The Godfather of the Rimrock

Betrayed by his family and fiancée, Adrian Vance disappears into the desert and rebuilds his life raising eight children. Eight years later, his sister, brother, and former love arrive to drag him home, dismissing the children as kids with no one to protect them. What they don’t know is that these kids are heirs to the most powerful mafia families in the country. When Adrian refuses to abandon them, their cruelty ignites a reckoning they cannot escape. As powerful allies arrive and buried lies unravel, the man they discarded must reclaim his dignity, protect his chosen family, and forge a legacy no bloodline can define.
