It's never too late to open your heart to new beginnings!

At sixty-seven, Lynda has spent a decade rebuilding her life after her ex-husband's betrayal ended their marriage. Returning to Sapphire Bay for a reunion with her childhood friends wasn’t supposed to be a permanent move. But she’s now dividing her time between Isabel's bookstore and volunteering at the local animal shelter.

After losing his wife fifteen years ago, Matt Reynolds, the local veterinarian, spends all his time helping animals in the small Montana town. He’d created a life that felt complete—until a strong-willed Denver vet with silver hair and a guarded heart walked through the shelter’s doors.

When a sudden storm leaves a litter of wolfdog puppies orphaned, Lynda and Matt rush to save the vulnerable animals. Through long nights of shared concern over their tiny patients, the walls they’ve built over decades of heartache begin to crumble.

As their friendship blossoms into something deeper, Lynda wonders if she can ever trust a man again, while Matt questions whether opening his heart means dishonoring the love he once shared with his wife.

Against the breathtaking backdrop of Montana's Flathead Lake, and surrounded by four-legged companions, Lynda and Matt discover that it’s never too late to open your heart to new beginnings.
