Sweet Tomorrows Series by Aurora Darklight

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... moreLife 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. less

I’ve tried the ‘till death do us part’ thing…. Act like a lady. Be the perfect little housewife and mother. I’ve followed the rules for my entire life. And where did that get me? A loveless marriage. My sons in jail. And my daughter… my beautiful daughter that tried her hardest to become me and paid the price for it now has to have a security team all the time. A security team that’s filled with divinely handsome men... moreI’ve tried the ‘till death do us part’ thing…. Act like a lady. Be the perfect little housewife and mother. I’ve followed the rules for my entire life. And where did that get me? A loveless marriage. My sons in jail. And my daughter… my beautiful daughter that tried her hardest to become me and paid the price for it now has to have a security team all the time. A security team that’s filled with divinely handsome men. What’s so wrong about a grandmother having fun with her daughter’s bodyguard? The only one I’m attracted to is completely out of bounds… at least in public. I can’t be seen dating a man that much younger than me, but in private I don’t mind breaking the rules. Matthew is smart, funny, thoughtful, kind, not to mention he can throw a knife almost as well as I can. Why can’t he break the rules with me? less

Never trust anyone. Once… just once, I ignored my rules. That was all it took for me to foolishly expose my vulnerabilities to Matthew, only to have him reject my offer of the perfect relationship. My idealistic man still believes in love after everything he’s been through… and he wants me to as well. Every day, a little crack breaks through the façade I’ve built around me. If I don’t stop feeling, everything inside me is going to shatter to pieces that I’ll never be able to put back together... moreNever trust anyone. Once… just once, I ignored my rules.
