"They always said Dutton blood ran thick-but no one ever told me how much it could cost you."
Seventeen-year-old Rowan Dutton grew up under Montana skies and the shadow of a family name soaked in power, violence, and legacy. They raised her tough, raised her smart, raised her to ride and rope and never flinch. But nothing prepared her for the moment she stepped in front of a bullet meant for her grandfather.
Now, caught between life and death, Rowan's mind drifts through memories of the ranch, the people who shaped her, and the scars she kept hidden.
Twelve chapters. One shot. A legacy on the line.
Because on this land-nothing's ever just yours. Not your name. Not your blood. Not even your life.
TW: gun violence, trauma, grief.
