That Dog Won't Hunt: A Second Chances Novel (Second Chances Grasshopper Valley) by CJ Stevens

Hurricane Harri “Simpson” has spent over a decade zigzagging through Appalachia, learning every back road, diner menu, and mangled Southernism along the way. With her trusty go-bag packed, she’s perfected the art of disappearing…until Grasshopper Valley gave her roots, a fake name, and one steadfast rule: don’t fall for anyone. Especially not Tucker Avery. Widowed, steady, and secretly in love with her for years, Tucker has been Harri’s best friend through it all—the calm to her chaos, the rock she never noticed…until her past comes knocking. Now Harri must decide: keep running, or finally stop long enough to see what’s been waiting right in front of her all along. Full of humor, heart, and Appalachian charm, That Dog Won’t Hunt is a slow-burn, second-chance romance about finding home—and love—where you least expect it.
