Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Masterson paid a steep price for doing the right thing, but it might be more than worth it if he can get through tough cop Les Stanton—and if they can survive one man's plans for vengeance. All Adam Masterson tried to do was the right thing—stop a psychotic man from hurting anyone else. While he may have succeeded, he also put himself in the crosshairs of the man's wealthy father, and Adam soon finds himself battered, homeless and unemployed. When his mother is also evicted from her home, Adam packs up his car and takes Charlene, his mother, with him as he heads to Texas to plead for help from someone he isn't sure will help. When officer Les Stanton pulls over the beater car with Montana plates, he already knows who is in the vehicle. His friend Josh has been complaining about his partner, Nick, helping out the too-attractive blond from Montana. Les soon finds himself irresistibly drawn to Adam. Even his fear of Charlene can't keep him away. Now, if he can just let go of the past and learn to trust, he and Adam might have a chance-unless one wealthy man swearing vengeance destroys them both.

Book excerpt: Why did they kill Sammy Saint John? In the small pine-shaded town of Savage Ridge, Nick, Emmy, and Pete have murdered their high school classmate, Sammy Saint John. His body is never found, and with no crime to answer for, they make a pact to escape...and never come back. Ten years later, each has been drawn home, seemingly by coincidence. But private investigator Sloane Yo has them in her sights. As she circles, the net tightens around the three friends, but also around her employers, the powerful family who have run Savage Ridge for generations with an iron fist: the Saint Johns. What is it they aren't telling Sloane? And what if Sammy is not the only victim she should be avenging? For fans of True Detective, Ozark, and Chris Whitaker's We Begin at the End, Savage Ridge is a shattering, propulsive crime thriller set deep in the pines of the American Pacific Northwest.
