A Novel





From the author of The Fool's Tale and I, Iago comes a disarmingly charming and warm-hearted "romcom" about a woman, her dog, and the man who has to prove that he is good enough for both of them.

Sara Renault fired Rory O'Connor from his part-time job at a Boston art museum, and in response, Rory--an Irish actor secretly nursing a crush on his beautiful boss--threw caution to the wind, leaned over, and kissed her. Now Sara and Rory are madly in love.

When Rory's visa runs out on the cusp of his big Hollywood break, Sara insists that he marry her to get a green card. In a matter of weeks they've gone from being friendly work colleagues to a live-in couple, and it's all grand . . . except for Sara's dog, Cody, who had been a gift from Sara's sociopath ex-boyfriend. Sara's over-attachment to her dog is the only thing she and Rory fight about.

When Rory scores both his green card and the lead role in an upcoming TV pilot, he and Sara (and Cody) prepare to move to Los Angeles. But just before their departure, Cody is kidnapped by Sara's ex--and it is entirely Rory's fault. Sara is furious and broken-hearted. Desperate to get back into Sara's good graces, Rory takes off and tracks Cody and the dog-napper to North Carolina. Can Rory rescue Cody and convince Sara that they belong together--with Cody--as a family First they'll need to survive a madcap adventure that takes them all across the heartland of America.

Stepdog is a refreshing and hilarious romantic comedy that asks: How far would you go for the one you love

He is sent home to America, where the only human he connects with is Justin, and he is soon adopted by Kyle's family, essentially saving his life. At first Justin has no interest in taking care of his late brother's troubled dog. However, the two learn to trust each other, which helps the four-legged veteran become his heroic self once more.

Can these opposites turn up the heat... without burning down the house?



House-flipping sensation and YouTube star Maggie Nichols can't wait to dig into her next challenge. Arriving in tiny Kinship, Idaho, with only a cot and a coffeemaker, Maggie is prepared to restore a crumbling Victorian mansion in four months or less. She has her to-do lists, her blueprints, and her team. What she doesn't have is time for sexy, laid-back landscaper Silas Wright.



The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless...sometimes pants-less. He and his service school-dropout dog are impressively persistent. But she's not interested in putting down roots. Not when fans tune in to watch her travel the country turning dilapidated houses into dream homes. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar. After all, Maggie remembers what fun is like. Vaguely.



As their summer gets downright steamy, Silas manages to demolish the emotional walls she's spent years building, sending Maggie into a panic. He's the wrench in her carefully constructed plans. With the end of the project looming, she has a decision to make. But how can she stay when her entire career is built on moving on?

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • When a woman alone in the world bravely chooses to open her heart, two lost souls have a new chance at belonging, in this intimate novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber. A new beginning in charming Oceanside, Washington, is exactly what Hope Godwin needs after the death of her twin brother. There are plenty of distractions, like her cozy cottage with the slightly nosy landlords next door, and a brewing drama among her students at the local high school. Even having settled quickly into the community, Hope still feels something is still missing. That is, until her landlords convince her to volunteer at their animal shelter. There she meets Shadow, a rescue dog that everyone has given up on. But true to her name, Hope believes he’s worth saving. Like Shadow, shelter volunteer Cade Lincoln Jr. is suffering with injuries most can’t see. A wounded ex-marine, Cade identifies with Shadow, assuming they are both beyond help. Hope senses that what they each need is someone to believe in them, and she has a lot of love to give. As she gains Shadow’s trust, Hope notices Cade begins to open up as well. Finding the courage to be vulnerable again, Cade and Hope take steps toward a relationship, and Hope finally begins to feel at peace in her new home. But Hope’s happiness is put to the test when Cade’s past conflicts resurface, and Hope becomes embroiled in the escalating situation at the high school. Love and compassion are supposed to heal all wounds, but are they enough to help Hope and Cade overcome the pain of their past and the obstacles in the way of a better future?

Surprising New Science to Help Your Canine Companion Live Younger, Healthier, and Longer

"A ground-breaking book to help dogs live healthier and longer lives. When Rodney Habib's dog, Sam, was diagnosed with cancer in 2013, it sent him on a mission to save her life. At the age of five, Sam was given only six months to live. Her plight inspired Rodney to travel the world, looking for innovative ways to arrest the progression of the disease. In his quest to save Sam, he met world-renowned veterinarian Karen Becker, a proactive pet health advocate with more than 20 years of experience. The two quickly realized they had the same goal: to improve the quality of life for dogs and pet parents everywhere. For the last three years, they've interviewed top geneticists, microbiologists, and researchers, collecting data related to their mission. What they discovered has the potential to change the pet world forever, just as it has changed the fate of Rodney's beloved Sam, who is now 11, and still very much a part of his life. They interviewed top geneticists, microbiologists, and people who have owned the oldest dogs in the world to find out what they did--or didn't do--to enable their dogs to live into their 20s and, in some cases, even into their 30s. What they discovered has the potential to change the pet world forever. Backed by cutting-edge research, The Forever Dog explores the key factors that can help improve your dog's health lengthen your dog's lifespan including the truth about the food that you're probably feeding your pet and then explain what the commercial manufacturers don't want you to know: that is, what that food is actually doing to your pet's health. We'll offer practical solutions and tips on how to better provide your dog the nutrients he needs--safely. In Lifestyle, we'll explore how external factors such as exercise, environmental toxins, the stress in your own life and the choices your veterinarian leads you to make can greatly affect your pet's overall health and wellbeing so you can raise a Forever Dog."--
