In the coming weeks, I'll share chapter 1 of Beyond Trust.

I currently don't have a firm cover, but I do have a working cover that's not complete. So, I'll be using it in the meantime.

I hope you'll enjoy what you read.

Here is the blog: Abilene Lee learned early how to stand alone. Orphaned at seventeen and hardened by years of whispers about the father she never knew, she turned every bruise—social or otherwise—into a prayer to the Lord. With top grades and relentless discipline, she dreams of Harvard Law, but money has a louder voice than ambition. Instead, she enrolls at the local university in Calf Creek, Texas—an institution bearing the name of the family that quietly controls the town.

Tyson Byford once seemed destined to inherit that power. Instead, he walked away from the family business, traded boardrooms for battlefields, and joined the Marines. Three years later, he returns home in a wheelchair, carrying scars no one can see and a future he no longer recognizes. In a town that measures worth by strength and legacy, Tyson feels like a ghost in his own life—until Abilene reminds him that survival is its own victory.

But the Byford name comes with shadows. Tyson’s brother, Doyle, has no intention of sharing power—or mercy. Ruthless and calculating, Doyle is determined to force Tyson out of the family law firm and erase him from the family itself. As Abilene and Tyson grow closer, their ambitions collide with Doyle’s schemes, pulling them into a fight that could cost them everything.

In Calf Creek, loyalty is wealth, power is inherited, and love might be the most dangerous risk of all. So, the battle begins, whether it's with power or love. Who will win?

See you soon.
