Book Description

Jake Walker, an ex-Marine, tries to fit in with the civilian world after returning stateside. He decides to move into a older home in a rural area close to the Canadian border. His plan is to relax, avoid crowds, and take some time to record a few experiences from his tour of duty in Afghanistan. During high school, he learned the art of self-defense from his father's tutelage and thus, he could handle any trouble he faced. Now he needed to either use this same abilities to start his own self-defense business or else finish his education in the criminal justice program. A few months after being in his renovated cabin on ten acres, Jake's plans get interrupted by two neighbor kids who decide to trespass on his property. Max Johnson and Crash' Braden stumble onto the middle of a group of men who have bad intentions. Things get wild when Jake uncovers a plot by these militants just three miles past his country place. Jake now has to manage two exuberant boys while trying to stop a small scale border invasion before it turns deadly. Along the way, Jake becomes aware of a growing interest in young Max's mother, Lisa Johnson. The more he lends a helping hand to this beautiful neighbor lady and her inquisitive son, the more he realizes she might be the person in his recent dream. Who knows, maybe this new friendship just might give him a reason to stay longer in the area. However, when she begins dating another guy, all bets are off and Jake has to step back and reconsider his plans once again.
