Dallas Boone Welcome to Big Bend—my nightmare and my home, all in one. I don’t fit in here. I don’t fit in anywhere. I’ve made so many mistakes. Over and over. Two of those mistakes haunt me. One being responsible for a friend losing his job and reputation in this town. And two, well, that one is even worse. I ruined so many lives with one stupid decision I barely even remember. And now I’m going to pay for it. Colt Howe Kensley. A place I never wanted to be again. But I had to come back home. My sister Chloe needs me, which is more important than escaping the town I grew up in. I’m here for two reasons and two reasons my sister and my nephew. I’ll make sure my nephew has a better life than I had. That his father is there for him, whether he wants to be or not. That’s my promise. I was so damn close to getting out of this town for good. Right in that red zone, I could see the goal, but then I got hit with a force I never saw coming. And that changed everything.
