Paws in the City

"London's characters leap off the page... It's a delightful start to a series that promises to be good fun."-Publishers Weekly "This is the romcom Carrie Bradshaw would have written if she were a dog person, and I'm obsessed!"-Teri Wilson, USA Today bestselling author of A Spot of Trouble How do you start over when the biggest mistake of your life has more than one million views? Forget diamonds-the internet is forever. Social media consultant Isla Thompson learned that lesson the hard way when she went viral for all the wrong reasons. A month later, Isla is still having nightmares about the moment she ruined a young starlet's career and made herself the most unemployable influencer in Manhattan. But she doesn't have the luxury of hiding until she's no longer Instagram poison. Not when her fourteen-year-old sister, Dani, needs Isla to keep a roof over their heads. So, she takes the first job she can get: caring for Camilla, a glossy-maned, foul-tempered hellhound. After a week of ferrying Camilla from playdates to pet psychics, Isla starts to suspect that the dachshund's bark is worse than her bite-just like her owner, Theo Garrison. Isla has spent her career working to make people likable and here's Theo-happy to hide behind his reputation as a brutish recluse. But Theo isn't a brute-he's sweet and funny, and Isla should not see him as anything but the man who signs her paychecks. Because loving Theo would mean retreating to his world of secluded luxury, and Isla needs to show Dani that no matter the risk, dreams are always worth chasing.

"One of the year's most delightful rom-coms."-New York Times bestselling author Julia London on The Dachshund Wears Prada The perfect romcom for dog lovers! Pets of Park Avenue is the story of a self-confessed hot mess who learns that life is more fun when things don't go according to plan. What do you do when The One is also the one who broke your heart? Self-proclaimed hot mess Scout Myers is determined to prove she's finally got her act together. Raised by grandparents who saw her as her wayward mother's wayward daughter, Scout's used to being written off. So when the opportunity for a promotion arises at Paws in the City, the talent agency where she works, Scout is desperate to rise to the occasion. With shared custody of her little sister also on the line, Scout can't afford a single mistake…like suddenly needing a canine stand-in for an important photoshoot. Luckily (or not) she knows the owner of the perfect pup replacement: the estranged husband she walked out on years ago. On the surface, it appears Lane Halliday's life has been blissfully drama free without Scout, but she suspects her handsome-as-ever not-quite-ex-husband doth protest too much. Working together even feels like old times-except for all that lingering, unresolved tension. But Scout's not sure she's ready to confront the reasons she left Lane, and when their plans to finalize the divorce become very real, Scout starts to wonder whether second chances might be worth a little hot mess. Paws in the City Book 1 - The Dachshund Wears Prada

Can you ever really forget the one who got away? August Merriweather has always been good with animals. In fact, she's known as Manhattan's Dog Whisperer. Men, on the other hand? Not so much. She's been falling for the wrong guys ever since her regrettable crush on Keaton Sax, older brother of her best friend, Leah, and the biggest jerkface this side of the Hudson. Now an emotionally closed off widower, Keaton has become one of the most formidable men on Wall Street, but August knows his secret. He's not driven by sales targets and bonus checks-Keaton just wants to give his family the security they never had. So, when Leah asks Keaton to wrangle her over-the-top, dramatic husky at a weekend talent competition, Keaton says yes...and begs August to help him win the event for Leah. Between obstacle courses, Molly's husky temper tantrums and a cabin with just one bed, August is having a blast. Away from the pressure to have a "perfect life" with the "right guy," she finds herself relaxing and getting to see the softer side of the man she once loved. Is this just a temporary truce? Or could Keaton finally be the right guy at the right time?
