Sealed With a Kiss
Dennis, Stacey
For twenty-eight years, Patricia Melbourne had been a perfect wife, helpmate and mother. Now, recently widowed from her wealthy, philandering husband, Pat was free to do exactly as she pleased. First, she'd sell the big house, give away the designer clothes, fire the housekeeper. Then she'd buy a little cottage with a fenced-in-yard, get a dog, and grow old gracefully, eating chocolate bars and watching the soaps. She could hardly wait...

But Pat was in for a big surprise in the form of Hank Richards - next-door neighbor; amateur dog breeder... and hunk. It all began with Hank showing her how to train her new puppy. Then they shared a joke... a home cooked meal... finally, an utterly satisfying first kiss. Maybe, Pat thought, she'd cut back on the chocolate bars, for there was something even sweeter in her brand new life: there was Hank... and a chance to love again.
