Prodigal Son
Thomas Jackson spent seven years in prison for a single, brutal instant of self-defense - and came out to a family that had already decided who he was. His mother never stopped believing in him. His sisters mostly did. His ex-wife made sure of it.
Rebuilding alone in the Florida Panhandle, Thomas finds steady work at a shipyard, a fragile peace with the two kids he's fighting to know again, and - against every odd - love, in a combat medic named Renee who isn't afraid of what his hands once did. Then his nephew is murdered in Arizona, and his sister's grief turns to threats, and threats turn to blood on the porch.
Thomas has the training. He has the buried cache of weapons and cash he never told anyone about. And he has nothing left to lose. What starts as one family's reckoning becomes a full-scale war against a cartel corridor - recruiting old brothers-in-arms, burning down a supply chain, and drawing the attention of a boss who respects him even as he plans to bury him.
When the smoke clears, Thomas has to decide what's left to save, what he's willing to become to save it, and whether a debt like this one can ever really be called paid.
Prodigal Son is a story about the cost of family loyalty, the weight of old training in new hands, and how far a broken man will go to become whole again.
