Sixteen-year-old Sadie Dutton, daughter of Lee Dutton, was born with rebellion in her veins. For generations, John Dutton has forbidden his family from stepping into the rodeo arena - too dangerous, too reckless, too costly. But Sadie refuses to be caged by her grandfather's rules. Trading cattle drives for bronc rides, Sadie sneaks into the PRCA circuit, determined to carve out a legacy of her own. With Lloyd as her quiet mentor, Jimmy as her unlikely ally, and Rip as her unwilling protector, Sadie's double life becomes harder to hide. Family loyalty, bruised pride, and the relentless eight-second clock collide in a story of grit, defiance, and what it really means to carry the Dutton name.

"why the fuck did you go on a date with him? he is not even your type!!" he growls. "so what? he is friendly and nice to me" I replied confidently. "NO, HE IS NOT NICE!!! he wants you because you're....beautiful" he said looking directly in my eyes! "Viaan! stop being so annoying...and let me go! he is waiting for me" I said. As I was about to leave, he held my hands and in a millisecond I was pinned to his car. I was shocked by this action of his. He never behaved like this but today he was in different mood. "What a-are you d-doing?" I said. We were so close that our lips were almost touching and then he bends towards my neck and kiss it. I swear that feeling was so amazing... I loved it but I didn't show it on my face, but then he looked at me with his dark brown eyes, and stared at me for a couple of seconds. "If you didn't leave for home right now! I will kiss the fuck out of you, until you become breathless" he said in his deep voice without breaking the eye contact. Honestly that was hot....but this is not the time for this. "And why are you suddenly so interested in my personal life? Are you jealous of Abhay?" I said without looking at him. "Do not try me! I said go home!!" I sensed that he is angry. "Oh yeah? don't try you? what will you do Mr. Raghuvanshi?" I said in a sarcastic way. To which he smirked. and said "don't ask for something you can't handle baby" What did he just say.....Baby? "I'm not your baby". "Are you sure?" he smirked again. Why the hell he's keep doing that. .........
