Happy endings for sale . . .


After spending six weeks deep in the South African bush working at the Freedom to Live Wildlife Sanctuary, Lynette not only learned how to care for exotic animals—a dream experience for her zoology degree—but she also fell in love. But when responsibilities back home forced her to leave, she had no choice but to walk away from the sanctuary and the man who had captured her heart. Heartbroken, she boarded a plane and never looked back.

Kate knows two things about her mother: that thirty years ago, she studied abroad in South Africa, and that ever since, she’s never been the same. But why remains a mystery. When Kate’s cancer returns—this time with a vengeance—she stumbles upon a collection of hidden love letters from a man her mother once loved. With time running out, Kate makes a daring decision: under false pretenses, she convinces her mother to return to South Africa, hoping to reunite her with the love she lost.

With a ticking clock and a secret mission, Kate is determined to give her mother a second chance at the happiness she let slip away—even if it means breaking her heart in the process.
