The Marine Next Door

My new neighbor watches my house like he’s protecting me…

Until I realize he’s the only man more dangerous than my ex. After escaping a toxic marriage, I’ve spent three years rebuilding my life around one thing:

My son. No distractions. No complications. And definitely no men.

Then Caleb Ward moves in next door. The tall, tattooed former Marine is grumpy, guarded, and impossible to ignore. He fixes my broken fence. Helps my son with his bike.

And somehow always appears when I need him most. The more time I spend with Caleb, the harder it becomes to remember why I swore off relationships in the first place.

But my ex-husband isn’t ready to let me go. As old threats resurface and the fight over my son turns uglier, Caleb becomes the one person I can rely on. The one person I trust.

The one person I’m falling for. Until a single revelation changes everything. Because the man I’ve fallen for didn’t move in next door by accident.

Author’s Note: A steamy standalone romance featuring a protective Marine hero, a resilient single mom, grumpy sunshine vibes, neighbor-next-door chemistry, found family, emotional betrayal, no cliffhanger, and a hard-earned happily ever after.
