That Party in Panama

She came to paradise to forget him—he came with the dog she could never forget.Elise's plan was simple: a quick escape to the Bahamas, some sunshine, and a fresh start. But the moment she steps out of the cab, her past comes charging back—on four paws.Mango, the golden retriever she lost in the divorce, is waiting for her... and so is Juan.Her ex-husband. The one who broke her heart. The one who still knows how to smile at her in that maddening way. The one who just happened to show up with a business lead and a dog-sized olive branch.With tension simmering under every island sunset and secrets tucked beneath every polite smile, Elise must navigate old wounds, new truths, and the possibility that some things—like love and loyalty—are worth a second look.A swoony, sun-soaked tale of second chances, salty breezes, and the dog who just might save them both.
