      Eight dogs, eight cats...and one ornery cowboy!

      Megan Jennings just found the ideal temporary home for sixteen suddenly displaced pets. Too bad the farm’s owner isn’t giving the two-legged, former New York attorney the same warm welcome. A city girl broke Cade Battle’s heart and no way the gun-shy cowboy’s trusting in the feelings Megan awakens. But after being orphaned as a teenager, Megan knows she’s finally found her forever family. Can she make Cade believe it, too?

      KATHY DOUGLASS came by her love of reading naturally—both of her parents were readers. She would finish one book and pick up another. Then she attended law school and traded romances for legal opinions.

      After the birth of her two children, her love of reading turned into a love of writing. Kathy now spends her days writing the small-town contemporary novels she enjoys reading.

      “My hero.”

      She put her hands around his waist and hugged him tight, then reached up and kissed his cheek. She’d intended to keep things light, but when her lips touched his warm skin, electricity shot through her body, stunning her with its intensity. It was like grabbing a live wire. She sucked in a breath and got a whiff of his heady scent mingled with a hint of aftershave. He smelled so good. Their eyes met and held and sexual attraction arced between them.

      He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her more closely to him. She leaned her head against his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart beneath his cotton shirt. It felt so good to be in his embrace. She couldn’t imagine anything would ever feel better. They stood that way for a long moment before Cade eased back and set her away from him. Megan wasn’t sure what had gone wrong. Could she have imagined the heat in his eyes or the way his breath had hitched when she’d kissed him?

      FUREVER YOURS:

      Finding forever homes—and hearts!—

      has never been so easy

      Dear Reader,

      The past can be a powerful force. If we aren’t careful, things best left behind us will keep us from enjoying the present or from seeing the possibilities the future holds. Cade Battle, the hero in The City Girl’s Homecoming, is a prisoner of his past. He’s letting the hurt of a broken relationship blind him, leaving him unable to see what is right in front of his face—Megan Jennings, a woman with a heart of gold. Instead of opening his heart to the happiness that a relationship with Megan can bring, he holds on to the past with both hands.

      Megan has loved and lost, leaving her a bit wary of giving her heart again. She’s moved to Spring Forest in an attempt to make a break from the past. When she’s asked to find homes for an elderly neighbor’s sixteen cats and dogs, Megan can’t say no. Cade’s father volunteers to foster the animals on his family’s farm until they can find their forever homes, so Megan and Cade are thrown together. Caring for the animals, they grow close. If they’re willing to leave the past behind them and take a chance, they just might find the love they’ve longed for.
