Jack Ryland came back seeking peace.
What he found was a community under siege. To those across the small town of Ashridge, Jack was a man trying to put his past behind him—content to work the land and live in quiet solitude. But those like Claire Fenton saw in him a defender—someone who could stand against ruthless developers led by Silas Rourke in their quest to seize the valley for profit. Drawn into the light, Jack must confront old wounds and new allies amid rising threats. As hidden motives and shadowy schemes converge, Jack is forced to rediscover what he’s willing to go to protect—and those who have given him reason to believe again. In Burden of Valor, the bonds of honor and community are tested in a heartfelt tale of resilience and sacrifice.
