Ellie

She had four kids, two with her husband and two before. That didn’t matter. It was time to go. He’d drank, whored, and gambled their way to the edge of bankruptcy and there was nothing left here for her or the kids anymore.
Now they were headed back to where she was from. Home. She’d distanced herself from her family because her life was nothing to be proud of. Once she got home just seeing her mother would make everything better. Especially if she could stay away from men.
Pace was Lucille’s new officer. He’d beat out some tough competition, but it was worth it. A few were angry, but that was too bad. The high light of it all was when he met Ellie. She was his and eventually, she would know it.
Two people fated to be together, but will they both accept it?
