Thorne's Reckoning

In the rugged heart of the San Juan Mountains, Deputy U.S. Marshal Cassidy "Cass" Thorne is used to being the hunter. With her sun-kissed blonde hair and a reputation for being as tough as the granite peaks she patrols, Cass returns to her small Colorado hometown on the trail of a federal fugitive. She expects a routine extraction, but she doesn't expect to find her primary witness-and biggest complication-is the man she left behind ten years ago.

Ty McAllister is a rancher with the grit of the high country in his bones. Since Cass left, he's poured his life into the family's sprawling cattle ranch, a life of quiet labor and wide-open spaces. But when a group of professional mercenaries descends on his land looking for the same man Cass is tracking, Ty's peaceful existence is shattered. The ranch becomes a battleground, and Ty finds himself forced to trade his lariat for a rifle.

As the sun sets over the jagged Colorado horizon, the heat between Cass and Ty proves just as dangerous as the men hunting them. Old sparks ignite into a fierce, undeniable flame, forcing them to confront the secrets that drove them apart. Cass is a woman of the law, bound by duty and a badge; Ty is a man of the land, bound by family and his own code of honor. Together, they are a formidable force, but the rugged terrain and a cunning enemy are closing in.

When a high-stakes mountain pursuit turns into a desperate stand at the ranch's historic gorge, Cass and Ty must rely on each other to survive. It's a race against time and a hail of gunfire to bring the fugitive to justice and protect the land Ty loves. In the thin air of the Rockies, where one wrong step means a thousand-foot fall, they'll discover that some bonds are forged in fire-and some loves are worth the fight of a lifetime.

Filled with high-octane action, breathtaking mountain scenery, and a slow-burn romance that hits like a summer storm, Thorne's Reckoning is a gripping tale of redemption and courage under fire.
