    Hunter Shaw is handsome, charming, and a minor celeb on the collegiate team roping circuit. So it's no surprise when he's ardently pursued to be the star on a new streaming network's debut program—a reality dating show. The money would do wonders for his family's charity, but it's only after catching a glimpse of the show's host that he’s all-in. The former Ms. Montana catches his eye and his interest . . . inconvenient, to say the least, when he's about to date twenty women on national television. 
     
     
     
    Kipton Howse also desperately needs the money from hosting Swipe Right, but for different reasons. She'll do her job, collect her payment, then put Shaw Ranch in her rearview. Of course, she didn't count on loving the place so much . . . or the entire Shaw family . . . or Hunter himself. From the moment they meet, sparks fly, and they only get hotter as the show continues, despite a houseful of women vying for his attention. 
     
     
     
    Sexual tension is at an all-time high when things take a dramatic turn, both on and off the cameras, thanks to the show's rabid fans—who vote to shake things up in a way no one saw coming.

    It’s 2016, and Dalton Edwards is tasked with fitting in with the locals in Briarton, Ohio. There’s something going on in this rural, sleepy county of only 28,000 people, and his higher-ups want Dalton to uncover it. Easier said than done! 
    Dalton immediately discovers the community is tight-knit, and not easily infiltrated. His boss says it’s a pot-growing operation, but Dalton thinks it’s much bigger than that. Before his assignment is over, eight family members are murdered under circumstances that Dalton knows have nothing to do with a hydroponic weed operation or a custody dispute. 
    As the mass murder makes international news, Dalton is determined to find the murderer (or murderers) and expose the guilty to seek justice for the slain. It won’t be easy, and in the end, one more local will perish. Dalton will not rest until those responsible are held accountable. 
    *This novel is fictional, but based on true events that happened in Pike County, Ohio, in April of 2016. The names and locations have been fictionalized, and the conclusions contained in this work of fiction are purely a product of the author's imagination.
