You can’t bury the past on this land.

It digs itself out.

After escaping an abusive past and the shadow of a stalker who knows the terrain better than law enforcement, Stacy Parker returns to the last place she ever thought she’d call home—Carter Ranch, nestled deep in the mountains of Big South Fork, Tennessee. She expected hard labor, quiet nights, and maybe a few awkward silences from the gruff ex-soldier bunking down the hall.

She didn’t expect sabotage.
Or the message carved into the tree.

Ryder Blackwell came to the ranch to disappear—to bury the ghosts of a failed black ops mission and the betrayal that destroyed his team. But when the land itself starts whispering secrets only someone with military training could’ve left behind, Ryder realizes Stacy’s past and his own might be colliding in real time.

As drones circle overhead, fences are cut from the inside, and the dog that saved Ryder’s life goes missing… the hunt begins.

And this time, they’re not just fighting for survival—they’re fighting for something worth believing in.

BROKEN RANGE is a gritty, slow-burn suspense thriller packed with psychological tension, tactical grit, and rural danger that builds to a fiery final stand.
For fans of The Terminal List, Longmire, and Where the Crawdads Sing—this is what happens when the past comes home armed.
