Neighborly Intentions 2

First Sergeant Roland Flynn followed in his unit leader's footsteps and gave up active duty to become a combat arms instructor at a nearby base. The training position was right on time. He had a nine to five to carry him into retirement, a quiet place to live, and could shrug out of his role in war like it was a coat. First, he had to make the move from Savannah, GA to Dalton, GA where Anna Harp and their mutual friends lived. Anna was set in her ways at twenty-nine, wouldn't tie herself to a good man to save her life... or his. She figured he deserved better than her who was schooled in the hard knock life and survival of the fittest. As far as she was concerned, she was too rough around the edges to make for a good woman or mother, too independent, and wasn't about to give anyone ammunition to hurt her more than her drug-addicted already mother had. But, what happens when a hardened soldier of real war comes along and he can relate to a hardened soldier of real life and make her heart wonder what if she'd given up on having a family and a love of her own too soon? ***A dark read. ***Not for readers looking for a light romance with perfect characters.
