This book is historical fiction. The 'history' line of the narrative follows the challenges a group of Royalist French emigres faced as they escaped Paris and came to Philadelphia in 1793. They proceeded to travel up the Susquehanna River to establish a town in what was then wilderness, French Azylum. The 'fiction' element tells the coming-of-age story of one boy, Alain, who along with his mother manage an Inn at Azylum. Alain falls under the influence of a man of questionable character, Gaspard, who has secrets from France and uses deceit to influence Alain in a way that may change the course of European history. One central issue is why did Alain's father remain in France and not stay with his family as they made their way to Azylum? Along the way, Alain grows up, learns vital lessons about class status, falls in love and ultimately learns the truth about his father.

Jarrett Evans and Thayne Wolfe have been partnered in the ATF for nearly two years and their love and commitment to each other has grown over time. Now faced with one final challenge, the boys are headed to Arizona to help Thayne’s mom, stumbling headfirst into a brand new case. When a man is shot on Dot’s sister’s ranch, their informal investigation leads to the Native American reservation bordering the property. Juggling tricky tribal politics isn’t something Jarrett and Thayne are accustomed to but, as with most things in their lives, nothing is ever uncomplicated. When a surprise sighting shakes Thayne to his very foundation, they call out for help and their colleagues ride to the rescue along with a little help from the FBI. The mystery on the reservation only deepens when they start putting two and two together. Questionable cigarettes at the Ahtunowhiho Trading Post may be the least of their worries. From the mean streets of Los Angeles to the vast deserts of Arizona, Thayne and Jarrett once again brave the minefields of bad guys, bigshots, and a vicious betrayal that kicks them in the ass. But one thing is certain. Thru thunder and lightning, Jarrett and Thayne are never alone. They’ll fight for each other down to the last man standing, even if it costs them their very lives.
