Her Guardian Neighbor — Meg Watson

He has always looked out for her... How can she convince him that he is her future?

Kimberly knows that innocent, goody-goody Mandy wants more from the hunky older man next door than just some household chores here and there. But Mandy is so caught up in keeping her toes on the line, how will she ever get the courage to even ask?

Vince has been the silent watchdog at the end of their dead-end street for years, protecting Mandy and her mother and never asking for even a word of thanks. But suddenly he can't help but be aware of the beauty on the other side of the fence. Yet, an afternoon of eavesdropping leads to a shocking revelation - could Mandy possibly respond to him?

On a darkened street on the wrong side of town, it's Vince's urgent call to action that really exposes the kind of man he is, and just how far he is willing to go to save the woman he's thought of as his to protect. And with her guardian angel just inches away, Mandy will have to speak up and ask for the life she really wants!
