Fifteen-year-old Ash Dutton was born into the wilds of Montana and the complicated legacy of the Dutton family - but she's never truly felt like she belonged. A child of silence and shame, she carries the weight of being unwanted by her own parents, the forgotten daughter in a family that only sees what they want to. On the surface, she's a quiet ranch girl with wild hair, a love for horses, and a gift for barrel racing. But underneath is a fire burning - a spirit that refuses to be broken. When Ash disappears one night, the Duttons are shaken awake by the reality of their silence. Days later, she's found beaten, broken, and bloodied - barely alive. But survival is only the beginning. Through trauma, nightmares, and the slow, painful process of healing, Ash finds unexpected family in the bunkhouse boys, strength in the love of a quiet cowboy's son, and comfort in the silence of the only people who understand - Rip, Lloyd, and Beth. This is the story of a girl who was never supposed to make it - and the legacy she builds when she decides to rise anyway. Raw, emotional, and unflinchingly honest - Ashes of the Wind is a story of survival, healing, first love, and found family in the heart of Yellowstone. I don't own any of the characters from Yellowstone. I only own Sam lily Jackosn and Ash and their parent and Colton and mason

Beth Dutton's life has been shaped by secrets, but none greater than the one about her daughter. Years ago, she gave birth to Emily, her child with Rip Wheeler, only for her father, John Dutton, to raise the girl as his own to protect the family's reputation. Emily grew up believing she was John's youngest daughter, unaware of her true parentage. But when Jamie Dutton, bitter over his own adoption revelation, spitefully exposes the truth, it shatters the family. Rip learns he's a father, Emily questions her identity, and Beth must face her past. Can the Duttons survive this betrayal? Inspired by events of Yellowstone with my own twist

She didn't come to Yellowstone to be saved. Seventeen-year-old Riley Keene shows up at the Dutton Ranch with a busted duffel, calloused hands, and a mouth full of lies about where she came from. She rides like someone born in a saddle, ropes like she's got something to prove, and works like her life depends on it - because it does. She doesn't talk about the scars - the one on her cheek, or the ones she hides under long sleeves, even in the dead of summer. No one knows she's a foster kid on the verge of emancipation. No one knows what she's running from. And she plans to keep it that way. But secrets don't stay buried long on Dutton land. And when the truth comes knocking - bloody, bruised, and carrying everything she tried to forget - Riley has to decide: Will she run again... or fight for a place to belong? I don't own any of the Yellowstone cheaters just riley

Her grandfather sends her to the one place that might still have a chance at saving her-the Dutton Ranch. No second chances. No handouts. Just grit, sweat, and silence. There, Dakota meets Jesse-a younger ranch hand who refuses to back down from her walls. She pushes, he stays. She bites, he bleeds. Slowly, against her instincts, she starts to trust. Starts to belong. But the bunkhouse doesn't forget where you came from. And neither does your past.

And about the wild, stubborn fire inside a girl who wasn't supposed to make it this far. [TW: Self-harm, suicide, PTSD, trauma, abuse. Please read with care.]
