Barefoot Bay: Shelter Me (Kindle Worlds Novella)

Will Noah and Abby's relationship end when the veterinary conference does?

When her high-profile relationship takes a wrong turn, Abby Thames escapes to her aunt's house on Mimosa Key, because it barely has a grid. She doesn't want to read gossip articles about herself. She doesn't want to drop her expensive engagement ring behind the toilet either. And she certainly doesn't want tall, handsome Dr. Noah Benson to find her in such a compromised position in his villa as she tries to retrieve the diamond.

Noah's on the island for a veterinary conference. Never mind that he's never practiced veterinary medicine or that he just barely adopted the two dogs he's brought with him. He can't go back to the upscale ski resort and lodge he was promised but that was stolen from him by his ex-fiance, even if the beach is the last place he wants to be.

He's immediately drawn to Abby, as she seems to know he's a snow-lover despite his carefully chosen swimming trunks. Their spark is instant, and as they spend more time together, a wild idea hatches that he could buy the animal clinic on Mimosa Key that's just gone up for sale, and she can be his business partner. His personal partner. Life partner. All kinds of partners.

Then Abby's celebrity boyfriend shows up on the island, talking love, marriage, and babies. All the things Noah's been wanting to talk about with Abby. Too bad she never told him what she was looking for behind that toilet. Can Noah and Abby find shelter in each other from the storm of revelations that follow? Or will their relationship end when the veterinary conference does?
