Jake's Redemption
The Angel Eyes Series Prequel (Book 0.5)
A Post Apocalyptic Dystopian Romance Novel
An imprisoned cowboy.
An empowered woman.
When true love is forbidden,
opening their hearts could destroy them both…
Chained and enslaved, Jake Nichols is convinced he’ll die alone. In this new order where men are stripped of all power, he endures brutal torture at the hands of his female captor. But when he’s hired out to build a ranch home for an outspoken beauty, his dreams of escape transform into visions of passion.
Monica Avery struggles to fill her heart in a loveless society. With marriage outlawed and romantic partners reduced to pawns, she’s given up hope of finding her soul mate. But watching the rugged rancher hard at work on her shelter awakens deeply buried desires.
As the project comes together, Monica discovers a kindred spirit in the tenderhearted Jake. But despite their growing attraction, he still belongs to a cruel woman who'd rather see him dead than free.
Can Monica save Jake, or will their love lead to a tragic tomorrow?

Midwest Book Review
“Jake’s Redemption is a rare, genre-blending gem—a gripping mix of cowboy romance and dystopian sci-fi that delivers steamy tension, rich emotional depth, and a story that lingers long after the final page.
In a world where power has shifted and men live as slaves, Jake Nichols is broken, tortured, and near the end of hope—until he's hired out to Monica, a fiercely independent woman building a life on the frontier. What begins as survival slowly transforms into something tender and powerful.
Unlike typical dystopian tales, this story is firmly rooted in romance—with heartfelt character growth, psychological nuance, and a smoldering connection that grows against all odds.
This is not just a prequel. It’s a full-bodied, emotional journey about love in a world turned upside down—where forgiveness, trust, and passion mean everything.”

Red City Reviews
“Jake’s Redemption boldly blends dystopian grit with Western romance, delivering a story that’s nearly impossible to put down. In a brutal world where women rule and men are enslaved, Jake Nichols—once a rancher and builder—is stripped of freedom but not his soul.
Enter Monica Avery, a woman searching for her soulmate in a society that forbids such vulnerability. But watching Jake work with quiet strength and integrity begins to change her.
Author Jamie Schulz defies expectations, seamlessly weaving rustic cowboys into a dark, dystopian world where trust and love are dangerous acts of rebellion. Schulz’s character work shines—Jake, Monica, and even secondary characters like Angel are deeply layered, and every emotional beat feels earned.
Raw, romantic, and relentlessly compelling, Jake’s Redemption is more than a prequel—it’s the beginning of a powerful, passionate saga.”
