Abandoned puppies found under the porch of their duplex become an issue when Ruby Innes overrides her co-tenant, Thatcher Rollins, in his demand she call in the SPCA. Instead, she becomes a surrogate mother to the tiny balls of fluff... with the cranky good-looker's unexpected assistance. Not surprising, one of the pups bonds with Thatcher and won't be put aside. After all, it's exactly how she's beginning to feel about the guy whose bluff exterior hides a mushy heart. Seriously, how can a woman ignore someone who loves his mother so much, he's willing to fly to Vegas to stop her wedding to a man he believes will make her unhappy? Until Ruby finds out the groom is her father. Then she has no option but to follow and put a stop to Thatcher's meddling. But...will she be in time?
NYT & USA Today, best-selling, award-winning author, Mimi Barbour, lives on the beautiful east coast of Vancouver Island and writes her romances with tongue-in-cheek and a mad glint in her eye. Asked why she prefers paranormal or suspenseful romance, she answers, chuckling... "Because it's fun! Imagination can be a lot more interesting than what happens in real life to so-called normal people. I love my characters, and my goal is to make the readers love them also. To care about what happens to them while the tale unfolds. If I can steal my booklover's attention away from their everyday grind, absorb them in a fantasy world, and make them care about the ending, then I've done my job. "Thinking back, writing my first romantic suspense novel switched the hard work into fun, and I've not looked back. I love writing about men and women finding each other and falling in love. Along the way, it pleases me to fill their travels with gritty conflicts -- spiced up with lots of humor and seasoned with a few tears, but always with endings that are happy."
