Bitter Vendetta: Rocky Mountain Pursuit (Cactus Springs Book 1)

When evil comes knocking, four lives will be tested—and only faith, and the courage to follow it, can bring them through the fire.

Agent Tate Harris: Davis has destroyed countless lives—including Harris’s closest friend. While Davis sits behind bars, Harris builds the case meant to lock him away for good. But just before trial, Davis escapes with ruthless precision, leaving a murdered inmate behind—and Harris knows exactly where he’s headed: straight for the women who testified against him. Racing across the country, Harris must stop Davis before justice turns into vengeance and protect a woman whose quiet faith is stronger than she realizes—and whose fiancé is willing to risk everything to keep her safe.

Edgar Davis: Once blessed with talent, charm, and a future built on applause, Davis believes the world stole what he deserved. Now he’s taking it back. As he closes in on those he blames for his downfall, faith, courage, and redemption stand between him and the vengeance he craves.

Chiara Hansley: In Cactus Springs, Chiara prepares for her wedding to Rune Boleyn, her steady, dependable fiancé. She’s rebuilding her life after the trauma Davis inflicted years ago, clinging to faith, routine, and family. But when night falls, fear still whispers—and as danger draws near, Chiara begins to sense cracks beneath the calm in her heart and in the future she’s convinced is right.

Rune Boleyn: Rune has kept his heart locked away for years, but when Chiara disappears, every wall he built begins to crumble. Desperate, he turns to the only hope left—God—and follows the faint trail she leaves behind. Battling gunmen, wolves, and the ghosts of her past, Rune risks everything to bring her home.

Emery Hansley: Emery spent years resenting his sister’s dependence—and when she needed him most, he wasn’t there. Now Davis has ripped her from his life, and the guilt he buried surges to the surface. As fear turns to panic and anger collides with the faith he abandoned long ago, Emery faces a painful truth: he can’t save his sister by sheer force of will. To stand against the darkness hunting her, he must confront the darkness within himself.

A story of courage, redemption, and the relentless light of God in the face of human darkness—perfect for readers who crave Christian suspense with deep emotional stakes and unwavering faith.
