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: Ashes in Her Blood
Sixteen-year-old Sawyer Lane didn't come to the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch looking for redemption - she came to survive. Scarred, stubborn, and carrying more ghosts than years, she's the daughter of a ranch hand who blames her for everything that ever went wrong.

She's not here to be saved. She's here to fight her way back. Even if that means fire. Even if that means the brand. And when her past comes hunting, Sawyer doesn't run.

Branded by Fire
Hadley Mae Carson has spent her life surviving-on the outside, a capable ranch girl; on the inside, breaking under the weight of her father's violence. When one final night pushes her past the edge, she flees the only home she's ever known, driving through the darkness toward a place she's only heard in whispers: Yellowstone. She doesn't expect kindness. She doesn't expect safety. She definitely doesn't expect to stay. But the Yellowstone Ranch isn't just a place-it's a test of strength, loyalty, and belonging. And when John Dutton offers her a chance to prove herself, Hadley grabs it with both hands. She knows cattle, she knows horses, and soon enough, she earns the wary respect of the ranch hands she works beside. But it's Rip Wheeler-the quiet, guarded enforcer of the Duttons-who sees past her toughness. As Hadley rebuilds her life one early morning and bruised knuckle at a time, Rip becomes the one man who doesn't flinch at her past. And in a place where survival is earned and love is a dangerous luxury, Hadley just might find something she never dared to dream of: a future.Complete

Yellowstone: The Silence Between Screams
Cassidy was a ghost before the Duttons found her-barely seventeen, all scars and silence, with no record of her existence before age five. She doesn't speak of where she came from. But when Rip Wheeler stumbles across her on the edge of the ranch, bleeding and half-conscious, he brings her back-against every instinct but one: protect her. What begins as a reluctant act of mercy turns into something deeper as the Duttons start unraveling the truth. Cassidy's file, pulled by Jamie, reveals a history soaked in horror-sealed hospital records, sterilization at thirteen, SA reports, forced silence by the system, and a father among her abusers. She was supposed to disappear. She didn't. Now, the Dutton Ranch becomes more than just a place to heal. It becomes a battleground for Cassidy's survival, and maybe... her redemption. But healing isn't quiet. It's angry. It's raw. And it's coming for everyone who ever hurt her. ⚠️ Trigger Warnings: This fanfiction contains graphic references to childhood sexual abuse, trafficking, rape, self-harm, forced sterilization, eating disorders, PTSD, mental health struggles, violence, and systemic failure.
