After years of military service and a lifetime of sacrifice, Victor Cruz seeks a peaceful life in the quiet village of Oakridge. But tranquility is short-lived when a mysterious woman, Sarah D. Almaty, moves in next door with her two children—children who, as rumors suggest, may not even be hers. When Sarah’s past catches up with her and the children are taken, Victor is forced to confront a powerful mafia syndicate, the Cruze Familia, an enemy far more dangerous than anything he faced on the battlefield.
