Mending His Dream

A veteran who will do anything for those he loves, the ex he never got over, and the rescue dog who needs them both. Family duty called Sergeant Levi Renner back to the small town where he grew up. With ailing parents depending on him, he’ll take any job that will let him stay close to home—even if it means giving up his dream and working with Brooke Larsen, the veterinarian who just moved back to town… his high school sweet heart… the ex he can’t seem to get out of his mind. Brooke never imagined she’d end up living at home again, but that’s exactly where she found herself after someone she trusted destroyed her business. Now she’s starting over and rebuilding her career somewhere safe—her hometown. Accepting a temporary job as the resident veterinarian at the Wounded Warrior Rescue seems like a great first step until she runs into Levi, the ex she never really got over. When the lovable town matchmaker pushes them together, the same problems that drove them apart the first time rise to the surface. Despite the feelings they still share, any chance of rekindling their relationship seems out of reach. But when their insistent matchmaker won't take no for an answer, it's like rubbing salt in their wounded hearts. The only way to protect themselves is to fake a relationship until she loses interest and moves on to another couple. But fake dating an ex you’re still in love with, isn’t as easy as it sounds.
