Western Connection by MustangSabby

Brady West falls for the beautiful Caitlin Fenshaw when he least expects-or needs to-and as they grow close they must decide on their future together as they navigate his family secrets, her troubled past, and the link that connect them both. ***** Brady is the fixer at West Line Ranch. Equipment, cattle fencing, his estranged father's situation to name a few. On top of everything going on in his life, fate has placed the beautiful Caitlin Fenshaw and her predicament squarely in his path. He's drawn to her strength like a magnet, but is he ready to open his heart to someone else when he is still figuring out who he is? Caitlin doubts she'll ever be able to fall in love again after escaping her abusive ex. Through her favourite patient Keith she keeps bumping into Brady West. He's sweet, caring, and his touch soothes her long-worn nerves. He understands her the way no one else has, but she's on the fence about whether to let someone else into her battered, broken heart. As their deep and almost instant connection takes hold, Caitlin will have to push her doubts aside and trust Brady, and Brady will have to let his family help him when the stakes get high.

Wildfire | Kayce Dutton • Yellowstone by lunasarchives

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?

New Start In Valley View (Valley View Book #3) by JSmith_Writes

Growing up, one of Taryn's favorite memories was spending time at her grandparent's ranch in Valley View, North Dakota. The older she got, the less she was able to visit until her grandfather's failing health brought her back as an adult. Not much had really changed since she was a kid except one person in particular. Bobby Brown was her first crush and it was clear after their first run-in as adults that he was just as into her. Bobby was the perfect little fling to keep her company when she was visiting, but when she finds herself back in Valley View permanently, can their fling turn into forever? Bobby wasn't into settling down. He was a flirt and a man that liked to have a good time. It wasn't until a blast from his past started coming back around that he realized he did have the ability to want something more than just a hookup. Relationships weren't his thing though, but Taryn was different. Can Bobby put aside his playboy, non-commital ways before he loses Taryn for good?

French Toast by Megabucks

Weekends are for pancakes. Mondays cornflakes, Tuesdays grilled cheese sandwiches, Wednesdays cornflakes again, Thursdays oatmeal and Fridays bagels. Colby found herself wanting French toast so when her fiancé suggests they take a one-week break from their relationship in order to pursue other...eats, she takes him up on it. WARNING: This short story has been rated Mature for strong language and strong sexual situations (wouldn't be surprised if Wattpad puts a padlock on it). It could probably be under the category of PWP (plot-what-plot) but I endeavored to add a smidgen of one ;-) UPDATE: Yup, they put the padlock on making it private. Not entirely sure how that works, but below I'll post the link to chapter 2. I do believe you must follow me in order to read: Chapter 2 -- http://www.wattpad.com/137578458-french-toast-chapter-2

Western Heat by MustangSabby

A fish-out-of-water story about a New York City chef who inherits a ranch, discovers a family he never knew, and finds unexpected love with a fiercely loyal woman. For fans of western romance superstars like Lyla Sage and Elise Silver. New York City chef Jake West had it all, but a few strokes of a pen meant no more marriage. No more restaurant. No more big city lifestyle. Then he receives a call explaining that his long-estranged father, Brett, has died, and he needs to return to the Canadian ranch he left as a child. Jake expects to go, sign more papers, and return to the city and rebuild his future. Instead Jake learns that Brett's left the ranch to him-and only him. Things might have been hot in his restaurant's kitchen, but that's nothing compared to what he faces now: a family he didn't know existed, and a property he doesn't want. Tanner and Brady, his half-brothers, don't want him around. And while his stepmother, Peony, welcomes him, there's Liz, Peony's daughter. She's not a West, but her loyalties lie with the family, not an outsider. However, as Jake settles into the rhythms of the ranch, he wonders if he's finally found something that's been missing in his life-especially as he and Liz grow closer. At first, it's just attraction, but when a sudden kiss ignites a heat in both of them, they can't ignore this raging inferno. Maybe Brett West knew what he was doing when he summoned his eldest son back home-and gave him a chance to change his life forever. This is Book 1 of the West Line Ranch Series. Book 2 - Western Connection and Book 3 - Western Flame, are currently available to read on Wattpad In bookstores January 20th, 2026!
