THE RECKONING: A COPPER SPRINGS CROSSOVER NOVEL

Some homecomings are reunions. Josie Malone's is a death sentence.

A Navy veteran with nerves forged in combat, Josie returns to the small town of Copper Springs carrying a secret that changes everything—her mother's death wasn't an accident, and whoever is responsible is already watching her. When she discovers her grandparents are being terrorized by the same shadowy threat, Josie knows she has one mission: expose the truth before it buries her alongside it.

Then someone runs her off the road and leaves her for dead.

Surviving a staged car crash is terrifying enough. Waking up to find that her only lifeline is a man she considers her enemy? That's a different kind of danger entirely. He walks a razor's edge between ally and adversary, and Josie can't afford to trust him—even as their uneasy alliance pulls them closer with every threat, every near miss, every moment where survival feels personal.

In Copper Springs, nothing is what it seems. Neighbors smile while hiding lethal secrets. The people Josie loves most are caught in a web of deception decades in the making. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes that the most dangerous thing isn't the enemy in the shadows—it's the man beside her, slowly dismantling every wall she's built.

In this pulse-pounding romantic suspense, trust is a weapon, love is a risk, and the truth costs everything.
