A New Leash on Love

by Jaime Clevenger and Aurora Rey

Rocky Springs is the last place Kit Hartman wants to be. But when the home renovation show that was supposed to be her big break gets canceled, she has no choice but to return to the sleepy little mountain town and take a job in the family business. The only good news is that she finally has time to adopt a dog.

Olive might be a perfect dog someday. For now, she’s a naughty handful. And when she knocks down an attractive stranger at the dog park, Kit realizes she’s in over her head. Especially since the stranger is someone she recognizes.

Shawn McCoy never expected to run into Kit at the dog park, let alone offer to help train her dog. But helping everyone in Rocky Springs is what Shawn does best—and keeping busy means there’s no time to think about a life or an identity that breaks the mold.

For two people who don’t think life in Rocky Springs will ever change, this holiday season might be one that changes everything.

FROM THE AUTHOR

"Writing is usually a solitary affair—often a slow one at that. The process can sometimes feel lonely and it can be hard to keep the creative energy flowing. One fix to this is collaborating with another writer. Along with the benefit of sharing writing tips and tricks, there’s no shortage of creative energy. Sometimes, though, it can be tricky reining in all the ideas!

When Aurora Rey and I got together to write A New Leash on Love, we knew we wanted a story about two people meeting at a dog park. We also knew we wanted to set the story around the holidays and have one theme be about the struggle of returning to a small town. But in the collaborating process, we realized we also wanted to explore the decision to leave a small town and how identity can evolve—and how this can affect a fledgling relationship. Oh, we also wanted to write about being a dog parent. Suffice it to say, we had no shortage of ideas. Bringing our characters, Kit and Shawn, to life and sending them to the dog park that fateful day was just the beginning of the fun. We hope you enjoy A New Leash on Love as much as we enjoyed writing it."
