The Widow’s Guide to Second Chances by Valerie Pepper

He’s always wanted her. She doesn’t do long term. Can he convince her to take a second chance on true love?

Devon Rayne has spent five years running from memories of the firefighter husband she lost. But when her grandmother’s will demands she return to take possession of her childhood home, she has no choice but to stay the required six months. She just needs everyone to leave her alone. And the scraggly dog that’s shown up is a definite no.
Paramedic Aaron Joseph wanted Devon the minute he saw her all those years ago. So when she falls at his feet-literally-her first day back, he figures his time has come. Lucky for him, he’s got the whole town on his side, from his meddling fire chief to some cantankerous old ladies. And the dog can definitely stay.
