Is it too late for a do-over? Emily Phillips is an aspiring artist, but she’s barely had time to put brush to canvas since inheriting the pottery painting shop in scenic Gold Creek. Emily’s long hours and hard work are finally paying off. She’s turned the shop from a sleepy pottery studio into a thriving party destination. When she’s not hosting birthday parties for the kiddie crowd, her shop is filled with the squeals, laughter and love stories that accompany bridal showers. As much as she enjoys making each soon-to-be bride’s party special, the gatherings are a constant reminder that Emily’s own happily ever after is nowhere in sight. When an offer to buy her shop arrives unexpectedly, Emily decides it’s time to give up on dreams of love, and take a chance on the dream she’d all but forgotten. Ben Nichols, an outdoor adventure guide, hasn’t taken his eyes off Emily since the day they met. Unfortunately, a disastrous date two years ago plunged him deep into the friend zone. When he learns about Emily’s plan to sell her shop and study art in Paris, Ben realizes he’s not ready to say goodbye—and that his feelings go much deeper than friendship. With time running out before Emily packs her bags, can Ben win a second-chance date and convince Emily that everything she’s dreamed about is in Gold Creek—with him? Dating Do-Over was previously published under the title Dreaming of Forever. less
