No Longer Yours

She’s the sunny new teacher. He’s the village curmudgeon. Is man’s best friend the key to happily ever after?

Cherry Waites never thought her idyllic marriage of ten years would end with divorce papers. Humiliated to be the last to know about her husband’s year-long affair, she escapes to a remote island in the heart of Lake Superior. But her new beginning hits a rocky start when she trips over a grump’s beloved dog.

Matteo Capen prefers the company of canines to people and avoids anything or anyone who might disrupt his regimented life. And the clumsy new schoolteacher is certainly a disruption.

Though Cherry’s eternal optimism rubs Matteo the wrong way, he gallantly steps in when her online dating attempts end in disaster. As the weather on Whispering Pines turns colder, their precarious friendship shifts into something neither will admit. 

No Longer Yours is a standalone novel in the Whispering Pines Island collection. If you like flawed characters, real-life dilemmas, and a hearty dose of humor, then you’ll adore Sara LaFontain’s emotional rollercoaster.
