Someone keeps leaving injured animals on Megan Winters’ doorstep.

As Willowdale’s wildlife rehabilitator, Megan is used to midnight rescues and dawn feedings. What she’s not used to is mystery—or the frustrating realization that someone in town knows her sanctuary better than she does.

Alex Thorne came to Willowdale to disappear. After a catastrophic design failure made him a headline for all the wrong reasons, he traded award-winning landscapes for anonymity and silence. Rescuing injured creatures and leaving them where they’ll be cared for gives him purpose without the risk of being seen.

But when a determined woman with muddy boots and zero patience for secrets catches him in the act, Alex’s carefully constructed invisibility starts to crumble.

Megan prefers animals to people—they’re simpler, less disappointing, and they never ask questions she doesn’t want to answer. Alex prefers solitude to scrutiny. Neither of them is looking for connection.

Spring in Willowdale has other plans.

As the world outside blooms back to life, Megan and Alex discover that some wounds can’t heal in isolation—and that restoration isn’t just for broken wings.

Wild Restoration is a sweet small-town romance featuring a grumpy wildlife rehabilitator, a reclusive hero with a secret soft side, meddling townspeople, and proof that the wildest hearts are sometimes the hardest to tame. This is Book 3 in the Willowdale series and can be read as a standalone.
