Cassidy Roux was a legend in her time - a bounty hunter with a lasso on her hip and a shotgun slung over her shoulder. Feared, respected, and heartbreakingly alone, she lived for the chase and the justice she carved into the wild lands of the 1800s.

Until the storm.

One lightning strike later, she and her flower-loving horse, Beetle, find themselves standing at the edge of a world they don't recognize - a modern Montana ranch owned by Cassian Vale, a gruff rodeo star with hands that speak louder than words and eyes like dusk over the prairie.

He's stubborn. She's feral.
And neither of them can stop circling the other.

Between jailbreaks, thunderstorms, and kisses that burn slow then brand deep, Cassidy and Cassian will learn that love can cross centuries - and fate might just have a lasso of its own.

Yellowstone: I'm Still Here by inkandscarsjess

"They didn't even know she was gone." Emma Dutton, thirteen years old and forgotten by the world, was found in a ditch with scars on her body and fire still in her eyes. Branded. Silenced. Changed. When Lee and the ranch hands find her, the entire Dutton Ranch is thrown into something far deeper than cattle and land wars - a quiet battle for one girl's survival, healing, and revenge. As the days stretch on, Emma must learn to trust again - her grandfather John, the quiet strength of Rip, the steady hands of Lloyd, and the unlikely warmth of the bunkhouse crew. But when her abuser comes too close to the land that once made her feel safe, Emma doesn't just survive - she learns how to fight back. A gritty, emotional, and powerful Yellowstone story about trauma, healing, and what it really means to be Dutton tough.

Ride Beside Me | Kayce Dutton x OC by AlexandriaGrey_

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. _______ #1 in Yellowstone 11.07.2025 #1 in KayceDutton 11.07.2025 #1 in BethDutton 11.07.2025

Wildfire | Kayce Dutton • Yellowstone by princessarchives

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?

Yellowstone: Love and Cowboys by martykate1

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 write

The Wolf, The Ranch, And The Shadows by NevaehSinor

River's Howl They were taken. Stolen from the safety of their world. Locked in a place where voices spoke too calmly, where hands held too tightly, where every breath felt like a risk. But Rain and Colt escaped. Through the shadows. Through the fear. Through the relentless grip of desperation-chased by something worse than the night itself. And they weren't alone. River-silent, unshaken, watching-had followed. Had led. Had protected. Now, in the heart of the wild, every step forward is a fight for survival. Every breath is a reminder of what lurks behind them. Every second brings them closer to home-if home still exists. Because they weren't the only ones watching. Because some things refuse to let go. And because River's howl doesn't just echo into the night-it warns of what's coming next. The book start getting good at chapter 9, the first 8 are mainly background. -------------------- Author's Note This book takes place during Rain's 3rd through 5th grade years, a time when she was homeschooled on the ranch before transitioning to public school. Her education wasn't just about coursework-it was about survival, resilience, and the lessons of life itself. Rain and Colt experience trauma that no one should ever endure, yet their journey isn't defined solely by hardship. This story explores their incredible strength, the ways they cope, and how they navigate the shadows of their past while holding onto hope for the future. Through pain, they find resilience. Through loss, they find understanding. And through each challenge, they discover a part of themselves that refuses to break. I truly hope you connect with their story, and I appreciate you being part of this journey. I'm already working on the next installment, and I can't wait to share it with you. Thank you for reading.

🔞Wanted The Outlaw🔞 by RosieSharpe

Some fires don't burn out - they become you. Jane was born in the dust of the Nebraska Territory, baptized in violence and raised beneath the boot of the God-fearing congregation. By the time she's a woman, she's no stranger to pain - or to running. Branded a criminal, hunted across the West, she trusts no one. Especially not men with law badges and silver tongues. Until she meets him. The sheriff is steady, haunted, too good for the territory that bred him. Without realising she is the outlaw that he's tracking, he offers her shelter during a storm - nothing more. But Jane has survived by reading men like maps, and she sees it in him: desire, reined in tight. Jane stepped closer. The sheriff's walls were plastered with her crimes - wanted posters, notes, crude sketches of her own face. And now Jane stood between them and the man hunting her. He'd brought whiskey. She smiled. "Tryin' to get me drunk, Sheriff?" His chuckle was slow. "Just bein' decent." She moved closer, each step a gamble. If he saw the posters in the lamplight, he'd surely recognise her. No. She had to keep him looking at her. Only her. A button slipped free. The sheriff's jaw tightened. "You don't have to do that." "I know," she said, and closed the last inch between them. It began slow, a breath shared, a thread pulled taut - then it snapped. His mouth met hers, rough and unrelenting. There was no tenderness, only heat. Her back hit the wall, her shirt slipped, and his hands roamed like fire. She had used her body as a weapon before. But this was surrender, too - fury and need burning under her skin. Outside, the storm battered the shutters. But the real storm was here. And through it all, Jane kept her eyes on the wanted posters above the bed. Her own face stared back. Wanted: The Outlaw is a work of historical fiction that dangles religion, redemption, and extremely steamy romance on the end of the hangman's rope.
