Hard Time
Everyone wants him caught. Someone wants him dead.
On the frozen backroads of upstate New York, Army veteran Mason Sharpe picks up a hitchhiker stranded in the cold.
Minutes later, a sheriff’s deputy pulls them over. Three gunshots ring out, the deputy collapses into the snow, and the hitchhiker disappears into the woods.
Joining local cops on the manhunt, Mason learns the truth: the hitchhiker is Shane Hagan, an escaped federal inmate and fellow special forces veteran.
But when a second encounter erupts into a gunfight in the winter forest, Mason sees what the cops are missing - someone wants Hagan silenced.
Caught in the middle of a deadly web, Mason must choose—trust the system that convicted Hagan or believe a fellow veteran’s desperate story and help him save his family. Make the wrong call, and Mason could end up in prison.
But some bonds are worth any risk. And Mason Sharpe has never been afraid of Hard Time.

Logan Ryles
In the world of high-stakes thrillers, where a wrong turn can mean death and trust is a currency few can afford, Logan Ryles has carved out a space where danger feels real—and so do the people facing it.
Long before his name appeared on bestseller lists, Ryles was navigating the backroads of Alabama, working jobs that ranged from pizza delivery to alpaca shearing. It’s an unlikely origin story for a writer whose books now echo through the kindles and shelves of action-thriller fans around the world. But those early years—immersed in small-town grit and unpredictable detours—taught him what adrenaline feels like off the page. That same pulse drives the pacing of every novel he writes.
