Love, Pugs, and Other Problems: A Love & Pets Prequel Story (Book 0.5)
She wanted a ring. She got a pug, instead.
Amelia doesn’t care much for her job as a legal secretary, but she’s head over heels for her boyfriend Tim and his pet pug, Doug. When Tim says he has something important to ask her, she knows the rainbow painted day she’s been dreaming of is here. Her naked ring finger is finally getting some bling.
That night, she makes Tim’s favorite meal, lights candles, and plays sure-fire mood music, but when he finally pops the question, Amelia discovers the rainbow road to her dreams may be bumpier than she expected . . . and covered in pug fur.
The Problem with Pugs (Book 1)
New love? Or her pug?
Amelia’s boyfriend Tim broke up with her three months, thirteen days, and eleven hours ago, but at least he left her their baby, Doug the pug. Doug eats her underwear, mutilates furniture, and always poops in the middle of the sidewalk—but he only has eyes for her.
When Amelia reluctantly wades back into the dating pool, meets a new guy, and has to pay his medical bill after Doug launches a sneak attack on him, she realizes she has a problem. She’s determined to do everything she can to help her dog adjust to life without Tim, even recruiting handsome Travis, Doug’s new veterinarian, who’s willing to assist her at risk of life and limb.
But it won’t be so easy. Doug’s the only man in Amelia’s life now . . . and he isn’t about to share.

The Trouble with Tabbies (Book 2)
The cats are here to stay. But is he?
Beatrix Fuller’s income as a romance writer keeps her dozens of rescue cats in food and kitty litter, but she dreams of using a promised family inheritance to help build a state of the art cat adoption facility. To get the money, she has to present her fiancé to her father for approval at the family estate in Aspen, Colorado.
The kink in this cat tale? The fiancé Bea’s told her family about for years is as fictional as the oh-so-perfect leading men in her books. She needs a fake fiancé fast, and she has two requirements: 1) must love cats and 2) no getting involved. Bea’s written romance long enough to know that false engagements lead to real relationships and she’s not interested.
Although photographer Sebastian Ross spends every morning shooting in the gorgeous Colorado mountains, buyers aren’t exactly lined up to purchase his work. After Seb responds to Bea’s posting for a fake fiancé, they make a deal: pretend to be madly in love for the sake of her cats and his ridiculously high rent. But if they so much as kiss, Bea will give up her favorite fur baby and Seb will sell his beloved Canon.
A foolproof plan . . . until something grows between these fools that looks a lot like love.

The Downside of Dachshunds (Book 3)
She hates him and he hates her dachshunds. It’s a doggone showdown.
After years of soul-sucking tech sales work, Isabel Costa and her best friend Adelaide Miller are chasing their dream of operating a successful dude ranch in the Colorado mountains.

Tobias Coleman is an experienced wrangler and single dad who needs quality health care for his son. He takes the job at Lazy Dog despite disapproving of almost everything about the place, like the amateur owners and their three dippy dachshunds, the disco-obsessed head housekeeper, and the accident-prone kitchen staff. Not to mention the high and mighty guests.
Isa equally dislikes cold and serious Tobias, but when an A-list actress visits the ranch, Isa and Tobias have to work together to make her stay a smashing success. When doxies and disco, Hollywood and horses collide, is there any room for love?

Can he help mend her dogeared heart?
Librarian Sarah Newsome can locate a reference book in less than three minutes, but three years may not be long enough to heal after the death of her Labrador retriever Sam. When Sarah joins a pet grief support group, she expects to find folks mourning their animals, like Sister Mary Margaret the Saint Bernard and Severus the snake, but she’s shocked that her old college crush Ben is a member.
Ben Becker’s as surprised to be in a pet grief support group as he is to see Sarah there. She was the one who got away back in college, all because she was convinced he lied. And now? He really is telling a whopper, and it’s way too late to admit it.
As the weeks pass, Sarah increasingly relies on the comfort of the group and a renewed relationship with Ben, but there’s no official handbook for healing. Will Severus’ owner stop stockpiling frozen rodents for his slain serpent? Will Sister’s owner abstain from crossing herself every time she mentions her dearly departed dog? And will Sarah risk her battered heart to give Ben another chance once she learns the hairy truth?

The Predicament of Persians (Book 5)
A bitter feud. A burning love. And cats.
Kathleen Caplin hopes the annual CatFest convention in Denver will be her big break. Her Persian cat, Juliet “Cat”ulet, is an invited guest thanks to the million-plus rabid social media followers who adore Juliet’s satin medieval dresses, the balcony settings Kathleen creates, and her Shakespearean-themed posts. If those same fans vote for Juliet as the Best Newcomer at CatFest, then Purina wants to talk sponsorship, and Kathleen can finally focus on building a business around Juliet’s success.
But there’s stiff competition: another Persian cat called Romeo “Meow”tague. Romeo’s anonymous owner copy-catted Kathleen’s Shakespearean theme to build a massive following for himself. Although the loathsome man is clearly gunning for the sponsorship, Kathleen aims to win.
For Joe Davis, CatFest is a means to an end. He wants out of office cube-land, and he can do it if his cat, Romeo, wins Best Newcomer and the Purina sponsorship. But then he meets her at the convention—Kathleen—the woman who teaches the torches to burn bright. After falling in love over the course of one magical night out on the town, Joe knows he’s finally found the woman of his dreams . . . Until he realizes the woman of his dreams is also the despicable owner of Juliet of the house of Catulet.
Can Joe convince Kathleen that his only love sprung from his only hate? Or will there instead be a plague o’ both their houses?

They tiptoe on the border of love and friendship. Which way will they fall?
Stevie Watson has always known she’d marry Logan Stephens. After all, they’d agreed on it and sealed the deal with a kiss. Sure, they’d had chocolate ice cream smeared on their faces and had recently kicked a shared case of lice, but even at six years old, she’d known he was the boy for her. Only now that Stevie’s pushing thirty, she’s not so sure she wants to ruin what she considers a flawless friendship. Plus, Logan seems content to share a perfectly platonic home with her and her energetic border collie, Bean.
When Stevie joins a local frisbee dog club to help Bean burn extra energy and to check off item number seven on her long-neglected thirtieth birthday bucket list, learn to do something new, she sets her sights on the pretty club captain for Logan. Fixing him up with a wonderful woman will also fulfill list item number one, change someone’s life for the better. Stevie does what she can to push the pair together, but as her birthday looms she finally stops to think about what life will be like without Logan always by her side.
Has she done right by her old friend? Or has she made a massive mistake—one that will leave a frisbee-sized hole in her heart?

He can’t wait to take her hand and say I do. If only their patients will let him.
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring . . . except for one sneaky snake, two poorly pugs, three dastardly dachshunds, four curmudgeonly cats, and a pup peeing on a Christmas tree. Yep, it’s a Love & Pets Christmas.
Veterinarian Travis never meant for years to pass between proposing to his girlfriend and business partner Amelia and the actual wedding. Building their successful Love & Pets mobile practice and taking care of their furry, feathered, and scaly patients always seemed to get in the way. Now that their guests—including many clients—are gathered at the Lazy Dog Ranch for a pet-friendly ceremony in the snowy Colorado mountains, Travis is more than ready to make Amelia his wife. But weddings aren’t always the joyful, peaceful events they’re cracked up to be, especially when animals (and family) are involved.
When the perfect Yuletide wedding weekend devolves into pet pandemonium, Travis is forced to wonder: will he and Amelia ever get married? Or are they doomed to a permanent engagement?
