Summary
Caitlyn Kiramman is the heir to one of the largest cattle operations in the country, but she has not stepped foot on her family's ranch in nearly two decades. She helps run the company from afar, and is deeply unpopular with the staff due to her controversial ideas that disrupt the status quo. Violet Mason is the head ranch hand at Rocking Bar Ranch, where she has spent years breaking horses, working cattle, and bending to the Kiramman's every decision - no matter how stupid she thinks they are. After a disastrous stakeholder meeting, Caitlyn is effectively fired from her position and her mother assigns her to work on the farm to maintain the company's image. Vi is charged with overseeing Caitlyn, and tasked with turning her into a regular cowpoke. Unfortunately, tension builds as the pair's disdain for one another becomes more apparent.
Something besides their animosity is brewing on the ranch, though. And if they aren't able to put aside their differences to work together and figure out what it is, Rocking Bar Ranch could cease to exist as they know it.
Or, Vi is a cowboy and Caitlyn is a clueless city slicker.

Summary
"I mean this is ridiculous! If this is how you do business, then I think you ought-”
“I’m sorry, I think you’ve got the wrong number,” the woman cut her off.
Vi felt her face go so hot she was sure that it was visibly steaming in the winter air. Of course it was a fucking wrong number - just the cherry on top of an already shit morning. She struggled to conjure up some sort of apology. Instead, what came out was, “Oh. Well, thank god, because I was feeling really bad about yelling at someone who sounds so sexy.”
As soon as the words left her mouth she wished she had a spare hand to cram them back inside. She was considering just abruptly hanging up when a breathy chuckle filtered across the line.
“Awfully bold for someone who’s ranting about cement to a stranger at eight o’clock in the morning.”
OR: Vi is a construction worker with no time for relationships... until she accidentally dials a wrong number and the stranger on the other line upends her entire life.- Language:

Summary
“What are you doing?” the woman asked, breath catching.
“Still being bold,” Vi said, her grin returning as her fingers closed around the woman’s hand. “And hoping you’ll remember tonight… in case it is just a passing moment and I don’t ever see you again.”
The woman opened her mouth, but no words came. Vi noticed the parts of her features not obstructed from the mask looked softer.
Vi leaned in slightly, close, but not yet touching. “Unless you don’t want to see each other again.”
The woman’s fingers flexed gently against Vi’s, holding her stare.
“I wouldn’t dream of that,” she said softly.
OR-
Vi and Cait meet at a masquerade, never learning each other's identities. But what happens when they meet again without the masks? Familiar details making them wonder, but them both convincing themselves it can’t be true.

Summary
“You wanted a reaction,” Caitlyn said. “And you got one.”
“Did I?”
“Yes,” she snapped. “You knew exactly where I was standing all night. You knew I was watching you.”
“I did,” Vi said, frustratingly smug. “The whole time.”
Caitlyn swallowed. “And you were watching me too, you know.” Her arms were still crossed, but the posture felt flimsy now.
Vi hesitated and leaned closer, voice low and rough. “I know you liked it.”
“You don’t get to decide what that meant,” Caitlyn scoffed.
Vi laughed quietly, humorlessly. “Then tell me, cupcake. What did it mean?”
OR
Caitlyn and Vi can't get along. One night at a bar is apparently all it takes to break the tension.

Summary
“And is it normal practice for the manager to get high before work?” Caitlyn demands.
My smile drops and I grimace, sucking in air through my teeth.
“Yeah, no, I mean… about that,” I rub a hand on the back of my neck sheepishly, “would you mind maybe not mentioning this?”
Caitlyn smirks at me in response. “It’s a bit soon to be asking me for favors, isn’t it?” she asks teasingly. “I haven’t even started the job yet.”
God, she’s gonna be hard work.
/ Vi's the manager at The Last Drop. Caitlyn's the new hire. Modern!AU.
