Synopsis

"This heartstring-tugger is certain to win fans." ―Publishers Weekly STARRED Review for A New Leash on Love

Animal portrait painter Mia Chambers and architect Ben Thomas have volunteered at the High Grove Animal Shelter for years, and they share a complicated history. Ben has secretly loved Mia all this time, but she was married to his best friend. Now she's newly widowed, with a young son, and Ben doesn't know how to tell her what's in his heart. All he can do is stay close, help her as much as she'll let him, and watch for the right moment to bare his soul.

When a dozen adorable border collies get dumped in St. Louis' biggest park, everyone at the shelter mobilizes for a large-scale rescue. Rushing to the park to round up the frisky collies, Ben and Mia unexpectedly plunge into a new phase of their entangled lives. Who knew that opening their hearts and homes―to animals in need and to each other―would lead to so many upheavals...and new beginnings...?

Review:

"There are cameo appearances by characters from Burns' earlier books, so this will appeal to readers already familiar with the series, as well as those who like animal-related romances. A good story on the sweet side. " - Booklist

"Burns charms with the complex fourth Rescue Me contemporary, which is much more than a cute critter story...Mia's colorful, philosophical mother and endearing son add depth and richness to the well-paced narrative, as do a whole pack of lovable animals. This creative story will draw new fans to Burns's satisfying series." - Publishers Weekly

"A fun, heartwarming story of love, family and trust...the dogs from the shelter add great enjoyment to the book." - Harlequin Junkie, HJ Recommends
