. He will hate himself for lying to Alfred again, but if the fact that he was a murderer didn’t scare him away

A week, then a month passes by in comfortable companionship, though Alfred eventually gets over his fear of ghosts, he still finds an excuse to sleep in the same bed. He even manages to enter the room without blushing too much, and while Frances never really leaves his mind, her absence doesn’t hurt as much as it used to. Every now and then, Alfred takes a job working as a spare cow hand for the cash, and when he gets home, Bonnefoy has made him his favorite meals. Their conversations over wine or whiskey are pleasant, and sometimes when they’ve had a bit too much, they tell each other outrageous lies and laugh and drink until they have to lean on each other to get upstairs to bed. Despite his being obviously French, Bonnefoy proves to be a wonderful friend and confidante, and Alfred thanks his lucky stars for this, even though he is not able to find the love of his life, at least he is not alone

This is so lovely! I really enjoyed reading this. I love how they formed a quiet companionship before Alfred discovering about Francis' identity, and the ending is beautiful.
A--anon would really like to read a sequel from Francis' point of view, or a post-revelation sex scene orz;;;.
