Paws for Love

Wells returns to South Florida in the charming third Fur Haven Dog Park romance (after A Tail for Two). Danielle Morrow once dreamed of being a veterinarian, but has settled for assisting her father in his veterinary practice while running Homestretch, a greyhound rescue group. Her world is shaken when her high school sweetheart, Knox Donovan, returns to Miami Beach after suffering an career-ending injury in the Marine Corps. Fifteen years ago, teenagers Knox and Danielle were expecting a baby but split after Danielle had a miscarriage. Now Knox is floundering trying to figure out his next career move. But when Danielle reenters his life, they find a way forward together—until painful secrets from the past are revealed. Wells capably mixes heart and humor as she paves a road to happily-ever-after for her endearing heroine and hero, underpinning their love story with an engaging cast, including the couples who starred in the previous installments and a litter of adorable, scene-stealing puppies. This is sure to please. Agent: Nicole Resciniti, the Seymour Agency. (Feb.)
