War

By Tb Millette

Jax Shepard survived three tours as a Green Beret, but he's about to find out that no war stays overseas. Returning to his family's 400-acre Texas ranch, Jax wants nothing more than to trade his rifle for the peace of the red clay soil. But the air at Ghost Ridge doesn't smell like cedar anymore--it tastes of unrefined gasoline and impending blood.

Mateo Sangre, a cold-blooded cartel lieutenant known as El Verdugo, has mapped out Jax's legacy as the perfect smuggling route. To Mateo, land is just a spreadsheet and lives are merely overhead costs. When the cartel marks Jax's cattle and threatens his home, they expect a tired soldier to fold. Instead, they find a man whose obsession with his ancestral soil is more dangerous than any cartel hit squad.

Caught in a territorial war that mirrors the insurgencies he fought abroad, Jax must employ the very tactics he once used in Kandahar to defend his own fence line. But as the town square becomes a killing field and the body count rises, Jax faces a crushing realization: there is no honorable way to finish a war on your own doorstep. Can he dismantle Mateo's organization before he becomes the monster he's trying to keep out?

War is a pulse-pounding vigilante thriller perfect for fans of Jack Reacher and Yellowstone. This gritty, high-stakes battle for survival explores what happens when a warrior brings the frontline home.
