RUST BENEATH THE HALO x GATOR TILLMAN

in a county ruled by faith, fear, and the tillman name, loyalty isn't a choice - it's survival.

when emt maren vale moves to town, she expects small-town quiet. what she gets is gator tillman: reckless, impulsive, and desperate to prove he's more than just the sheriff's son.

everyone says he's dangerous.
maren sees something else.

behind the swagger and bar fights is a boy raised on expectations he can't escape - and a father who demands obedience over humanity.

but falling for the wrong man in the wrong town comes with consequences.
because when gator is forced to choose between becoming the monster his father wants..or protecting the one person who believes he can be better...

someone is going to bleed.
and this time it won't just be on maren's boots.
