New Leash on Life — Roxanne St. Claire

Book Two in a Complete Series (all stand-alone titles) for Romance Readers Who Love Dogs!

When former attorney and current dog whisperer Shane Kilcannon messes up his chance with a beautiful stranger, he's ready to snarl like one of his beloved pitbulls. But Shane's work with the wildest and wariest of his family's rescue dogs has taught him patience and persistence. When his father hands him the opportunity to work alongside that very same woman who has come to town with groundbreaking tourism plans, he seizes it. He even offers to help her win over the locals, as long as she is willing to give a temporary home to one misunderstood dog...and spend plenty of time with Shane. 

Chloe Somerset has built a reputation in the tourism industry as someone with big ideas that put little places on the map, and she's certain she can do the same for Bitter Bark, North Carolina. All she has to do is convince one small town to change its name, open her clean-freak heart to a dog with a penchant for face-licking, and avoid the landmines of local politics when her plans divide the townspeople. But none of that is as scary as the feeling of falling hard for a sexy charmer who whispers all the right things and tempts Chloe to forget a lifetime of hard lessons. Shane might know exactly how to get through to the creatures who need care the most, but he's met his match with Chloe, and it'll take every trick he knows to teach her to fall in love. 

The Dogfather Series

Every love story in this completed nine-book series begins and ends with a dog. And a little help from The Dogfather.

**Every cover features a rescue dog and a "local hero" from Alaqua Animal Refuge in Florida and a portion of book sales has been donated to this amazing shelter!**

Daniel Kilcannon is known as "The Dogfather" for a reason. It's not just his renowned skills as a veterinarian, his tremendous love of dogs, or the fact that he has turned his homestead in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains into a world-class dog training and rescue facility. Ask his six grown children who run Waterford Farm for him, and they'll tell you that their father's nickname is due to his uncanny ability to pull a few strings to get what he wants. And what he wants is for his four sons and two daughters to find the kind of life-changing love he had with his dearly departed wife, Annie. This old dog has a few new tricks...and he'll use them all to see his pack all settled into their happily ever afters!
