When it comes to caring for the four-legged residents of St. Helena, pet groomer and rescue fanatic Shay Michaels can handle anything—from skittish pit bulls to three-legged cats with attitude. Humans, however, are a different breed entirely. Especially the town’s golden-boy lawman: honorable, infuriatingly upright, and unfairly gorgeous—even when he’s knocking on her door to investigate yet another complaint about her ever-growing collection of foster animals. Which is exactly why Shay, a proud free spirit with a talent for collecting strays—furry and otherwise—knows better than to trust him with her heart.

Jonah Baudouin has been trying very hard to ignore Shay Michaels since the day she blew into town like a glitter cannon of chaos. Unfortunately, the more laws she accidentally breaks, the more time he spends at her house—and the harder it is to remember why kissing her senseless is a bad idea. As a by-the-book deputy with his eye on the sheriff’s badge, Jonah should steer clear of the curvy, rule-bending animal rescuer who turns his orderly world upside down. But keeping Shay out of trouble is quickly becoming his full-time job… and the real danger is that he’s starting to like it.
