    About this ebook

    Can a retired military man finally claim his childhood friend as his lover when they've both changed, and a world of experience and problems lies between them?

     

    Jarrod

    I've retired from the military and moved home with two goals:

     

    1—to go into business with my best friend.

    2—to stake a claim on Chrissie, the gorgeous woman who haunts my dreams.

     

    Number two bothers me because, while she's currently single, I know nothing about her private life or marriage. I'm about to find out…

     

    Chrissie

    Since my husband died, life has been challenging. I work long hours to pay the bills, and someone is playing nasty pranks on me. The anxiety messes with my mind and causes big-time stress, but I keep going. That's what I do.

     

    Jarrod reappears in my life with perfect timing, and he's no longer a scrawny kid. He's muscular and easy on the eye—a generous man who appeals to me on every level. We might not have a future, but he's perfect as Mr. Right Now. If only the rest of my existence ran as smoothly.

     

    Contains a determined ex-military man, a hard-working lady farmer facing skullduggery from a mystery foe, and a little small town instalove, which makes everything better.

      The Invitation

      Aug 21, 2023

      York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and n
