Matters of the Heart

Kit Collier is a harried mom, divorced with four children and a thriving vet clinic where her hands often found themselves in strange places.  Unfortunately, those hands never seemed to find themselves wrapped around a man these days.  She couldn't even recall her last date, it was so long ago.  One just simply had to slog along, doing the best they could, right?    But now she had extra time alone on her hands due to the Labor Day holiday weekend and didn't know what to do . . . until a certain guy from England rescued her from Bellini overload and invited her to dinner.  Uh, imagine that . . . maybe he had a sick pet and wanted a free diagnosis?

Harris Brixton had lived in Crescent Bay, Maine for a few years now and had known Kit through her brother, his soccer buddy.  But something clicked when he spotted her in her scrubs and crazy top knot of fire-gold hair sitting on the deck of the local pub, looking lonely and tired.  A bit of a romantic, he felt compelled to rescue this damsel-in-distress from too many Bellinis.  Maybe it was something in the air, but an innocent kiss generates a conflagration for Brixton and the chase is on.

Problem was that Kit and Harris also had to deal with so much more than just themselves -- kids, nosy friends and relatives, animals, a falling-down estate that kept them busy and often at odds.  But ultimately, it's their own hesitations and reluctance that threaten their ability to grasp happiness and love and run with it.  Welcome back to Crescent Bay, where the men are strong and the women smart and sassy, and love lays a whammy wherever and whenever it so desires!
