Asonta Armstrong never planned to return to Dasher. But with repeated calls from his eldest brother, Achille, he is back in Dasher and in the middle of explosive drama in the small town, now with the duty as the town’s new sheriff. 
What he finds is a town rotting from the inside out.
Beneath the surface of southern charm and small-town tradition lies a network of corruption tied to the powerful and the protected. Businessman Tucker Freeman has his hands in everything: illegal land transfers, stolen property, bribery, and worse, crimes swept under the rug by officials that the citizens of Dasher once trusted. Asonta didn’t come back looking for a fight, but the deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: Dasher needs cleansing. And he might be the only man willing to burn it all down.
But just as he begins to peel back the layers of deceit, another truth hits closer to home. Amira, the woman he loved and lost, has been hiding a life-altering secret, one that shakes Asonta to the core and forces him to reckon with everything he thought he knew about love and the past they never got to finish.
Now caught between justice and revenge, legacy and love, Asonta must decide how far he’s willing to go to expose the truth and what he’s willing to lose in the process.
