Tail for Two

The doggone fun continues in the second contemporary romance in Wells’s Fur Haven Dog Park series (after Cold Nose, Warm Heart). Construction firm owner Lance Donovan gets roped into dog-sitting his brother’s fiancée’s dog—and runs into his ex-wife, his ex-dog Beckham, and Oliver, the nearly three-year-old son he never knew he had, in a Miami dog park. Interior designer Carrie Burns knows she should have told her ex-husband about their child, but when she showed up at his apartment to let him know about her pregnancy soon after their split, she was given the brush-off by his then brand new girlfriend, scaring her off from future attempts. Lance is immediately captivated by his son and easily falls back in love with his ex, embarking on a campaign to win her back. A cast of stellar supporting characters—both canine and human—add considerable charm, and Wells successfully mines Oliver’s terrible twos for some belly laughs. This second chance romance is sure to enchant. Agent: Nicole Resciniti, the Seymour Agency. (Aug.)
