On the Border is an adventure story that just might be the modernized version of a certain legendary Old West hero.  Jon Reid is a very honest man, and takes great pride in his job as a Texas Ranger.  When he dares to testify against a fellow Ranger, he is ostracized, mocked, and then exiled to a task force of rejects from several agencies.  Reid and his new team start scoring successes, and rack up some impressive arrests.  This draws the attention, and wrath, of a large drug cartel.  The task force is ambushed, and only Reid survives, found nearly dead by an Apache Army Ranger Veteran.  The two both have a strong sense of justice and decide the cartel needs to pay.  But with the cartel's influence and corruption spread so far, what can just two men do?

Well, when one of them is dead already, then, as the song goes, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."  The pair attack the cartel, raiding counting houses, drug distribution places, and bands of thugs.  Soon their legend begins to spread.  The cartel doesn't take them seriously at first.  After all, it's just an Indian and one, lone, ranger...All Rights Reserved

Alex Landon Starter Library: "The Sampler" by GavinTheCop

This contains one chapter from three difference Alex Landon stories to give readers a sample of my writing and the characters from this series. OPERATION BARRICADE Arizona drug task force detectives and SWAT teams begin using coordinated, small-unit military tactics to combat human trafficking and narcoterrorism, and quickly make several multimillion dollar seizures. When the Mexican drug cartels retaliate by viciously targeting the officers and their families, how can the cops protect the community while fighting to defend themselves? THE RECIDIVIST Homicide detectives identify the lone suspect in a heinous double murder as the victims' son, a recently paroled meth-addict, adamantly professes his innocence and blames an unidentified killer. As politicians, police administrators, and the victims' family demand the ex-con's immediate conviction, mounting conflicts force detectives to question both his guilt, and their moral and legal obligations to investigate exculpatory evidence. THE TOXIN Cops investigate a series of seemingly unrelated mass murders caused by an unknown biotoxin. As hundreds frantically work to identify the agent and its antidote, the unidentified suspects begin targeting cops, prosecutors, and judges with such ferocity that law enforcement must choose between protecting the public and protecting itself.

The Polaroid Girls by SirenWithNoPitch

"Every truth comes with a price. Are you willing to pay yours?" After getting hurt in what she was told was an awful accident, Laina Evans lost all of her memories. All memories of her family, her life before, and even herself. However, with the support of her boyfriend, Ethan, she was able to move forward after failing to gain back her lost memories. Seven years later, Laina and Ethan are happily engaged, living together in rural Georgia, and are three months pregnant. All seems perfect until the new deputy comes to town and everything changes. Laina is given a second shot to recover her memories and learn about her past. But what she finds may lead to more questions, more secrets, and more betrayals than she ever could have imagined. Royce Hernandez needs to escape--his family, his demons, and his guilt. So, he packs up and takes the farthest job from home that he can get, which happens to be the new deputy sheriff position in small town Rosemont, Georgia. He thinks the sleepy town will give him a break from his life and give him time to think, but he is all too wrong when a nine year old girl is abducted from her home in the next town over. With leads drying up and the case going cold, Royce takes risks to try and find the man who took her. What he doesn't realize until he digs deeper and deeper for answers, is that the man who took Natalie Cabell could have also been tied to twelve other missing girls across the country. With the clock ticking down and the suspects dwindling, will he find and save Natalie Cabell in time? Or will this serial abductor outsmart him too and shatter his new life here?

Breaking Boundaries (5th in Breaking Series) by conleyswifey

**Be aware that this is a manXman story so if that bothers you then please don't read! 5th in Breaking Series. There are certain things that make a man a man in late 1870's Texas. Being able to rope, ride and handle cattle to name a few. Shooting from the hip, playing poker and throwing back whiskey never hurt either. Nick could do all those things but none of that would matter if anyone knew the truth about him-if anyone knew his secret. So to protect that secret, Nick keeps to himself as he works on the ranch at Atkinson Spread. He likes his job and the bosses are decent but Nick is lonely. Covered in scars, both of the physical and emotional variety, he longs for one person he can truly be himself around. That one person he can love. Aiden is running. He's been running since his family realized what he was, called him an abomination and cursed him to death. Bakerstown Texas is where his legs and his will to run finally give out. Somehow he finds himself hired on to work at Atkinson spread though he knows nothing about cattle. He has already resigned himself to a life alone but that thought goes out the window when he lays his eyes on a ranch hand named Nick. Even then, Aiden knows he can't have Nick. Nick doesn't seem to suffer from the same condition that Aiden was born with and so there's not a lot Aiden can do about his attraction to the other man. Until a night at the saloon goes a bit too far...... Can these two men be together or will their secret be found out and their disease dealt with the frontier way?
