The Fighting Edge

June Tolliver has made herself hard out here on the frontier, the only way to survive. She and her father Pete live remote, self-sufficient, building their strength through isolation and mutual reliance. But when Jake Houck rides in from Pete's past, bringing old debts and dangerous intentions, June's carefully constructed world begins to crack. He's menacing, possessive, and utterly unmoved by her independence. As tensions escalate and her father's secrets unravel, June must decide whether to fight for what she loves or let the frontier swallow her whole. Raine writes the West as both beautiful and brutal, a landscape that shapes and threatens in equal measure. This is frontier fiction at its core: a story about holding your ground when everything and everyone conspires to pull you under.
