NAOMI Dog groomer? I can do that. I did a course. Kind of almost finished it. It’s a job and I sure as hell need one right now. But almost killing my boss on the first day? I guess I can do that too. Although, I don’t exactly mean to. Okay, it’s complicated. Starts out as lunch and ends in… Well. I guess it ends in being the best two or three most mixed-up days of my life. It looks like I’m stuck looking after a huge police dog until Monday as well. None of it makes sense until I see Officer Parker though, the tall dark, and way beyond handsome cop who comes to collect his K9 partner. The man who comes to my rescue. A real man. I’ve never seen one in action. Always thought they were just in movies or books. But Parker? He’s all man. And there’s something inside me that’s suddenly feeling like it needs to be tamed by such a man. But would he even go for a younger, thicker girl like me? I can’t wait to find out. PARKER Leaving my police K9 partner Moose behind while I go upstate to visit family isn’t my idea of fun. It’s just for one weekend, and Sasha is the best. The only dog groomer who can handle Moose when he gets near water. Never his strong point. But then I get the call. Turns out he’s been left in the hands of someone I don’t know. Some girl apparently. It’s a small blessing really. I don’t get on with my aging mother and it gives me the perfect excuse to head back to town early. If I’d known though. If I even knew she existed, I would never have gone anywhere else but straight to her. She’s perfect. From the first second I see her, plus the fact Moose has already made his mind up about her I know she’s the one. Half my age and prettier than a peach, I know age is just a number and I’ll do everything in my power to keep her close to me from now on. She will be mine. *Groomed For Love is an insta-everything standalone instalove romance with a HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.
