Bethany Goodson distrusts men, no matter how handsome or personable. All because of her father’s betrayal and mother’s broken heart. Animals seem far more trustworthy, and her ultimate dream is to own a pet care service—a place where love is given unconditionally without fear of disloyalty.

Extroverted investigator Tyler Knight is attracted to quiet, soft-spoken Bethany. When Cheyenne offers him the perfect opportunity to get to know her friend, he grabs the chance, even though Beth has made it clear he’s not her type.
Bethany assumes Tyler is exactly like her life-of-the-party, deceiving father. Will she hold onto painful childhood memories and miss out on the best thing God has in store for her? Or will she come to her senses, accept shocking truths, forgive, and take a chance on love?

Not only does Melissa suffer guilt about having romantic feelings for someone other than her deceased husband, but she has another dilemma. Unless she can forever quell the unrequited love for a man who is clearly out of bounds, breaking Danny’s heart seems inevitable.
