Now stranded with no car, Miss Gina offers Mel a job running the Inn while she has Wyatt renovate a small cottage in back for her to eventually retire in.

As usual, just when you think you’ve got things figured out, Catherine has added enough unexpected twists and turns to keep you guessing till the end. Like all of her romance stories, Doing it Over, is very well written, with believable characters and a plot you’ll find yourself enveloped in from the very beginning.
