Neighbors

Colonel Ephraim Hanchard is at the end of his military career. The Army was all he knew. What was he supposed to do now that he was out? Sit around and play checkers at the VFW with all the other retirees? Not fucking likely. That's why he let fellow soldier and friend Mac talk him into buying a house in the man's hometown, Preston Falls. Ephraim expected to live a quiet life. A boring life. Little did he know he would be pressed into service again. Only, it would be to protect a pint size beauty named Evie.
Evelyn Gibbs was afraid of her own shadow. After a lifetime in an abusive marriage, the last thing she expected was to fall for her neighbor. A man bigger and more dangerous looking than her ex-husband. A military man. A man Nicky sent to protect her. She should have been afraid, but she wasn't. Her only fear was how was she going to find her way back into his arms again.
Ephraim and Evie were neighbors. With a little bit of luck, they may become more.
Warning: Some may find the discussion of physical abuse a trigger. It is only discussed. None is actually done in the book.
