A Runaway's Second Chance
(2025)(The prequel to the Love on Lavender Lane series)
A novel by Ava Sparrow
I never planned to get stuck working with the town’s grumpiest veterinarian. But when my runaway bride escape lands me on his animal rescue project, we’re suddenly spending every day side by side. And the longer we’re trapped together, the harder it is to pretend I’m not falling for him.
Dr. Logan Pierce is calm, steady, and heartbreak in flannel. He saves animals but avoids people—especially women with hearts as bruised as mine. I tell myself it’s just a temporary job: plan the fundraiser, help the shelter, keep my distance.
But his voice softens when he says my name. His smile—rare and unguarded—feels like sunlight breaking through my storm. And when his golden retriever curls up beside me, I can’t help but wonder if fate’s been leading me back to him all along.
He doesn’t know our paths have crossed before. And when he finally discovers how…
I’m not sure either of us will be ready for what it means.
A Runaway’s Second Chance is a heartfelt, small-town workplace romance filled with grumpy-meets-sunshine chemistry, second chances, and the healing power of love—for people and the animals who bring them together. Perfect for fans of slow-burn romances where broken hearts learn to trust again and home is something you find in each other.
This is Standalone Book 4 in the Love on Lavender Lane series. Each book can be read on its own, but returning readers will love the familiar faces, cozy charm, and small-town connections that weave every story together.
Genre: Romance
