A missing dog links two people coping with loss. Dan, 40, still grieves for his wife, Christine. She died at 39, almost a year before the story begins. His teenage daughter, Lindsay, shares his grief. Now their dog, Anni, has vanished too. Karen McQuestion’s romance follows their path toward a new life. It suits readers drawn to love stories about grief, chance, and pets.

Andrea Keller, around 30, manages an office at McGuire Properties. Her marriage ended after her husband, Marco, cheated on her. Following her friend Jade’s example, she attends a workshop for women seeking change. Soon after, a complaint sends her to a rental property. There she finds tenants keeping a dog in cruel conditions. She takes the dog away while they are out.

Andrea does not know that her new pet is Dan’s Anni. A stranger at a pet shop suggests a dog-friendly café. There, she gets to know Dan after an earlier chance meeting. Neither sees the link between them at first. Meanwhile, Dan starts to sort through Christine’s things. His aunt Doreen also offers to introduce him to someone.

Marco keeps pressing Andrea to return, but she refuses. His actions draw her closer to her older neighbor, Cliff. Cliff’s new partner is Doreen, adding another link between their lives. Anni helps bring Andrea and Dan together, and plays a part in a marriage proposal.

McQuestion has written for children, teens, and adults. She lives with her family in Hartland, Wisconsin. Catalina Patrascu translated this edition from the English original, Hello Love.
