Description
He never stopped loving her.
She never stopped believing she didn't deserve it.
Sheriff Henry Wilder holds together a town full of broken lives and bitter secrets, but none of the damage cuts deeper than the woman who lives just thirty-six yards away -- who hasn't dared meet his eyes in ten years.
Louisiana Wright never left Thunder Ridge. She left him.
Because she's convinced she's poison -- a barren woman with nothing left to give, a heart hardened by pain, a future shattered before it began. She's convinced Henry deserves better than her broken pieces.
But when Henry finds Dallas -- a kid standing on the same ground where his own family damn near fell apart -- everything cracks wide open. Dallas isn't marked by bruises, but by desperate silence -- waiting for someone to fight for him, to claim him, to not let him vanish.
In a move no one saw coming, Henry claims Lou as his fiancée. One lie. One ring. One reckless gamble to hold on to the only family they have left.
Now they're forced together in the wreckage of their past -- under a town's watchful gaze, with a boy who sees too much, and a slow-burning rage between them that never really died.
Every glance is a battle. Every word, a knife-edge. Every touch threatens to shatter the fragile peace they barely hold.
This isn't about forgiveness.
This isn't about closure.
This isn't about second chances.
It's a slow burn soaked in gasoline.
And someone's bound to strike the match.
This Violent Reckoning is a brutal Southern slow burn -- about grief that lingers, family that's found in fire, and a love that never died... just waited for the right moment to explode.
