I moved to a small Southern town for peace, quiet, and a break from my hectic, dangerous military life.

But instead of peace, I got her.

Verna Love.

The curvy, foul-mouthed waitress who lives to get under my skin…and just so happens to be my new next-door neighbor.

Avoiding her is the safest bet, but fate has other plans. And when circumstances tie us together, we both might find something we never expected.
