He thought he’d escaped the past...now it’s on his doorstep.

Racing to his hometown to warn his brother, Max, of imminent danger, Cordell Lander is unwelcome after six years’ absence. The town bad boy left Dry Gulch in disgrace, breaking Josie Brand’s heart. But the murderous stepfather he and Max thought dead is alive...and intent on revenge. And his threats make it clear he’ll harm anyone the brothers care about. Redeeming himself in Josie’s eyes and winning her heart again is Cordell’s desire. But saving those he loves from the monster from his past must be his priority.
