Author Description

He didn't see the point of falling in love... Dr. Brady Carson spends all of his time at Wintervale's veterinary clinic. While caring for the pets of his friends and neighbors and training service dogs in his downtime, he's never really had time for romance. It doesn't help that he's been in the small Vermont town all of his life and knows everyone way too well. Despite his sister's insistence, Brady can't bring himself to date any of the girls he grew up with. Besides, he's perfectly happy to hang out with his friends, both human and canine, and focus on his work. She couldn't figure out a way to start over... After being granted an honorable discharge when she lost her leg in an accident she refuses to talk about, Army Ranger Theo Matheson has been trying to pick up the pieces of her life. Returning home to Maine shouldn't have been this hard, but she's been struggling with all of the changes to her life, finding it hard to live with the past, and even harder to see a future for herself that doesn't involve the Army. The one thing she's looking forward to is meeting her new service dog, a pup that has been trained just for her in Wintervale, Vermont. Can two people who turned their backs on love find a way to face it together? In the warmth of a Wintervale summer, anything is possible... *Contains a recipe inspired by the story!* A Star-Spangled Romance is Book 5 in the Wintervale Promises series. It is a standalone novel with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed happily ever after. Join the Wintervale family for an unforgettable 4th of July, where the annual downtown fireworks display won't be the only sparks flying!
