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. _______ #1 in Yellowstone 11.07.2025 #1 in KayceDutton 11.07.2025 #1 in BethDutton 11.07.2025

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.
