Synopsis:
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.
Excerpt:
Looking over at her again, I noticed she wasn’t showing any interest in this part of the class. It was my job to make sure that every student was properly trained in advanced life support. I owed it to her to engage her in this class activity.
“Ms. Ruiz,” I called, waving for her to come up to the front.
She straightened up, like she was startled. Shit, I hope I didn’t freak her out.
After she sauntered to the front of the class, she got into position. Clearly, she knew what she was doing, but that didn’t stop me from assisting her. I didn’t know what had possessed me. I was drawn to her. I stood behind her as she placed her hands on the dummy. She was the perfect height. I could’ve easily rested my chin on her head. I reached over, almost leaning into her. I laid my hands over hers as we pushed down on the dummy.
Making sure she applied the correct pressure, I said in a hushed voice, “Make sure it’s deep, hard, and steady. Yeah, that’s right. You’re doing it perfectly.”
