Cypress Run is a character-driven swamp noir western featuring a heartwarming long-burn romance, an unforgettable found family, and a redemption-seeking lawman trying to build a new life and survive the untamed frontier of 1880s Florida. Also alligators.
Tom Bracken was a good detective in Chicago. Good enough to know that if you're going to make enemies, you should do it spectacularly well or not at all.
Which is how, in the winter of 1883, he finds himself exiled to Cypress Run, Florida: a swamp-soaked frontier town where the alligators outnumber the citizens, the politics are deadlier than the wildlife, and the most dangerously competent woman he's ever met spends most of her time calling him an idiot.
(She's not entirely wrong.)
He isn't prepared for the heat. He isn't prepared for the swamp. And he absolutely isn't prepared for Ellie Harper, a sharp-eyed nurse who sees straight through his charm and refuses to let him hide behind it.
As the newly sworn-in sheriff of Cypress Run, Tom is completely out of his depth. In Chicago, he could read a crime scene like a poker hand. In Florida, he can't even eat an orange without nearly killing himself.
But when a murdered surveyor turns up in the creek and railroad money begins shifting the balance of power, Tom realizes his exile isn't a punishment-it's a test.
And the deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes that survival will require more than quick aim and quicker wit.
In a town where the swamp devours the careless and politics devour the honest, Tom must decide if he's the sort of man who lets a little thing like Florida get the best of him-and whether he's brave enough to build a future with a woman who has dark secrets of her own.
He'll need every trick he has to survive in Cypress Run-where the law runs brackish and relationships are murkier than swamp water.
