Love Under Construction . . . Retired Army sniper Hank Freeman has relearned how to be alone. In a world gone colorless with grief, the widower views life in varying shades of gray. Until bumping into Annie, a mysterious woman fighting a lonely battle. When their paths cross, he sees only light. And a rainbow of opportunity. Annie McKenna can't afford distractions. On the run from her abusive ex- husband, she has two kids to hide and protect. No job. No money. No hope. Until she meets Hank at the shelter she's escaped to. For the first time in years, she's awakened to a sharp sense of longing. For a normal life. With a man she can trust. But Hank seems too good to be true. Falling for Annie and her boys was the easy part. But convincing her to build a new dream with him might take longer than the addition Hank's building for the shelter. And protecting them from her ex is a full-time job. Believing his beautiful blueprint will take all the faith Annie can summon. She can't afford any mistakes. Because where she's escaped from . . . mistakes can kill.
