Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an origin story in the true American tradition. Before Bass Reeves could stake his claim as the most successful nineteenth-century American lawman, arresting more outlaws than any other deputy during his thirty-two-year career as a deputy US marshal in some of the most dangerous regions of the Wild West, he was a slave. After a childhood picking cotton, Reeves became an expert marksman under his master's tutelage, winning shooting contests throughout the region. His skill had serious implications, however, as the Civil War broke out.

THE HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED SEQUEL HAS ARRIVED! When Jett’s life spins out of control, the last thing she expects is for a fallen stranger to crash into her world—literally.

He’s hiding secrets that defy logic… secrets that make him powerful, untouchable, and unlike anyone Jett’s ever met. But power comes with enemies, and Naz has more than his share—enemies willing to do anything to destroy him and anyone who dares love him. ...
