In the quiet village of San Miguel Topilejo, Mexico, the Betancourt family land is more than a stretch of soil; it is a legacy bound by blood, sacrifice, and betrayal. When Angela Betancourt, the last of her generation, passes away, she leaves her son, Javier, as the sole heir of her land and fortune. But returning from California to reclaim his inheritance, Javier finds that his sister, Lucia, has already staked a dubious claim on the land, backed by falsified documents and a bitter resolve.

As Javier navigates the twisted paths of legal battles and family secrets, he uncovers something more painful than stolen property. In hushed whispers and broken memories, he learns of the life his mother endured in her final years-a life marred by isolation, neglect, and cruelty at the hands of the very sister he once trusted.

Bound by a promise to his mother and haunted by the shadows of the past, Javier is determined to reclaim not only his inheritance but the truth hidden within the land itself. In a place where love and betrayal are sown in equal measure, Javier must decide how far he is willing to go to honor his family's name-and to expose the secrets that lie buried in the soil of San Miguel Topilejo.

Yellowstone: The Train Station by martykate1
37 parts Ongoing Mature
I'd like to thank everyone who read my story "Yellowstone: Love and Cowboys". I'm one of the few writers who used Travis as a love interest and asked me if I was going to write another story using him. So I did! This is not a continuation of Love and Cowboys, but a new one, with plenty of Travis for his fans! Anicka made a bad marriage and knew it after he beat her. She ran away in the middle of the night with bare feet and her pregnant cat. Instead of sticking around for more, she returned home to her widowed mother. Her mother called the cops, and it only took one look for the cop to realize how bad she'd been hurt. After he leaves, her mother takes her to the hospital to be examined to make sure she'll be all right. The family huddles together to decide what to do. Her mother Paola and brother Ramon can support her for a few months, but both are shocked when she announces she is going to look for her beloved Benito. His last known address was the Yellowstone so that is where she intends to start. She rides but not well enough to be a ranch hand. She can cook and muck stalls, that could -be enough to get her hired for something. She can't wait soon to leave Texas and finds herself driving her father's old truck and heading up north. She had to leave her beloved cat behind, but her sister insists on giving her a half-grown German shepherd puppy to keep her company. She gets to Montana and insinuates herself with the Duttons who offer a job mucking stalls. Soon, she hears about a mysterious place they call the "Train Station" and wonders if that is where her brother ended up. The Duttons seem to have accepted her, but she is cautious, using her fake names and telling no one who she really is. She has a phone she uses to call her family but keeps it hidden. Something is coming, she can feel it, and wonders if it has anything to do with the mysterious t Train Station.
Southern Charm by anj6232
26 parts Complete Mature
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations for a twenty-four-year-old. While others her age might be in college or 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!
