It took an injured dog to bring them together, but it’s going to take a miracle -- and maybe some dog treats -- to help them find love.

Mabel
I’ve always been a little different. Some people might call me eccentric, but I prefer to think of myself as free spirited. After coming into some money on my fortieth birthday, I move to Starlight Bay, buy a house with a view of the beach, and hang up my shingle as the town’s new tarot card reader. Everything is going great, at least until my rescue dog Esmerelda gets injured...

Joshua
As a veterinarian in a town that caters to tourists, I see a lot of weird things. But this is the first time I’ve ever had to cut a dog out of a princess costume. Apparently it’s “Dress Up Your Dog Day” and this poor pup’s wacky owner thought it would be fun to celebrate – at least until her dog went after a squirrel.

Mabel is the most annoying woman I’ve ever met, but for some reason, the more I run into her the harder it is to remember why. The curvy beauty is making me feel things I’ve never felt before. I’ve avoided relationships for fifty years, but suddenly I’m thinking about engagement rings and happily ever after, but it's going to take a lot of convincing to show this independent woman that I love her just the way she is.

“Heavy Petting” is a midlife, opposites attract, instalove romance with a grumpy older doctor, a spunky sunshine clairvoyant, and a matchmaking mutt who’s determined to finally have a family. If you enjoy fun romantic comedies with eccentric characters over forty, download this book today.
