Stone Cold
Vincent Hargrove is nobody special. Sure, he's got baggage-tragedy destroyed his family and cost him his dreams. But the Job Corps wasn't so bad. He learned a trade, joined the IBEW Local 125 as an apprentice lineman, married the girl of his dreams, and put down roots. Just an average guy, living the dream. Until it became a nightmare.
Life as he knew it was a lie. Cheated on by the only woman he's ever loved, his heartache and bitter turmoil, compounded by past trauma, push him to the breaking point. Everything he took for granted falls apart, leaving him destitute, an empty shell.
Disappearing without a trace, he retreats into the Cascade foothills of central Oregon to live in complete isolation on an inherited piece of land, his only companion, a spirited and deceptively cunning pup with a knack for mischief.
Running doesn't solve his problems, and when his past catches up, he must come to terms with his estranged ex and her new partner. A bitter divorce uncovers dark family secrets and sinister plots. Old traumas resurface when he finds himself at odds with his fractured family, determined to bury their ugly past. None of it will keep him from exacting his revenge on those who wronged him.
His vendetta becomes two-fold when he encounters a pregnant woman fleeing human traffickers determined to silence her at all costs. The bad guys are ruthless and deadly, with no morals or reservations. That suits Vince just fine. He's done running.
