Baldwin, Texas was one of those small towns where everybody knew each other all their lives. I loved my town and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Me and my brothers are known as the Masen boys because around here we have a bad reputation for fighting, although im the total opposite. I help my brothers if they need me but most of the time I try to avoid conflict the best way I can. On the other hand Landon and Tyler are always getting in trouble; they both have had their fair share of mayhem. My father Antonio "Big Daddy" Masen is one of the greatest equestrian who ever lived and he fell in love with my mom when he was seventeen and never loved another woman again. Sadly, my mom died of leukemia when I was seven so big daddy raised me and my brothers in the meantime we all became real close although we couldn't be more different. Over the years big daddy dated thousands of women but not one of them could tame his tiger of a heart like momma could. I could tell he still missed her every day I see it in his eyes but still somehow he gets up every day and continues to live. I asked him one day how he got over losing momma. He smiled at me, put his arm around my neck, and said Son you never get over losing the love of your life you just learn to live day by day without them. I don't think any of us were ready for what was coming this spring.

Yellowstone: Love and Cowboys
Some people are born to be on the back of a reining horse, Coralee Dutton for one. She's the youngest daughter of John Dutton's older brother Benjamin. John inherited the ranch because he was a rancher while his brother wasn't. There are no hard feelings, Benjamin is happy with his life and the brothers have a deep love for each other. Coralee has been showing horses since she was young and has gotten quite good. She started as a barrel racer and is now into reining horses. She is at the Yellowstone because John wants to buy her a top-quality horse to show, and he's asked Travis Wheatley to bring some to the ranch to show her. Beth Dutton has always hated Coralee. Coralee is younger and prettier and resembles the tragic Elsa Dutton. She hates Beth's drinking problem and tries to stay out of her way, drunk or sober. She believes Beth is unstable and that only makes it worse. Travis has had his eye on Coralee for a long time. He wants to go out with her, hell, he wants to sleep with her but she means more to him. He's a playboy and a rogue and he knows it, but maybe he could change his ways if she just gave him a chance. He's older and feeling the need to settle down and Coralee could make him change his ways. So, you can call this story "based on" Yellowstone if you like. Travis is a character in the story and since Rip and Kayce are basically taken, I used him. Also, there are a lot of Rip or Kayce stories here, I wanted to write something else. Readers: I know ranching, I know horses, I studied equine science. Our instructor used to hire us out to his friends to drive their cattle for them. I participated in a cattle drive celebrating the San Antonio trail. This made this story more fun to writeComplete

Saving Grace
"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.
