Shelter in Garnet Run — Roan Parrish

A Cozy Christmas in Garnet RunRiver Mills loves working at the Dirt Road Cat Shelter in the cozy town of Garnet Run. They finally have a safe place to live and wonderful friends (feline and human), for the first time. But love? They've never had much luck ... until gorgeous, confident Cassidy Darling bursts through the shelter door one night with an injured cat in his arms.Cassidy loves all animals and when their lives are cut short, he loves honoring them through the art of ethical taxidermy. Craftmas, the local holiday art fair, is his biggest sales event of the year. When the cutie he met at the cat shelter the week before turns out to be running the booth next to his, Cassidy is thrilled. But River isn't-taxidermy? Horrifying!But as they get to know each other, River realizes that Cassidy is vulnerable and kind, and Cassidy learns River has the biggest heart of anyone he's ever met-just in time to share a Christmas full of sexy exploration, emotional connection, and, of course, cats.Shelter in Garnet Run takes place after the events of The Rivals of Casper Road, but can be read as a stand-alone.
