"If you love cats or dogs, you will love this " "...thrilling and captivating..." "VERY funny." As a veterinarian Sydney Linden knows cats and dogs, but she has unfortunate gaps in her expertise when it comes to men. Her elderly friend Mae decides Syd should get together with Ben, the new Shady Haven park manager, and gives her a gentle shove in that direction but before Syd can quite get her balance back, Mae dies unexpectedly. Mae's nephew Eddie, who happens to be in town looking for a loan to repay gambling debts, has his own problems. He's being trailed by a mismatched pair of enforcers sent by his bookie and although he has fierce hopes that he knows where his aunt has hidden a fortune, he can't get to it. For reasons that Eddie can't comprehend, the animals in Shady Haven keep ruthlessly interrupting him. Then Syd gets creative in a dangerous way that may lead to the downfall of both men... in very different directions. "This book is about people full of life. As well as cats and dogs that have attitude. A must read."
