About Harmony Hills
Harlan Hart was just a kid when he shot Willow's abusive father outside a West Texas VFW. Now, twenty-five years later, Harlan's married to the girl he served time for and they've built their dream house in Harmony Hills, where the city's miles away and the lots are big enough he can't see his neighbors. But the neighbors can see him'and they're watching'because Harlan's different and the homeowner's association doesn't want different. What they want is conformity, but Harlan Hart's done being told how to live his life.As fines, liens and lawsuits take a toll on Harlan's family, simmering anger erupts into all out war when he builds a backyard castle as an act of defiance. The association retaliates by foreclosing, so Harlan declares his property an independent republic and prepares for a final stand against his oppressors. When eviction day arrives, law enforcement shows up with a heavy handed plan to take down the eccentric crackpot in the castle on the hill, and the cops are expecting to be home by dinner, but Harlan's got a plan of his own and it's something no one expected.In a battle where no one blinks, everyone involved just might learn that winning big can mean losing everything.
