Beyond the Bust

The residents of Williston, North Dakota know that blood runs thicker than water . . . and that bad things come in threes. The Bakken series continues in this fast-paced mystery romance, which proves nothing is stronger than love (except, perhaps, family secrets). 

Ramona "Mony" Strong is ready for a low-stress romance. Finally reunited with her "second-chance" romance-and childhood crush-Nate Ferguson, she's ready to take things easy and watch his music career take off.

That is, until stolen land deeds, missing girls, and murder come into play. Now, Mony and Nate are forced to prove their love . . . and their innocence.

This multiple POV drama brings back Bakken series fan favorites, including Mony's former fling John, an oil company lawyer whose moves are as slick as the companies he represents.

Fans of the series and steamy romance novels can look forward to a:

●     later in life romance that goes beyond "cougar getting the cabana boy,"

●     complicated family dynamics and shifting loyalties,

●     stunning landscapes and a fast-paced, character-driven plot,

●     and an 8/10 spice level.

Fans of Tex by Liz Issacson, The Gift at Sugar Sand Inn by Leigh Duncan, and the scintillating scenes of Sylvia Day's Crossfire series will love this latest addition to Julien Bradley's Bakken series.

Julien's Bradley's Bakken series is known for bringing mystery, intrigue, and the chemistry of steamy romance novels to a trope-breaking style where happy endings are never guaranteed.

When loyalties falter, will love remain?
