About the Book

A disgraced pro hockey goon crashes his motorcycle in the Chihuahuan Desert and finds his life entangled with the inhabitants of a local ranch.

Book Synopsis

For pro hockey goon Shane Bronkovsky, things are going south.

Disgraced pro-hockey enforcer Shane "Bronco" Bronkovsky crashes his motorcycle in the Chihuahuan Desert in New Mexico. Injured, helpless, and robbed by mysterious passersby, he is eventually rescued by one of the locals, Tammy DeWitt, who takes Shane to the hardscrabble ranch she runs. While shocked to discover the ranch raises rattlesnakes, Shane comes to relish the honest work and peace he finds there. His life quickly becomes entangled with those of the local denizens, including the ranch's children, as he and Tammy grow closer.

Through the lives he touches and the people he helps, Shane strives for redemption. Yet, as he struggles to tame the demons within and adjust to life away from the spotlight of professional sports, his past and present collide in an explosive climax.
