James Reece should be dead. After surviving brain tumor surgery and dismantling the conspiracy that killed his pregnant wife and young daughter, this former Navy SEAL finds himself in Montana's breathtaking Flathead Valley. His college friend Raife Hastings has prepared a lakeside cabin as his sanctuary-complete with his father's prized six-point elk mount above the stone fireplace. The gesture leaves the hardened warrior momentarily speechless. The cabin represents more than shelter; it's a potential future for a man who never expected to survive his mission of vengeance. Investigative journalist Katie Buranek, who stood by him during recovery, offers a second chance at happiness. Yet even here, where ospreys dive for fish and elk graze in distant meadows, Reece remains vigilant. His SIG P320 X-Compact never leaves his side, and a Daniel Defense MK12 rifle sits ready behind his Land Cruiser's seat. During quiet evenings by the lake, where Montana sunsets paint the water in brilliant oranges and purples, Reece often sits with an empty chair beside him-a poignant reminder of the family he lost. Despite his formidable presence, these moments expose the raw emotional wounds that continue to drive his relentless pursuit of justice. The cabin may offer refuge, but true peace remains elusive for a man carrying such profound loss.
