Life
doesn’t look like it’s supposed to for Dani Ruiz, a hopeless
romantic. After a painful and sudden break-up with Rick Marin—who
she thought was the One—Dani hides away from reality, retreating to
a world of fiction, preferring book boyfriends over the hassles of a
relationship.
After
almost two years of watching Dani in a holding pattern, her friends
stage an intervention and force her back into the real world of
dating.
Unexpectedly, Dani meets Liam Lucas, a down-to-earth firefighter. He might be the person to show her she’s still worth something. Dani’s hesitant to trust her heart with another man, but their instant and electric chemistry is something she can’t deny.
As
Dani starts to believe that she’s found her real-life book
boyfriend, Rick decides that he’ll go to any lengths to get her
back. Seeing Rick as a changed man makes Dani question everything.
Can
Dani trust her patched-up heart with Liam?
Or
has Rick transformed into the man she’s always wanted?
Told
from various points of views, The
Do Over
is a story of second chances and new beginnings.

From the corner of my eye, I could tell the
instructor was tall and lean. He didn’t look too bad
for an old dude. I
was still glued to my Kindle, struggling
to deal with the angst in the book, as
I kept my
composure in class. I
have to
finish this chapter. I
could not believe what the
heroine was
about to do. I
had a strong desire to scream
and throw
my Kindle against the wall. Feeling an
urgent need to pace, I instead bounced
my leg nervously as I chewed
on my thumb. I
knew this wasn’t good. I
was having
a book meltdown, sitting in
a training class, as the
instructor started talking.
The instructor introduced himself. Wait. Did
I hear him
say Lucas? Am I
in the right class? The
instructor was
supposed to be Captain Rafael Santos. Feeling a
surge of panic rise inside of me, my face flushed as I
painfully tore myself away from my novel.
Slowly, I
looked up through my lashes to
see that he was walking in my direction. He stopped right
in front of me. He was wearing black cargo pants that fit rather
nicely on what could only be a tall body. My
eyes kept going up until I
hit his gray standard county-issued polo, which just
so happened to show that he worked out. I
shyly smiled as
heat rose to
my cheeks. I
wanted to die of pure embarrassment.
As a bright blush warmed my face, he
looked straight into my eyes. He
had the
bluest eyes I’d ever seen. With eyes just like Miami’s sky and
his dirty blond hair cropped short, he was breathtaking. My
peripheral vision was correct. He was tall, lean, and
yes, muscular. He was so
not the old dude. I
was a paralyzed mute. It
took all my willpower to
keep my mouth from hanging open.
Bending over,
he leaned in close
to my ear. As
his unshaven face
brushed against my neck, he
whispered, “I’m
a jealous fool, and
I don’t share. Do
you mind putting it away?” His
tone told me he wasn’t asking but telling me what to do. He
paused briefly as
he leaned even closer. “Name?”
My heart skipped a beat. “Daniela
Ruiz,” I
stammered.
As he slowly stood back up, he winked. He moved
to close
the door and then walked
back down to the front of the class.
At that moment, I
realized that I’d been holding my breath with my
legs pressed tightly together. Someone
call a code blue. I wouldn’t mind
at all if
he had to administer
CPR on me. Hmm,
maybe I
was a
little premature on my stance involving men. For
the first time in a very long time, I felt hopeful and a
little turned
on. Okay, I
was a
lot turned
on.
