Mary Winter 
Second Chance Inheritance [EPUB ebook] 

Catriona has enough to deal with since she’s just inherited Queenie, an overly pampered kitty, and Cookie, a Cocker Spaniel, who belonged to her parents. When her best friend tells her that Dylan Donnovan, dog trainer to the stars, has returned from California, she thinks maybe he can help her with Cookie. There can’t be anything between them. He left once.
Dylan returned to Missouri for one reason: Catriona. He’ll help her with Cookie, and hopefully in the process convince her that he’s back to stay.

Note: This sweetly sensual short story stands alone, but features other characters introduced in the 2 Hearts Rescue South series. This title was previously published in an anthology as The Cocky Dog Trainer.
