S.W.O.R.D.

Three intimate relationships with three very different women, Wyatt Loveday struggles to find peace and happiness after a decade of clandestine service to his country.
A retired U.S. Army intelligence officer and then a private undercover operative, he faces multiple forks in the road in his search for peace and good fortune, both emotional and materialistic. At heart, Wyatt is a cowboy; he returns to the Pilot Knob Ranch.
A young, female veterinarian is Wyatt’s ticket to a normal, civilian life, but his approach will need to be altered when a former love interest and fellow SWORD comrade shows up unexpectedly. Both relationships implode during an ill-advised attempt to rescue her from a perilous situation.
Indoctrinated to avoid emotional connection, Phil struggles with how to cope with a female archaeologist while they explore rumors of $ five million in bandit plunder hidden somewhere on the ranch.
Prosperity doesn’t coincide with freedom. Love is mightier than the SWORD, unless you’re a former vigilante.
