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 his small home town. With ailing parents depending on him, he'll take any job that keeps him close to home—even if it means giving up his dream and working with Brooke Larsen, the veterinarian who just moved back to town... the ex he can't seem to get out of his mind.

Brooke never imagined she'd end up back in Liberty Cove, but that's exactly where she found herself after falling on hard times. Accepting a temporary job as the resident veterinarian at the Wounded Warrior Rescue seems like a great first step toward rebuilding her career until she runs into Levi, the ex she never really got over.

When the lovable town matchmaker pushes them together, the same old issues that drove them apart years ago rise to the surface. Despite the feelings they still have for each other, any chance of rekindling their relationship seems out of reach. When their insistent matchmaker won't quit scheming, the only way to protect their hearts is to fake a relationship and convince her that her services are no longer needed.

But fake dating an ex you're still in love with, isn't as easy as it sounds.
