When Amy Reyes inherits her father's beloved pet store, she gets more than she bargained for: a crumbling lease, twenty years of secrets buried in a filing cabinet, and one scruffy, irresistible terrier mix puppy who refuses to be anyone's second choice.
Three months after her father's death, Amy is barely keeping Pawsitive Vibes afloat. She knows how to soothe a frightened kitten and coax a grumpy hamster from its shell - but invoices, payroll, and a property management company threatening to double her rent? That's a different beast altogether.
Then Ryan walks in, carrying a cat carrier and a look of barely controlled panic, and everything gets considerably more complicated.
He's patient, steady, and impossibly good with animals. She's stubborn, grieving, and absolutely certain she can handle her father's mess on her own. They're falling for each other - and for Rascal, the chaos-agent puppy who keeps engineering their most important moments - faster than either of them is ready to admit.
But when the lease crisis finally forces Amy to choose between her pride and her future, she'll have to decide what together really means - not just with Ryan, but with the neighborhood, the regulars, and the father whose last letter might hold the answer she's been searching for all along.
Puppy Love is a warm, funny, and deeply felt contemporary romance about grief, inheritance, and the terrifying, worthwhile work of finally letting people in.
Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Jojo Moyes, and Susan Mallery.
