I'm currently working on Book 2 of my Boys of Syracuse, Kansas series. Book 1 used to be titled Blinding Justice, but I renamed it to fit with the series concept. It is now Last Shot at Justice, and will be re-released November 21st, 2014. (There are only minor tweaks to Justice, so if you've already read it, you won't need to re-purchase the re-release--unless of course you want to.)
Book 2 is called Last Second Chance, and it features Mitzi's brother, Tim, who just got out of prison and is trying to start his life over. He asks Mitzi for help, and she agrees to sponsor his move to Syracuse. Once he is there, he meets the cast of characters who make up the town of Syracuse, Kansas, and the Lazy J Ranch. He also meets Janie, Blue's sister and the town vet, and his attraction to her grows as they get to know each other while tending to a sick horse together. However, he is keenly aware of his status as an ex-con, and he resists acting on his attraction. At first he doesn't want to subject himself to the humiliation of her rejection when she finds out about his past. Then he doesn't want to subject her to 'his kind of trouble', the stigma of being a criminal.
See, Janie has had plenty of trouble in her life. She was 17 when she gave birth to her daughter after the father ran off, and she endured the whispers of the people in the small town of Syracuse, as well as the 'usual' challenges of being a single mom. She had just about resigned herself to staying single when Tim shows up and awakens desires she had given up on long ago. And since Cody, her daughter's father, turned up in town again, she is all kinds of confused. Cody apparently wants back in her life, but Janie is pretty sure she won't get past her anger to let him in. And Tim...she doesn't know what to do with her interest in him.
Lurking in the background to all of this romance, someone from Tim's past is hell bent on tracking him down. Someone who wants to reel him back into the life of crime he thinks he's left behind, or failing that, make him dead for getting caught in the first place.
