Growing up at Yellowstone wasn't easy, so Mary left for a few years to get away and get some structure into her life. Unfortunately, it took her down hard path in the military and almost into death. Now she's back home, but she's fighting flashbacks to the hours of hell she went through to save a city from another country's military take over. But it isn't the only thing she's fighting. Now she's fighting with her father, who isn't okay with who she's become and Rip, who always wanted to protect her but couldn't when she left. Things have changed at the ranch, but so has Mary. *Part one is finished. Part two will be starting soon.*
