Dual Reprisal

A man’s life is saved. A romance blooms. A killer is born.

Lucas Hart is a small-town lawman in 1950s Texas, who refuses to kill. He prides himself on being able to bring justice to the citizens of Barton without ever putting their lives in danger.

Charlotte Crawford knows nothing about her family’s checkered past. All she knows is the kindness of the father who raised her. When she begins dating local hero, Lucas Hart, her life seems complete.

But soon, someone will discover the truth. While overwhelmed by a string of gang-related crimes, Lucas finds himself forced to go head-to-head with a new class of criminal. When the conflicts end in tragedy, Lucas is determined to protect the people he cares about, but he’s a changed man, and everyone knows it. As the body count rises, Lucas must grapple with a new, brutal enemy, and Charlotte is faced with an impossible choice between her father and the man she loves.
