15 year old Bailey Dutton has always known life on the ranch is brutal, but she thought she understood where she belonged-John Dutton's daughter, heir to his legacy, tough enough to survive the Yellowstone way. Then one reckless argument shatters everything: Bailey discovers her real parents aren't who she thought. She's not John's child at all-she's the daughter of Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton, forged from fire and fury.
As Bailey grapples with the betrayal, tragedy strikes, forcing her to face blood, death, and the cost of loyalty. But the Duttons don't give her time to crumble. They hand her a responsibility she never asked for: Maddox Bucken, a bruised, angry runaway with a past carved in violence and a younger brother still trapped under an abusive father.
Thrown together in the shadows of grief and secrets, Bailey and Maddox are oil and water-stubborn, sharp-edged, too broken to bend. But on the Yellowstone ranch, enemies have a way of becoming something more.
Family. Power. Loyalty. Love.
On this land, it's all a fight. And Bailey Dutton was born fighting.
