After nine years in the army, Asher Fitzgerald returns to Two Bear Meadow—a decorated sniper, a rancher, and the town’s quiet hero. But the war didn’t end when he came home. Haunted by PTSD and the brutal memories of captivity, Asher struggles to live beyond survival. The open fields of Montana mirror his isolation, and the ghosts of his past stalk every quiet night. When Asher falls in love, he falls hard. For a while, he dares to dream again—to build, to belong, to believe. But as despair and nightmares reclaim their hold, he’s forced to face the truth: before he can love anyone, he must first forgive himself. Desperate to heal, Asher finally seeks help, beginning a painful journey through therapy and self-reckoning. Along the way, life takes an unexpected turn—two foster boys enter his care, awakening a fragile new sense of purpose. Asher learns that strength isn’t just about enduring—it’s about choosing to live. The Lansing House is a moving story of redemption, resilience, and the courage to find peace after war. It’s about learning to let go of control, embrace vulnerability, and fight—not for survival, but for happiness.

AsherHe stared down at the edge of the cliff. It hadn’t snowed in a week, and the cold air felt good in his lungs. It took him back to a year earlier, when he’d also stared down the expanse. A year ago, he wanted to die, but today, he felt free.“If you want to jump, you’ll have to get off your horse,” Cassidy said, from behind him.Asher chuckled, and glanced at her over his shoulder. “What are you doing up here?”“I like the view,” she said.He regarded her for a few seconds, something niggling at the back of his mind. “How often do you come up here?”“Does it matter?”“Yeah, it matters, Cass,” he said.She sighed but didn’t look at him. She lifted her head up to the sky and closed her eyes. “Do you think you’ll make it?”“Yes. I made a choice. No matter how dark it gets, it’s always light when I wake up. The ranch, my family, the boys, Emerson and Henri, they bring the light.”“Asher.” Her voice was soft, filled with pain, and he knew she was still stuck there. He was, too, but no

EmersonIt was late afternoon by the time Asher’s truck parked in front of her house. She zipped the suitcase shut and walked out of her bedroom. Three other suitcases stood in the short entryway that led to the front door. She’d just entered the entryway, when the front door was opened, and Asher strode inside. His eyes immediately went to the suitcases, and then he was looking intently at her.She took a step toward him, but he held up his hand. His steely gray gaze was fixed on her, and she’d never seen someone in so much pain before. He took a deep breath before he opened his mouth. “You’re moving? You’re really going to do this?”“Yes,” she said softly.“When are you leaving?”“I have another suitcase in the bedroom, and there’s another one in Henri’s room. The rest can be boxed up by movers,” she saidAsher clenched his jaw and nodded his head. “Do I need to get a lawyer?”“Probably.”“When, Emerson?”“Today, the sooner the better it will be,” she said.“I can’t stop you from d

Asher“You okay?”Asher looked up from where he was still seated on his bed. “Yeah. I shouldn’t have hit Colt.”Blair huffed out a laugh. “He had it coming.”“Thank you, Blair.”“For what?” He frowned as he looked at Asher.“I might be older than you by 2 years, but you were the older brother when I wasn’t here. You kept them all together. You kept this family together,” Asher said.“I didn’t do anything you wouldn’t have done if you were here.” Blair wasn’t one for praises and compliments.“You like Cassidy, don’t you?”Blair shook his head, and sighed. “When she took you down, I nearly proposed right then, and there.”Asher laughed. “I taught her that move. I can’t believe she used it on me.”“My heart nearly stopped beating for a second there, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t hot as hell.”“Make sure you tell Colt before you try to beat the shit out of him, too,” Asher said, and got to his feet.“Did Emerson really say no?”“She didn’t say anything.” Asher let the towel fall to

AsherHe was in a blind rage, as he drove back to the ranch. He skidded to a halt in front of the barn. He couldn’t believe Colt would do this to him. They all knew he still loved her, despite what he’d said, they should know he’d never walk away from her.The betrayal stung, especially because it was Colt.His brother saw him coming, and was in fact waiting for him just inside the doors of the barn. Colt grinned, but it wasn’t a friendly grin, it was a taunt, an invitation.It only made Asher’s blood boil hotter. Colt timed it perfectly. His fist slammed against Asher’s jaw and he stumbled back. If he wasn’t ready to kill him, he’d praise his younger brother on his delivery.Asher’s fist connected with his diaphragm, and the air rushed out of Colt’s lungs. If it had been his ribs, they would’ve been broken. Asher knew that, and that’s why he’d avoided it. Colt didn’t hold back, his next swing connected to Asher’s ribs, and his hands encircled Colt’s throat.He pushed him backward as
