Ride Beside Me | ᴋ. ᴅᴜᴛᴛᴏɴ
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.

Lassoed (Yellowstone)
Caroline Dutton, the youngest of the Dutton family and vying for the spot as heir to the ranching throne, has always held firm love of the Yellowstone ranch. It was her home. She would do anything to protect it. With more and more problems arising, fear of losing the ranch creeps in. She never really put much effort into anything other than the ranch. She had no desire to. Nothing else came close in importance. Until she begins spending more time with a cowboy working on the ranch. Sure, she had known Ryan vaguely but never really spoke to him. The more time the two spend together, the more their bond grows and something neither expected begins to blossom. A/N: I do not own Yellowstone or its characters, only Caroline and her plotlines. All rights go to Taylor Sheridan.

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?

Juliet Dutton has run out of chances. After three years behind bars, she's sent to the Yellowstone Ranch-a place where hard work is law, and weakness gets crushed beneath it. She's a Dutton by name, but her past mistakes make her an outsider in her own family's world. Life on the ranch is harsher than anything she faced in prison, and Juliet quickly learns that survival isn't just about moving cattle or fixing fences-it's about proving she belongs in a place that doesn't forgive failure. Haunted by regret, fueled by stubborn fire, and tested by the land and the people who work it, Juliet has one last chance to turn her life around. But redemption never comes easy... and out here, nothing does.
