Never Look Back
by AL Jackson

Aster Costa once shattered Logan Lawson’s life, and now a rigged card game puts her future in his hands. Forced into a risky alliance to escape the chains of her past, they’re dragged into vengeance, temptation, and a second chance neither of them trusts.
Series background & context
Redemption Hills is a small-town romantic suspense series centered on a tight group of men who have all brushed up against danger, crime, or loss and now want something quieter. Instead they find a town that has sharp edges of its own and women who refuse to let them hide.
Each book follows a different couple, but the stories all circle around the Lawson brothers and the people they pull into their orbit. Club owners, mechanics, card sharks, and gruff mountain men are matched with teachers, single moms, and women on the run, all of them carrying secrets that refuse to stay buried.
In Give Me a Reason, Trent Lawson runs a ruthless club on the bad side of town and has no room in his life for lightness until Eden, a kindergarten teacher working a second job, walks into his world. Their romance sets the tone for the series, blending gritty back rooms, found family, and a fierce protectiveness for Trent’s young son.
Say It’s Forever shifts the focus to Jud Lawson, a tattooed mechanic who rescues Salem Aguilar when her car dies in a storm. She is a single mother and a woman who has been running for years, and the safety she thinks she finds in his garage and home is quickly tested when her past refuses to let go.
In Never Look Back, Logan Lawson and Aster Costa share a history marked by bad choices and betrayal. A high-stakes bet at an illegal card table forces them back into each other’s lives and into a dangerous bargain that ties revenge, survival, and the possibility of a second chance together. Later stories, like Milo and Tessa’s fake engagement in Promise Me Always, dig even deeper into what people will do to reclaim their kids and their future.
Across the series, Jackson threads in criminal threats, custody battles, and violence from old enemies, but the heart of the books lives in the kitchen tables, garages, and back porches of Redemption Hills. Siblings show up for each other, kids soften hardened men, and the town itself becomes a kind of adopted family, messy and imperfect yet worth fighting for.
You can read the Redemption Hills books as standalones, since each romance is complete, but they are richest in order as the Lawson family grows, villains retreat or resurface, and side characters you met in the background finally get their own chance at redemption.
