Mending His Past: Wounded Warrior Rescue - Second Chance Romance in Liberty Cove, #1

A hurting veteran who feels too broken for love, a single mom trying to protect what's most precious to her, and the dog who helps unlock both of their hearts. 


With a broken-down truck and bills to pay, unemployed single mom, Olivia Malone jumps at the chance to work at the rescue. The last person she imagined she'd see there was Trent Roland—the first man to ever break her heart. Despite her resolve to keep her distance, old feelings surface as Olivia and Trent spend their days, working side by side. His strong hands and tender eyes begin to unravel her defenses. They make a great team when it comes to rebuilding the dog rescue, but is she ready to risk trying to build a new family from the wreckage of their broken dreams?


The survival of the storm-damaged Wounded Warrior Rescue depends on Sergeant Trent Roland. But he never expected to see Olivia during his short-term construction trip, and he isn't prepared for the way she still makes his pulse race. Every stolen glance reminds him of a promised future that never was. The warmth of small-town life and the urge to protect a woman he once called his own tempts him to drop his big-city plans and build the life they once dreamed of here, in Liberty Cove. But the scars of war he still carries tell him that he's not the man he once was, and true love might be too far out of reach. 


Spending time with Olivia and her young daughter make Trent realize that he's fallen in love with more than one resident of Liberty Cove as he finds himself longing to step into the role of husband and father. But the unexpected arrival of Olivia's ex-husband could mean that Trent has run out of time to take a second chance at love.
