Finding Her Way Home
After fifteen years away, Dr. Caroline Duer is nervous about returning to her hometown. The veterinarian might be able to save stranded sea turtles, but she can’t convince her dad of her good intentions. And when Caroline meets darling Izzie Clark, she encounters similar suspicion from the young girl’s father. Former coast guard commander Weston Clark had his life upended by Izzie’s mother. He won’t go through the same pain again. But Izzie isn’t the only one tumbling head over heels for the enigmatic Caroline. And if she can release the pain of the past, she just might be the missing piece Weston and his daughter have been searching for.
“Caroline could take me shopping.”
He reddened. “Izzie, I’m sure the lady vet is busy. She probably has much more—”
“I’d love to take Izzie shopping.” Caroline gave him a defiant look. “Why don’t you bring her to the animal rescue center later this week—say Thursday—about four o’clock?”
Izzie bounced on the balls of her feet. “Yay!”
“You don’t need to—”
“And you’re welcome.” Caroline slipped behind the wheel.
His lips quirked. “Like you said yesterday, I’m sure I would’ve managed somehow, but...” He rolled his tongue in his cheek.
“Is that your idea of a thank-you?” She laughed. “Not much of a people person, are you?”
Weston leaned his elbows against the car window. “Will you allow me to fix dinner after you and Izzie return from your shopping expedition? I could give you a tour of our home-slash-work-in-progress.”
She smiled at him. “I’d like that. Till then?”
Till then. His mouth went dry. Had he lost what little mind he still possessed? What had he done?

Falling for the Single Dad

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
—Hebrews 10:23
Dedicated to David and Peggy Riley
You advised me long ago to read a psalm a day, and you were right. Thanks for your friendship and support. You two make a great team. Yours is a special gift, a noble legacy—to shine the Light. Your example of godly leadership has been a beacon of light and truth to me throughout the years.
Thanks to Kathy Davis for her quick, on-the-scene guidance regarding the exact layout of the bridge, the tunnels and the pier at the Chesapeake Grill at the exact minute I was trying to write that scene. Any errors are, of course, my own.
The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) is real. Its three-part mission is “to conduct interdisciplinary research in coastal ocean and estuarine science, educate students and citizens, and provide advisory service to policy makers, industry, and the public.” I’ve taken a few liberties with the actual facility layout. And currently, no marine rescue/rehabilitation/conservation center exists on the Virginia portion of the Delmarva Peninsula. But wouldn’t it be fun if such a place did?
