Milla's first date with Jason Ward ends in disaster and triggers a whirlwind of events that begin with kidnapping (Jason claims for her protection, but she loses confidence in him after finding herself locked in the cluttered basement of an abandoned pioneer school house) and end, at least in the short term, with a solo cross-country hike through the West Desert, where she encounters a runaway Shoshone kid, a camp of gypsies with a stunning array or four-wheelers, taxidermy, and oriental rugs, and a one-eyed hobo straight out of Homer.
Jason took her up the mountain to the topmost reaches of his dad's most recent housing development to watch the full moon rise over Utah Lake below. But when Milla, impatient for the date's inevitable endgame, finally makes her move, the ground gives way under the front wheels of the car, and they plummet fifty feet through the winter air and into the living room of one of the hundreds of cookie-cutter L. Frank Ward tract homes. Jason's dad, Mr. Ward himself--polished, stylish, articulate, and yet somehow greasy--shows up with all the insurance adjusters and paramedics. Something about the way he takes charge sets Milla on edge and brings to mind some of the strange disappearances from Saratoga Springs, Utah, over the past several years, including that of her own father.

Wildfire | Kayce Dutton • Yellowstone
If you were to ask me what if was like to fall in love with a cowboy, I would say it's like a wildfire. Once it starts, there's no way of stoping it. It burns you alive from the inside out. Consumes you, every part of you. At least that's how it felt for me when I fell for a cowboy, one who wasn't even mine and could never be mine because he belonged to somebody else and I'm left with figuring out how to put out this fire that is loving Kayce Dutton. ***** Darkness and tragedy was all Wren Wheeler knew from the day she was brought into this world. The only good thing in her life was her older brother, Rip. The one who saved her from the brutal ending their mother and younger brother weren't so lucky to escape from. She didn't believe they would ever have a chance of surviving out in the world. Not until John Dutton gave them a second chance at life, just as long as they swore to never bring their past with them to his ranch. The ranch where she found herself a family, a sister she never had, and a love she swore she'd never allow herself to experience. Because that kind of love was never meant for a girl like her. Kayce Dutton was never meant for her, and he could never be. They could never exist. Will destiny prove her wrong?

When a magical force summons Esmera and Tauram to Milatanur, the hidden kingdom that is their home, they have no choice but to answer the call.
