Life ends when you become a grandmother! What? Why do women listen to that nonsense? I certainly don’t want to spend the rest of my life waiting to die. Don’t get me wrong, I want to enjoy every moment that I can with my grandkids and my family. But I also want to try things I’ve never gotten to experience before. Being part of an over-the-top protective family has been a bit… restricting. Now’s my chance to try everything I can imagine. But I’m not ready to fall in love again. It doesn’t matter that my husband died decades ago. He was my ‘one’. The only man I could ever love, and I failed him. Ethan, a semi-retired mercenary, keeps showing up wherever I am. He acts like I need a bodyguard—which I don’t. And I certainly don’t need to be distracted by his dreamy smile and kind heart.
