Loaded for Revenge (Book #2 of Dark Sheriff Series)
When Thomas Pruitt arrives in Auburn with his new bride, he hopes to reconcile with his estranged father, Sheriff Joseph Pruitt. But the reunion is anything but peaceful. Elizabeth, Joseph's devoted wife, welcomes Thomas into their fractured family only to find herself the target of a series of violent attacks. As bodies begin to fall and bullets fly, Elizabeth must unravel a deadly mystery that threatens everyone she loves.
Haunted by betrayal and hunted by those he once trusted, Thomas is forced to confront the truth about his outlaw past and the dark legacy of the Pruitt name. Meanwhile, Joseph's old enemies, including his ruthless brother Randall and Thomas's best friend Frank, descend on California with vengeance in their hearts.
In a town where loyalty is tested and blood ties run deep, Joseph's mantra that family takes care of family, takes on a chilling new meaning. Will forgiveness triumph over revenge, or will the sins of the past destroy them all?

Jan 19, 2026 - I completed the first draft of this book in 2018, and my brother Richard edited it. After he passed, I let the book sit for a while, brought it back, and integrated it into the Dark Sheriff series. Thanks, Richard! - Roger Mendoza
