It’s October! Winter is around the corner.
Book Three in the Eggnog and New Beginnings Series is available on Amazon. One Heartache Too Many features a broken-hearted young widow and her next-door neighbor/nemesis who find themselves sharing the care of a lost puppy while managing to tolerate each other. Until an outside threat raises the stakes and forces them to work together on a totally new level.
Lindsey Michaels has lost almost everyone she loves: her parents, her husband, and now her beloved old cocker spaniel. Her other dog is equally heartbroken as Lindsey. When her annoying, long-time neighbor asks for her help with an abandoned puppy, the young widow agrees for the animal’s sake, not his. Then she discovers a trusted colleague is scheming the unthinkable.
Gavin Allen only has time for his legal cases. When the busy attorney discovers an unwelcome ball of fluff on his back doorstep, he and the pup are turned away from the overcrowded shelter. Faced with post-op puppy care, Gavin might be asking too much of his high-school nemesis when he pleads for her help. Then he learns Lindsey requires his assistance even more than he needs hers.
Will Lindsey hold a grudge against the guy who tormented her for years? Or could a cute puppy and a scam in the making bring together two people destined for a future together all along?
