Description de l’éditeur
From USA Today bestselling author Hope Ramsay comes a small-town romance filled with love, laughter, and friendship!
Only one thing can make veterinarian Noah Cuthbert return to Magnolia Harbor - his mother's failing health. He'll do anything to help his family, including taking a short-term gig at the local animal clinic. What he doesn't count on is getting up-close-and-personal with the clinic's new manager, a woman whose love and compassion for every stray that crosses her path has him rethinking his plans to head back to his big-city life...
After her time in the Navy, Lia wants nothing more than to settle down. The quaint seaside town is exactly what she'd been hoping for, and not just because her new boss is movie-star handsome. As they grow closer, Lia starts wondering if Noah could be the one. But when a town crisis forces Noah to take a stand that jeopardizes their new-found happiness, can Lia convince him that home doesn't have to be a four-letter word?
Includes the bonus novel Then There Was You by Miranda Liasson!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ramsey serves up an endearing and strong second contemporary set in the coastal Low Country of South Carolina (after The Cottage on Rose Lane), pairing a plucky and intuitive vet (the military kind) and a protective, family-oriented vet (the animal doctor kind). Lia DiPalma, freshly separated from the U.S. Navy, leaves California for Magnolia Harbor, S.C. When she discovers a badly injured dog, she brings him to the animal hospital. Animal surgeon Noah Cuthbert is only in Magnolia Harbor to convince his ailing mother to return to Charleston with him, but stays a little longer to help save the dog. Both Lia and Noah carry heavy loads of undeserved guilt, feeling they've failed beloved pets in the past, but they find healing in each other until Lia is accused of assaulting a popular local, and peacemaker Noah has to decide whether he'll stick up for her or lose her for good. Themes of abuse, trauma, and recovery are woven carefully through the romance as Noah and Lia come to terms with both the past and the present. Ramsey's clever plotting and delightful characters (particularly outspoken boutique owner Kerri and ghost-talking child Jackie) create a thoroughly enjoyable story. This volume includes a bonus novel by Miranda Liasson, not seen by PW.
