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.

EXCERPT:
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.
