They say a Dutton never forgets what's his. The trouble is, sometimes the world forgets to care. Aspen Hayes was supposed to be safe. A new horse. A quiet life. A love that could finally outlast the storms. But on Yellowstone land, peace is just the breath before the gunshot. When she vanishes without a trace, Kayce Dutton feels the world go cold. He's seen death before-carried it, buried it-but this time, it's personal. He'll rip apart every back road and backroom in Montana to find her. Because some promises aren't spoken. They're kept. »BOOK 2«

She doesn't chase love. She runs with it. Aspen Hayes never needed a man to steady her hand or soften her world. Raised on dust, hard lessons, and the back of a blue-roan mare, she built a life where grit beats luck and loyalty means everything. She isn't here to be admired. She isn't here to be chosen. She's here to win - and stay free doing it. But winning in this world means more than clean runs and fast turns. It means land. Legacy. Bloodlines and boundaries. And when a quiet-jawed cowboy with eyes full of trouble steps into her arena, Aspen feels the earth shift under her boots harder than any horse ever has. He rides like he's outrunning ghosts. He looks at her like he's finally found home. And he stands between her and the one thing she's sworn to protect - control. To love him, she'd have to ride beside him. Never behind. Never second. And Aspen Hayes has never followed anyone. Some cowgirls were born to lead. Some hearts were built to run. And some love stories ride in at a full gallop - daring you to hold on.

Dr. Carter Shea looks like she has it all together-bright smile, sharp wit, and signature pink scrubs that earned her the nickname "Dr. Barbie" long before she ever stepped foot inside The Pitt. She's bubbly, compassionate, and somehow manages to bring warmth into even the darkest trauma cases. But behind the charm and perfectly glossed smile is a woman running from an abusive past that nearly destroyed her. Starting over at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital is supposed to be nothing more than a fresh start. Keep her head down. Work the shifts. Don't let anyone get too close. Then she meets Dr. Jack Abbot. Quietly protective and impossible to intimidate, Jack sees the cracks beneath Carter's carefully crafted sunshine. What starts as teasing banter during impossible shifts slowly becomes something deeper-late-night coffee runs, shared silence after brutal cases, and the terrifying realization that Carter feels safe with him in a way she never has before. But healing isn't linear, and the past Carter escaped refuses to stay buried. As the chaos of the ER pushes them together, Carter must learn that surviving isn't the same as living-and that maybe Trauma Barbie deserves her own happy ending too.

"They built The Bear out of fire, grief, and love. And she was the quiet spark in all of it." Chiara Berzatto (OC) × Luca | The Bear Premise Summary: Chiara "Chi" Berzatto - Carmy's older twin - has been working in Italy for years, where she quietly fell for Luca during their time in Copenhagen. They've kept their relationship long-distance, with scheduled calls, shared recipes, and emotional check-ins. After Mikey's death, Chi returns to Chicago to help at The Beef... but keeps her personal life private. Her return coincides with the chaos of Season 1, and she becomes the quiet, grounding presence the restaurant (and Carmy) needs. *this is an alternative universe story | non-canon compliant Disclaimer: This is a transformative, non-commercial fanwork created under the principles of Fair Use.

Amelie came to Denmark on Carmy's recommendation, chasing a reset after burnout and disappointment in Chicago. Staging under Luca was supposed to be purely professional-early mornings, late nights, aching feet, and no emotional entanglements. But from the moment she stepped into his kitchen, everything became... complicated. Luca is calm where Amelie is chaotic, precise where she's impulsive, distant in all the ways that make her want to get closer. There are glances that linger too long, arguments that carry the sharpness of something unspoken, touches that happen too often to be accidental-but nothing crosses the line. Not officially. The kitchen becomes its own language: tension folded like laminated dough, sweetness hidden beneath structure, heat rising steadily between them. And Luca? He notices everything. The way Amelie handles her pastry. The way her breath catches when he leans too close. The way her walls come down, one slow crack at a time. The real problem? He wants her. But Luca doesn't break rules. Not his own. Not unless he already has. In the pressure cooker of a Michelin-starred kitchen, something always boils over. The only question is: when it does, will either of them survive the burn? ******** HI GUYS!! this is a brand new story that i wanted to try out and connect more with pastries and food i have tried so far since i am a passionate fan of cooking:)) please check out this brand new story that i am COOKING and share it with your friends ✨✨ i highly appreciate the support 😋
