A novel by Ethan Westfield
With a saddle bag full of stolen gold and dreams of a new beginning, Jeremiah rides across the untamed plains of Oklahoma. His destination is Treasure Coast, a fabled paradise in Mexico that he discovered in the pages of an old book. Fueled by hope and accompanied by his fiancée and a trusted friend, Jeremiah is determined to turn the fantasy into reality. But the Des Gang, once his allies, are relentless in their pursuit, eager to reclaim what Jeremiah took from them—and they won't stop until blood is spilled.
Can he outrun his enemies, or will they reclaim what’s theirs in blood?
Young Mattie’s life was shattered when masked men with feathers in their hats stormed her family’s cabin, dragging her parents into the cold night. Hidden under her bed as her mother had instructed, she prayed they wouldn’t find her. But fate was cruel, and she was discovered, torn from her home, and left injured and alone. Just as despair set in, a stranger dressed in black appeared, rescuing her from the darkness. Now, she journeys south to Mexico with this mysterious man, unsure if she’ll ever see her family again or understand why he chose to save her.
Will she discover the reason why?
As Jeremiah and Mattie head toward an uncertain future, the shadows of Jeremiah’s past threaten to unravel their fragile hope. Will they escape the grasp of the Des Gang and build a new life, or will the sins of Jeremiah's past bring them to ruin?
