Beautiful people.
Terrible situations.

Larak and Cedar have survived enough to know that safety is temporary. They’re beginning to hope that being together won’t be.

But Reed is still out there, and the Syndicate’s reach extends far beyond the desert they thought they understood. As an investigation into Red Mountain uncovers a network built on moving people and burying evidence, Cedar’s family is drawn into a fight that refuses to stay in the past. Scarlet has her own reasons for following the trail—and secrets that could change everything for the people she’s trying to protect.

For Larak, the danger has a familiar face: his brother’s. For Cedar, protecting the man he loves means confronting how much he can control, and what happens when he can’t.

From Arizona to Pittsburgh, the search for answers brings uneasy alliances, painful revelations, and the possibility of a home worth staying alive for. But Reed has no intention of letting them build a future beyond his reach.

The sequel to How Far the Sky, The Shattered Horizon is a queer romantic suspense novel about family loyalties, the cost of survival, and two men determined to have a life together—even while the people they’re fighting keep trying to decide how it ends.
