A vegetarian veterinarian needs cash for a no-kill shelter, which is her life’s passion. But her efforts to fundraiser have been stymied, because she doesn’t know anyone rich.

The heir to a hot dog fortune must give away money before he gains his inheritance. Having been raised with a silver spoon in his mouth, he doesn’t know anyone needy enough.

Sounds like a match made in Heaven, but when a stray mutt brings them together, will they recognize what the other can provide?


Read an Exclusive Excerpt

No one had taken Daria’s picture.

No one would discover who Dad was or where he currently resided. She could relax a little, and she let her shoulders down. At the table adorned with a centerpiece that was tall enough to block her view, she eyed everyone else’s actions before she picked up her utensils. She’d been at many balls and fundraisers. Sadly, the information about what fork to use or when never stuck in her mind.

She had other talents than picking the correct utensil. One of which was separating rich men from their money for a good cause, of course, which was her animals.

“What do you do?” one of those rich men at the table asked her. He had a close-trimmed beard and tiny spectacles.

Now was her chance. The first question was always about your profession. “I’m a veterinarian.”

“She also runs an amazing animal shelter,” Samuel added.

Odd of him to be supportive.

The man cleared his throat. “Animal shelter?”

“A no-kill shelter,” she began.

After each sentence, the man leaned closer.

He was hooked. She figured he’d be good for at least a few hundred. She would be a few more dollars closer to her goal of buying the property next to her office to build a bigger shelter.

The shoe-catcher sauntered by with a woman on his arm. He glanced her way. He sported a mustache and slicked back hair.

Daria almost stumbled in her spiel.

He smiled.
