Blurb
Animals
aren’t the only thing that need rescuing when a sexy veterinarian
encounters a hot-headed attorney…
Perfectly
content saving animals at her clinic in a charming but run-down
neighborhood, veterinarian Ellie Blevins slams into new landlord,
Jackson Kincaid, who plans to turn her beloved block of buildings
into condos.
Intrigued
by Ellie, hot-shot defense attorney Jackson gives her one month to
convince him not to put his gentrification plans into progress.
Attraction soon sizzles between them, but when Jackson makes his
desires known, Ellie’s vulnerable heart doesn’t know what to
think.
She
wants to trust the sinfully handsome Jackson, just as he wants to
gain her trust, but finding their way to love isn’t easy when her
traumatic past and his criminal clients could sabotage their
relationship for good.
Can
the enchanting veterinarian and the brooding attorney fight the
demons from the past…and build a new future?
Excerpt
“It’s
not a bag of bones. It’s a block of old, historic buildings that
need love and care,” she began. But standing there, taking in his
polished rich-man strength, it was futile to convince him of
anything. “You know what? Deal me the death blow now. I’d like to
review the lease I signed before I throw in the towel and start
looking for a new space and a new home, because I can tell there’s
no way you and I will ever be on the same page.”
“New
home?”
“What?”
she said.
“You
said, ‘a new space and a new home’?”
“I
live in the apartment above the French Connection Bakery. Mr. and
Mrs. Heely have owned it for twenty-five years.” There she was,
exhausted-sharing again. And there he stood intense-staring. She
closed her eyes at the craziest, weirdest conversation she’d ever
had, and realized Chewie was asleep on her chest with his tiny head
nuzzled in her neck. Oh, soft love, she thought, if only people were
more like dogs, so trusting, kind, and loving.
“One
month,” he said.
“One
month to be out of—”
“I’ll
give you one month to try to convince me.”
“I…
What?”
“You
spend time with me for the next month. We get to know each other, and
you can state your case.”
“Spend
time with you?” Is he insane?
“You
said you wanted to try to convince me to change my mind.”
“Oh,”
she whispered.
