What would you do for the love of a pet? Or to win the heart of a skittish paranormal? These five stories by best-selling M/M romance author J.D. Walker will show you what happens when the heart stops at nothing to get what it wants. Contains the stories: All a Steer Can Do Is Try: Clifford Ames is overworked by his boss and desperately needs a change. Temporary escape comes in the form of a wedding invitation he gladly accepts. When Clifford arrives at the resort with his dog, Bambi, he encounters Jetson Briscoe, who turns him inside out. But an emergency business call at the resort has Clifford wondering whether enough is enough, and it's time for a change -- with Jetson. Of Paws and Pet Rocks: Barry Dunning is a lonely pet groomer and painter of rocks. He's been burned badly by an ex-boyfriend who left him with tons of debt. Then Sheldon Svenson, the owner of the animal shelter where Barry volunteers on weekends, asks him out on a date. It ends badly, but Sheldon pursues Barry and convinces him to give them another chance. Maybe this time, they'll get it right. Romancing the Bouncer: Ben Pachowski is a bouncer at Throwbacks. Monty Mabuse, bass player for a popular band that performs there, wants Ben, but he won't do anything but flirt. Monty plays dirty to get in Ben's pants, and it backfires. Having alienated Ben, Monty has to figure out how to make amends. He has his work cut out for him, but a little romance could go a long way. To Catch His Mate: Felix Cotter is an insurance investigator, and a mixed breed shifter. He's hot on the trail of a thief who smells like mate. When Felix comes face to face with white panther shifter Tyler Panterone, the feeling of belonging grows even stronger. Tyler is being forced to steal against his will, and Felix is determined to help him. In fact, he wants to keep him safe and at his side forever. To Love His Mate: Tyler Panterone is worried. Someone from his lover's past has come to call and Tyler is terrified that Felix will be taken away from him. It makes for a tense few days as Thanksgiving Day looms, and then another shifter appears out of the blue. With the kids causing mischief and the house to manage, Tyler is at his wit's end. Will this Thanksgiving bring everyone together or tear them apart?

“Love you, Tyler. I’ll be waiting for you.” I kissed him long and hard before breaking it off and backing away. Tyler blinked and his eyes changed back.


“I’ll see you soon, lover,” he said. 14


I spent the rest of the night typing up my report before submitting it to the insurance company. After emailing Kevin to thank him for his help, I sent a copy of the report to Hal, and promised to send him a bottle of scotch as both an apology and a thank you.


I went in to the office early to meet with my superiors. They were so happy to have the case resolved, they didn’t even blink when I asked for an extended leave of absence. I was told the door was always open for my return.
