▍ AN ORIGINAL  ╱ western romance

There's a kind of wild you can't outrun.

Lemon Odell knows this better than anyone-the kind that lives under your skin, that shapes the way you move, the way you fight, the way you break. Born into a bloodline stitched together by rodeo dust and ruin, she was raised to wear her name like armor... and to know the price of standing still.

When a brutal accident shakes the fragile bones of her world, Lemon's life collides with two men who carry their own storms-Colt Langmore, the man she thought she could save, and Rhett Weston, the stranger with a half-broken smile and a past he wears like a second skin.  One is the gravity she can't escape. The other is the blaze daring her to let go.

As the rodeo lights burn hotter and the dangers sharpen their teeth, Lemon finds herself walking the knife's edge between loyalty and betrayal, survival and surrender, the ghosts of who she was and the fire of who she might become.

But out here, nothing stays buried.

And under the weight of blood, bone, and heartbreak, she'll have to decide just how far she's willing to ride into the dark... and what's worth losing along the way.

Saddles & Starlight by CrossFandomSkylines

Maren Grace Walker thought her life had already been rewritten. At seventeen, a bone cancer diagnosis stole her rodeo dreams and left her clinging to what she could still hold: her family, her ranch, and the horses that carried her through the darkest days. Now in her early thirties, Maren's settled into the rhythm of ranch life alongside her dad. She doesn't expect much to change. Until Glen Powell, her brother's friend she grew up trailing after, comes back home to Texas. He remembers her as a kid with braids and big belt buckles. She's not that girl anymore. And Glen isn't just the boy who used to tease her, either. He's a movie star with the kind of smile that can undo a girl in a heartbeat, and the kind of man with baggage that Maren swore she'd never take on. What starts as stolen glances and banter under the wide Texas sky begins to stir something neither of them expected. But with Glen's world pulling him back to Hollywood and Maren's roots sunk deep in the ranch, the question lingers: Can saddles and starlight hold them together, or are they destined to ride in different directions?

Southern Charm by anj6232

Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations. While others her age are embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!

Saving Grace by allie7

"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?

Roped by Her Ride by KyaKraft22

Hudson Tate is a first-class bull rider with a chip on his shoulder and a long-standing rule-never trust a city girl. After too many broken promises and one too many high heels in the dirt, he's earned his reputation as the rodeo circuit's most irresistible player-and its most guarded heart. Then comes Callie Monroe, a top-ranked barrel racer with a sleek look and a city-girl reputation that rubs Hudson the wrong way from the start. She's too polished, too confident, and too good at pretending she doesn't care what people think. Hudson can't stand her-until he starts noticing the calluses on her hands, the way she trains her horse before dawn, and how she talks about the land like she grew up breathing it. Turns out, Callie isn't who he thought she was. Raised on a dusty ranch and shoved into city life by family pressure, she's spent years fighting to prove she belongs back in the saddle-and not in some glass tower. As tensions turn to sparks, Hudson is forced to face the one thing he's avoided his entire life: letting someone in. But with both their careers on the line and past wounds refusing to heal, will love be enough to rope in a cowboy who's always ridden solo?
