Getting it Right This Time
(2024)(The second book in the Swipe Right for Second Chance series)
A Novella by Miranda Rose Barker
In Getting It Right This Time, Sally, a recent widow grappling with loneliness, embarks on a journey of healing and discovery. After her husband Daniel’s tragic death, she moves back to her hometown with her newly adopted, disobedient miniature poodle named Ernie. Her life, filled with memories and new challenges, finds an unexpected twist with a muddy incident that leads her to a local dog obedience school—a decision that offers more than just training for Ernie.
As Sally navigates the complexities of training Ernie, her brother Sean nudges her toward the modern dating world. Reluctantly, she joins a dating app, only to find herself reconnected with Frank, her college sweetheart whose life took a tragic turn years ago. Now a widower himself, Frank represents a past of what could have been—and perhaps what still could be.
Set against the backdrop of everyday struggles, from mud-stained paws to heart-stained memories, Sally and Frank’s reunion is a tender exploration of love’s resilience. Their shared love for dogs and the simple life they both yearn for weaves a common thread that draws them closer. However, as they open their hearts to second chances, both must navigate the scars of past losses and the practicalities of merging their lives together, including the antics of their four-legged companions.
Getting It Right This Time is a story of rediscovery, the kindling of old flames, and the joys and trials of giving love another chance. It is perfect for readers who believe in the power of love to heal and transform, and for anyone who understands that sometimes, the heart needs more than one chance to find where it truly belongs.
