Desperately wanted found-family sometimes comes with wagging tails and a whole lot of fur.
Blurb
Arthur
When I was squeezing seven rescue dogs and a horde of cats in my small
house, all I wanted was to not turn away a pet in need. Opening the Safe Haven
Pet Rescue was a dream come true. But when I get hurt, standing between a man
with a gun and a stray dog, I realize I still can't do it all.
My injured leg, a concussion, having to lean on my friends,
and realizing how helpless I feel, throws me back to my childhood when nothing
I did ever seemed to be enough. But there's one silver lining. Brooklyn West.
He's the kind of guy who holds a stranger’s hand in a crisis. He's great with
my dogs, even cranky little Chili, and really seems to want to help the
shelter. I like watching him be a protective big brother when his sister turns
up on his doorstep, even though I think there's pain underneath his sunny
smiles. But as we move toward friendship, I keep looking for the strings, for
the catch, and wondering how I'll pay him back, because nothing in my life can
be that sweet, or that simple.
Brooklyn
I went through a
slice of medical hell, and came out the other side with enough money to move to
the opposite side of the country and start the doggie daycare business of my
dreams. The cherry on top of that good luck is meeting Arthur Bjornsson. Big,
wild-bearded, soft-voiced Arthur is the kind of guy my family would've
ridiculed. He's warm-hearted and willing to throw himself into harm's way right
in front of my eyes to save one pathetic stray dog.
He's
the kind of guy who gives me back some faith in humanity. But when my underage
sister Cheyenne shows up on my doorstep, on the run from the family I thought
I'd escaped, my old life and new collide. I want to help Arthur, get to know
him, and, as he heals, I want more than just friendship. But Cheyenne brings
legal risks, a teen on the other side of my bedroom wall, and the threat of
retribution from our family. The simple relationship I thought Arthur and I
were building is suddenly messy as hell. I don't know how we'll get through
this to reach the furever home I so desperately want.
A Furever
Home is a fur-baby-filled,
hurt-comfort, small town romance between two men whose only chance at a family
is to build one themselves.
Excerpt
I sat behind the counter at Safe Haven animal rescue, listening to my shelter manager calling me from across the ocean. “Did you see the video?” The happiness in Shane’s voice made me smile. “Was that cool or what?”
“Hang on.” I swiped my phone over to where I had a waiting text from Shane’s boyfriend, Theo. Sure enough, there was a video attached. When I hit play, I saw Shane with his little white cat Mimsy doing their routine of Mimsy-tricks with the iconic architecture of Paris behind them. In this short clip, Mimsy jumped from the ground up to Shane’s shoulder, then balanced on his head and raised one paw in a salute.
I said, “Did you just busk in front of Notre Dame?”
Shane had lived off his wits and Mimsy’s skills for a long time, but Theo was rich enough he no longer needed to.
“Not busking,” Shane told me. “I didn’t put the hat out. Wouldn’t risk breaking the law here. But Mimsy was riding on my shoulder and these two kids asked if she was a real cat, speaking English with the cutest French accents, and I couldn’t resist letting her show off a bit.”
Of course he couldn’t. Shane would deny it till he
was blue in the face, but he was a sucker for kids, and for that little cat.
Letting her shine while making kids laugh was his favorite thing. Aside from
being with Theo, of course.
The newfound brightness of Shane’s voice
warmed me, even as I pushed aside an unworthy pang of jealousy. Shane had lived
a much harder life than I had—forced to leave his family as a teenager, going
homeless, sometimes going hungry, so independent it’d taken Theo months to
persuade him love didn’t have to come with strings.
My own family might’ve lost interest in me long ago, but I’d never gone without a meal. Now Shane and Theo had a relationship so solid even Shane was willing to trust it. I should be happy for my friend and stop thinking about how I was ten years older and far more alone. “Sounds like fun.”
About the Authors
Kaje: I get asked about my name a lot. It's not something exotic, though. “Kaje” is pronounced just like “cage” – it’s an old nickname, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I’ve been writing far longer than I care to admit (*whispers – forty years*), although mostly for my own entertainment. I write M/M romance, often with added mystery, fantasy, historical, SciFi, paranormal… I also have Young Adult short stories (some released under the pen name Kira Harp.)
It was my husband who finally convinced me that after all the years of writing just for fun, I really should submit something, somewhere. My first professionally published book, Life Lessons, came out in May 2011. I now have a good-sized backlist in ebooks and print, both free and professionally published, including Amazon bestseller The Rebuilding Year and Rainbow Award Best Mystery-Thriller Tracefinder: Contact.
Gabbi: USA Today Bestselling author Gabbi Grey lives in beautiful British Columbia where her fur baby chin-poo keeps her safe from the nasty neighborhood squirrels. Working for the government by day, she spends her early mornings writing contemporary, gay, sweet, and dark erotic BDSM romances. While she firmly believes in happy endings, she also believes in making her characters suffer before finding their true love. She also writes m/f romances as Gabbi Black and Gabbi Powell.
