“Just friends” is just perfect
...until love finds her at Willow’s Haven
Her dreams of love haven’t worked out, but veterinarian Haley Calhoun intends to grant an orphaned boy’s wish. She’ll heal Eli’s injured puppy—while resisting his charming counselor, Gavin Thomason, at the children’s home. Still mourning the loss of his wife and baby, Gavin believes he can’t commit again. But in losing their hearts to Eli, will Haley and Gavin discover they’ve found the family they need?
RENEE ANDREWS spends a lot of time in the gym. No, she isn’t working out. Her husband, a former All-American gymnast, owns a gym and coaches gymnastics. Renee is a kidney donor and actively supports organ donation. When she isn’t writing, she enjoys traveling with her husband and bragging about their sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren.

Delight thyself also in the Lord:
and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
—Psalms 37:4
“I need to get back.”
She knew better. He didn’t need to get back; he needed to get away.
But she wasn’t giving up that easily.
“Today, you were an entirely different person when we drove to the farm, like someone I’d actually like to have as a friend. But then you were downright rude, and for the life of me, I can’t figure out why.”
If possible, his jaw clenched tighter. Then he closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the seat.
Haley had no idea if he was praying...or counting to ten.
Either way, he’d made her angry.
“Gavin, I’m volunteering my time for this program, and it’s going to be a lot of time, from what I can tell. Maybe I should ask if they can get someone else to work with me. If you don’t want to...”
“No, I want to do this. And what happened at the barn had nothing to do with you,” he growled, his tone filled with heated emotion.
How could she work with this bear of a man?
I’ve wanted to write Haley’s story for quite some time, from the moment she was introduced in Bride Wanted and again in Yuletide Twins. She was the classic “always a bridesmaid, never a bride.” I hope you enjoyed seeing her dream finally come true.
My goal for this story was to portray how much we need God in all of life’s circumstances, not only when people exceed our expectations, but also when they let us down. Haley had been hurt in the past. Gavin, too, losing everything he cared about in the span of a few hours. But life often disappoints. God never does.
As always, I welcome prayer requests from my readers. Write to me at Renee Andrews, P.O. Box 8, Gadsden, AL, 35902 or through my email at [email protected] and I will gladly lift your requests to our Heavenly Father in prayer.
