Love You, Fleas and All
Standalone Novel
Meg is a dedicated veterinary nurse who loves cats and dogs though she can be less positive about their owners. But giving her best at the veterinary practice where she works doesn’t satisfy her boss – a woman who could make a piranha look gentle. Devoting so much energy to her career isn’t doing Meg’s marriage much good either. When things go from bad to worse, Meg realises she must make a change.
A second chance at romance is possible. If only Meg can believe that there is someone who will love her fleas and all.
