Sometimes all you need is a second chance... The sunny weather and sandy beaches of Rescue Bay, Florida, are just what Olivia Linscott needs after leaving a bad relationship and a lousy job. Her late mother, a woman Olivia never knew, has left her an animal shelter that is as much of a shambles as Olivia’s life. She just wants to retreat, rebuild, and rediscover herself. Then a skittish and wounded Golden Retriever leads Olivia to her cranky next-door neighbor’s yard. Luke Winslow, a helicopter pilot with a painful secret, has lost his career and his purpose after a near-fatal crash that left him partially blind. Adrift and bitter, the last thing he wants is to get involved with anyone—or any dog. But neither one of them can resist the dog who needs some human intervention. In the process, Olivia and Luke might just find a way to heal and a reason to hope. Praise for the novels Shirley Jump “Delightful.”— Library Journal “Impossible to put down.”— Romance Junkies
