Paws for Healing

She came back to settle an estate. She never expected to rediscover herself.

After surviving cancer, a painful divorce, and the loss of the career she once loved, Chantal Davies returns to Sunshine Bay to prepare her late grandmother's seaside cottage for sale. Once the renovations are finished, she'll return to Vancouver, find a new job, and start over.

At least, that's the plan.

Instead, Chantal discovers an unfinished tapestry waiting on the loom, a shy rescue cat in need of a second chance, and a grieving twelve-year-old neighbour determined to finish the sweater Chantal's grandmother had only just begun teaching her to knit. As Chantal restores the cottage room by room, she becomes part of the small-town community her grandmother loved—from a struggling fibre arts cooperative to friendships that begin to feel like family.

Next door, single father Anderson Cole is raising two children while quietly carrying burdens of his own. The friendship that grows between Chantal and Anderson is easy and comfortable... until neither of them can ignore the possibility that it could become something more.

But starting over isn't as simple as Chantal expected. As old dreams give way to new possibilities, she must decide whether the life she planned is really the one she wants—or whether Sunshine Bay has been waiting for her all along.
