The Vet’s Secret Wish
by J. L. Campbell

Matthias Laing has Toni Nevers’ assurance that she’ll marry him on Valentine’s Day—eleven long months away. The trouble is, Matthias can’t rest easy, not after Toni’s ex admits he made a mistake and wants her back. A man of action, Matthias isn’t leaving his dream of having forever-and-a-day with Toni to chance. The ace up Matthias’ sleeve is Toni’s five-year-old daughter, Jade, who has taken a shine to Matthias and wants him installed as her ’back-up daddy’. With Jade and her small army of pets on his side, they roll out a plan to get Toni to marry him within six months. Will this enterprising pair—aided by Jade’s growing menagerie—be successful in their bid to have a summer wedding?
