For as long as she can remember, Evelyn-Rae Dutton has lived and breathed the Yellowstone. She stayed when others left. She worked when others walked away. And she devoted her life to protecting the ranch that has been in her family for generations. Beside her stands Rip Wheeler-a man who arrived at the Yellowstone with nothing and built his life through loyalty, hard work, and sacrifice. Together, they have spent years fighting for the ranch, for John Dutton, and for the family they call home. But loyalty comes with a price. As old wounds resurface and new enemies threaten the Yellowstone from every direction, Rae finds herself caught between the people she loves most. Her resentment toward Beth still lingers beneath the surface. Kayce's return forces her to confront a decade of abandonment. And John Dutton's relentless determination to save the ranch may cost him the very people who have never left his side. When devotion demands sacrifice, how much is too much to give? Set against the rugged backdrop of Montana, The Ones Who Never Left is a story of family, loyalty, heartbreak, and the unbreakable bond between two people willing to lose everything for the place-and each other-they love.

"I know you are a man who has lost a great deal, Mr. Shelby. And I know that fear is the only language you think Birmingham speaks. But I have spent ten years with the Sisters; your shadows don't frighten me nearly as much as the thought of a child going without a coat tomorrow." She is a woman of cloth and conviction. He is a man of lead and whiskey. Mabel is the lead teacher at the Grace Shelby Institute, a place built on the sins of the Shelby family. She isn't under any illusions about who pays her wages; she's seen the blood on the notes. But while the rest of Small Heath trembles at the click of iron-shod heels in the night, Mabel simply keeps her needle moving. When Thomas Shelby wanders into her classroom at two in the morning, he's looking for the silence his own mind refuses to give him. Instead, he finds a woman who refuses to be his victim or his devotee. To Tommy, she is a sanctuary he doesn't deserve. To Mabel, he is a soul that no amount of prayer can fix-but that doesn't mean she won't try. A story of faith, fire, and the mending of a man who thought he was beyond repair.

*STORY IS 18+ AND CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT* Alana Graham doesn't do hockey players; they're strictly off limits to her. Except for the one that she knows out of all of them she should stay the furthest away from. John Logan is her brother's best friend and teammate. For years she denies her feelings, pushes Logan away in order to protect herself but also... To protect him from her past that she refuses to share with anyone. Not even her two best friends, Hannah and Allie. Although this hockey playing mechanic not only thaws the ice around her guarded heart, he fixes it as well.

Ellie Graham, Garrett Graham's younger sister and a sophomore on the Briar women's soccer team, has always been firmly in the background of her brother's world, familiar with his friends, his teammates, and especially John Logan. She and Logan have known each other for years, long enough to trade teasing remarks and inside jokes without thinking twice, but never long enough for anything to cross the line. That changes when Ellie starts running into Logan more often around campus, from chance encounters to situations where they're forced into close proximity. What starts as familiar banter and effortless teasing slowly shifts into something sharper, more attentive, more personal, and harder for both of them to ignore. Every interaction pulls them a little further into unfamiliar territory, where old familiarity starts to feel like something new. The only complication is Garrett Graham. Protective, observant, and very much aware of both of their histories, Garrett would not take kindly to the idea of his sister and his teammate crossing lines that were never meant to be crossed. And the question becomes: how long can Ellie and Logan keep pretending nothing is changing, before Garrett notices that everything already has?

All it took was one moment for everything to change. One moment and three dangerous men who emanated equal parts pleasure and pain. Following her father's disappearance, Madelyn Adams takes her travels to New York in pursuit of an unlikely yet desperately needed lead. However, when she soon finds herself witness to murder, everything becomes so much more complex. A "gunshot to the head" was what she relayed to responding officers, yet after a suspiciously brief investigation, results concluded not a single trace of evidence to support the committing of any crime, let alone one as messy as the casualty Madelyn described. No blood, no fingerprints. It was almost as though it never happened. Almost. If it weren't for the lingering memory of that low voice in her ear or the caress of his gloved hands on her body, she would've thought she'd hallucinated. Taken together, that should have been the most complicated part, but it wasn't. Instead, it was the three dangerous men who covered it up and caught interest in her in the process. ____ "I don't know how long it's going to take you to realize this sweetheart, but you belong to us."

I want to taste what a needy little mess my words have made you." ____ Theirs to Claim is a full length, reverse harem novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book ends on a cliffhanger and is recommended for 18+.
