New Leash on Life (The Dogfather Book 2) Read online

  Chloe’s next breath caught as Shane followed Gramma’s order and got down on one knee.

  “Chloe Somerset,” Shane said softly. “You really are perfect. I knew it the first time I saw you, and I know it today, and I’ll know it when I breathe my last breath. I love you with my whole heart and soul. Will you marry me and raise a family of many two- and four-legged babies we can love forever?”

  “Oh, Shane.” Tears welled up and fell as she blinked. “I love you, too.”

  He took the ring off the clasp of the leash and held it up like an offering. “Please say yes.”

  “Yes,” she breathed the word. “Yes, I will marry you. Yes, yes, yes.”

  He slid the ring on her finger and stood, not taking his eyes from hers as he kissed her. She heard the dogs barking and the family clapping and the beautiful, glorious sound of her heart beating with joy.

  “Shane, how many times do I have to tell you I’m not perfect?”

  He laughed and kissed her again. “But you are perfect for me.”

  Leader of the Pack

  Very few things ruffle law enforcement dog training specialist Liam Kilcannon. Stoic and steady, he has the patience and skill to transform a harmless puppy into a protective K-9, and the quiet strength to lead his five younger siblings through the storms of life. He’s a former marine who doesn’t waste words or squander emotions, and he’s also a man who very much wanted to spend his life with one special woman by his side. He found her…and lost her. And won’t ever let himself be hurt by her again.

  Architect and single mom Andi Rivers knows she made a big mistake when she let Liam slip through her fingers two years ago. Like every decision she’s made for the past six years, Andi chose what she thought was best for her young son, and has vowed to stay single and unattached no matter how long and lonely her nights might be. But when Liam’s father learns Andi’s house has been broken into, he suggests she take Jag, a German shepherd watchdog Liam has been training. Andi sees the sense of getting a protection dog, especially when Jag seems to bring her son out of his shell.

  But having Liam’s specially trained dog puts her in close and constant contact with a man who is a sexy reminder that she’s been sleeping by herself for far too long. Jag might be able to protect her home and family, but what will protect their hearts when Andi and Liam risk falling in love one more time?
